Display Driver Crash When Working In The Blueprint Editor

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Just wanted to report that UE4 4.8.3 crashes my display driver seemingly at random when working on blueprints. I have noticed it most often happens when browsing or selecting components to add to a blueprint from the drop-down menu.

My Specs are:

Core i7-4820K @ 3.7 GHz
16GB RAM
Win 10
Nvidia GTX 780

I have tried reinstalling the Launcher/Engine after about 2 crashes but have received ~2 since then as well. I only received an error dump on the first crash which I successfully sent automatically.

One crash also required a hard reset after freezing the whole OS and my motherboard actually gave me POST errors on restart but fixed itself after unplugging and plugging back in the PSU.

Hi Matthew,

Can you send along your dxdiag info? Would you check to make sure your display drivers are up to date? Are you running in DX12 or DX11?

Hi, Thanks for the response. I have not had a crash since I posted this originally. I feel like this happens whenever I report a problem, just tell someone about it and it fixes itself haha. I have also moved up to 4.9 and have not had a crash on that version either.

I will let you know if anything changes but for now I am no longer experiencing any problems.

Hi Matthew,

Glad it “fixed itself” :slight_smile:

Definitely let us know if it starts up again.
