Development Getting Started & Setup

Hi there, I wanted to give UE5.4 a try to check the new motion graphics features. Sadly the editor crashes everytime while compiling the shaders.

I got a windows11 pc, i7-9700 with 32gb ram and a rtx4060ti with 16gb.

This is the text from the Crash reporter:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000028

i updated to the newest drivers, tried game ready and studio version.

any ideas what could cause the crash? i uploaded the crash-files here: https://tempfiles.earthcontrol.de/ue/UECC-Windows-5F43CA93424E1F4D649A23987DF30A89_0000.zip

Kind regards,

Hey there @dindello! Welcome to the community! The nvwgf2umx error is a graphical driver/setup issue. You can refer to this thread where I compiled most of the fixes and workarounds I’m aware of!
