Hi,

I use Unreal 5.2.1 (Source) and package my project. It’s running in the editor with no error. It also works when I get development build. Whenever I set the configuration to shipping, i receive this error in the beginning and it crashes.

My pc configuration;

There is no active graphics context on this command list. There may be a missing call to SwitchPipeline().

```

Is there anyone experienced a similar issue like this?
