hi @FrankNova ,

Is 32GB of RAM with nothing else open not enough?

You probably need to add a 64GB (64000) pagefile for 5.6 just like Fortnite UEFN 5.6

Also having this issue! I have even tried to lower the graphics settings on the optimized settings, and I still keep crashing out. I hope this gets fixed soon. It’s like getting a present and the thing inside doesn’t work. Bummer, Man!

Hey Guys! How its going? I had the same issue, i think its a bug related with all the MH plugins old and new, what i did was, create a new project and only enable metahuman creator, restart and enable the missing plugins, after that i have 0 issues on that project.

Hope it helps!

I had the same issue but fixed it when I changed to 2k texture.

Same here. I have a 4080 with 16GB onboard and 128GB Ram, so I’d like to be able to at least load 4k textures, but only 2k works for me.

FORT-932527 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

RTX 4060 8GB, i9 13th, 32GB RAM here. I mean… not the highest spects in the world, but one would think that its enough to use Unreal Engine. any workarounds?

Hi @nicksmmith ,

In another post, the answer to a similar question was to manually increase Virtual Memory by 64GB. So, with an SSD, it’s nothing. In Fortnite Metahuman Creator, some people are using a spare SSD drive and setting a 256 GB manual Page file.

There is a change where the Meta Creator on the cloud has expired for new users, and only 5.6 is now the only thing and needs massive Virtual Memory, see here

The highest Seen is 512GB on a whole SSD card. These are the Metahuman Creator’s massive models.
The user has a high-spec machine and is so pleased to buy the SDD chip at £150. Buy a Quality FAST SDD from a well-known manufacturer. Check the speed rating.

This is how to install a Page file to increase Virtual Memory

How to add virtual memory

Use these values

32GB = 3200
256GB = 25600 recommended for Fortnite Metahuman Creator.
512GB SDD = 51200
