looking all over for a fix here, getting crash on start up with 5.6.0 and 5.5.4 no projects created yet havent gotten it too load up a single time with this PC used the Nvidia panel to install the game ready and the studio drivers no luck and have completely uninstalled and reinstalled engines and epic games launcher multiple times . no virus protection besides windows security.
this is the error list i get on start up
Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000040
“Verify” the Installation on the Epic Games launcher,
Tried to running them as Adminstrator and
checked if the “DefaultEngine.ini” file is inside the AppData/Local/UnrealEngine/…/Config folder.
This help is for the Epic Games Launcher and their UE-Games, but maybe it can be reproduced on your system… but installing latest BIOS is something I would not recommend to the normal User:
yeah i tried all the tricks in the link that was posted and i also updated the bios. still getting the same errors when crashing on start up. i have noticed if i try to launch the engine from the library tab in the epic store front i get this error code: LS-0013
so i was only running unreal engine in Admin i started the epic games launcher in admin as well now i no longer get the LS-0013 error and im getting more info on the start up crash now
Hey there @Victor4399! This error references the Nvidia dll file nvwgf2umx.dll there’s been some issues with recent driver releases, so I’d recommend trying to backdate the drivers if possible. If that doesn’t work, there’s a small collection of workarounds and (a couple of) fixes to some related issues with that dll.
Thank you i really appreciate it. i rolled back to a Nvidia Driver from march and UE launched and worked perfectly. thanks for taking the time too respond.
