5.5 crashing upon start-up

[GAMESHONK]

I’ve just installed UE (never used it before) via Epic Launcher and I just can’t get it to run. It launches but as soon as I do anything, click on any menu etc, it crashes. My system is decent enough (AMD Ryzen 7 5800xd 8CORE, 32GB RAM) and I’ve updated the latest nvideo driver, but UE just doesn’t stay stable. I’ve tried a reinstall but to no avail. Any ideas?

The error codes I get are as follows:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000028

Hey there @DSchultz2000! Welcome to the community! So the nvwgf2umx portion of this error refers to an Nvidia graphical dll. So more than likely it’s related to GPU settings or drivers. Most time’s I’ve run into this, the fix comes from a few possible angles.
