please, I’ve been trying to fix this for 4 days and I’m really tired. Unreal Engine crashes every time I open it (I haven’t started any project yet), I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but it happened after the update to 5.5, and I don’t know if it’s always a coincidence After Effects didn’t work anymore either.
The error is this:
The GPU has crashed or the D3D device has been removed.
Check the log for GPU status information.
GPU Crash dump Triggered
I tried everything:
-add the value for TrdDelay following the guide on the site
-update all the drivers
-downgrade the graphics card drivers
-add -dx11 on the link (but the error changed to: UnrealEditor_D3D11RHI)
-restore the graphics card settings
-format the pc
I don’t use afterburn or similar. Unreal Engine is the first program I install and it doesn’t work anyway, after effects works
I use a hp victus laptop with i7-13700h and rtx 4060 8gb
Does it happen fast (right when Unreal is started) or after some time?
I bought really nice tablet (for presentation of what i did in unreal, so i do not need to share github projects), however this new powerful GAMING tablet OVERHEATS after 20-30min in most games and with unreal just 2-5 min.
So maybe your laptop overheats? It also can have something already damaged from overheating. That is price for unrealistically thin laptops, you can miniaturize silicon, but that does not work with thermals.
Try limiting FPS it sometimes help with stability for unreal.
If it works in 5.4 just downgrade, 5.5 (preview) made my powerful (few years back) Desktop PC choke. Now it is fine.
The crash happens with every version of Unreal Engine after starting it via the Epic Games launcher (even without a launcher). The strange thing is that until a few months ago it worked without problems then I didn’t open it again until the update came out and, being curious, I wanted to download it to start a project.
Try some unreal packaged project and some unreal based games.
And try undeclocking in bios setup (first safe bios settings).
Maybe your laptop manufacturer has some hardware testing.
Possible causes of such crashes is that graphics card is about to die or has damaged hardware, or dust accumulated or fan is not working correctly. Get temperature monitoring app.
You formatted and reinstalled windows on PC, and after fresh install it happens again, so my bet (sadly) is that graphics card is dying. Try some really old unreal build like newest 4.xx, 5.1 etc, see if any of those works.
Hi and thanks for the reply, unfortunately no version of Unreal Engine works… Are you saying that my gpu is dying? I cleaned the fans from dust just yesterday but it did not improve the situation.
If my gpu was dying would it not cause problems for other software that use the GPU? I did some tests and it seems to be stable…
If all unreal versions crash, and after fresh windows install with fresh drivers nothing changed, i think its CPU GPU or RAM damage.
To clarify: did you format PC (ie. system drive) and installed fresh windows? If yes then i am almost sure it is some hardware issue.
Also, if you familiar with linux, try it, see if unreal under linux works for you (linux differently uses ram, has different mapping for what is where).
And, get some hardware tests, best would be from laptop manufacturer.
Unreal is quite demanding, Unreal Editor is very very demanding, so it uses all RAM and VRAM, and loves to overheat GPU. So smaller games can work, when unreal takes all the ram and some of it is bad it will crash.
ps.
Try downgrading windows to win10, or even lower.
