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.
- Defaulting your Nvidia 3D settings
- Disable G-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel
- For HP Omen Users: UE 5.5.3 Crash on start up (GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed) - #3 by Gee-meister
- Changing to Studio drivers instead of Game Ready drivers
- (For laptops) Disabling whisper mode in Geforce Experience can correct some lag.
- Making sure the BIOS or windows are not using an iGPU (integrated GPU) over your main GPU
- Downgrading driver version (if a recent update broke compatibility)
- Lowering your project RHI to DirectX11 (this is only a temporary workaround if you need DX12)
- Changing Anti-Aliasing settings (workaround)
- Disable overlays that work over unreal
- Disable MSI-Afterburner or Rivatuner if you use them
- Forcing shader mode to 6 (DX12)
- Clean install of GPU drivers
- Custom install of graphics drivers without the GeForce experience
