Constent crash of Unreal engine 5 on macbook pro using Sonoma 14.4.1

Hi, This is the first time I’m posting on this forum. I’m just trying to get into Unreal game development. Hope this is the right place to bring up this topic.

I recently tried installing Unreal Engine 5 on my MacBook Pro. Every time I try opening the editor after installing, it just keeps crashing. Can anyone guide me on this?

Here is my system configuration:

  • MacBook Pro Retina, 15-Inch, Mid 2015
  • Processor 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
  • Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB
  • Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
  • Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
  • Running on Sonoma 14.4.1

One thing to note, I’m using a very old MacBook pro whitch is running Sonoma 14.4.1, through Open Core Patcher. I was previousally using macOS Monterey, I never encountered such issue when I was running this OS version. It was only after I upgraded to Sonoma 14.4.1 through Open Core Patcher that I started facing this problme. Not sure if they may be related, just thought I would bring this up.

Here is the crash report that I’m getting:

The crash is primarily happening in version 5.3.2. I also tried with 5.2.1, same issue there. Right now, I’m just trying to install more older versions of the engine to see if this is also happening there. Hope someone can guide me on this.

On 5.3 it works fine (I got MacbookPro M2) but on 5.2 I’ve the game problem

Same here 14.4.1 (23E224) I recently downloaded Epic Games Launcher but the launcher keeps re-opening, verifying updates, then re-open again, it just keeps doing it in a loop.
