crash after editor is loaded

[dindello]

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

Any version crash!!!

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.
