Hi everybody!
My name is Till and I’m mainly a sound and music guy and therefore pretty much a noob in Unreal Engine and 3D in general. Also this is my first posting in this community. So forgive me if I posted this to the wrong category or something like that. Here to learn! 
My issue:
I’m using Unreal Editor 5.5.4 on a Mac M4 Pro chip and everything worked like a charm until I started importing material textures. It instantly crashed on me and after trying out around I found out that it crashes every single time when I import normal maps, no matter the size….
My specs:
Mac mini M4 Pro
64GB RAM
MacOs Sequioa 15.3.1 (24D70)
My approaches so far:
- Tried turning it off and on again
- Installed and tested on an older UE version (5.4.4)
- Reinstalled and ran X-Code in case any components were not initially installed
- Disconnected 2 of my 3 monitor displays
- Used different kind of textures and normal maps from different companies
- One forum (the only post I could find with the exact error) proposed the following solution: „Just go to Plugin and uncheck Oodle Network and Oodle Texture“ which led to me not being able to open my project at all without crashing…
My questions:
What could this issue be?
Are there any settings I should change in general when working on Mac M4?
Big thanks in advance to everybody!
Best,
Till
