5.8 Freezing on UI interaction

Summary

Following issues not present in 5.7.4: Upon load, buttons or dropdown menus cause complete freeze and sometimes crash. For some reason i can load the new project window and mouse around, but selecting a dropdown or hitting the create button will freeze 100%. Have also tried loading with these flags SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 ./UnrealEditor -dx11. This was repeated with a ubuntu 22.03 docker, but this version is outdated and doesnt support newer radeon cards, so UE 5.8 wont load.

System:
Ubuntu 24.04
XFCE X11
Ryzen 9 5900xt
Radeon R9700 (RDNA 4)
64GB DDR4
AM4 socket

Love how the release notes list linux support when it not even working on a “supported” distro like Ubuntu
