I’ve compiled UE4.11 editor from GitHub source on my openSUSE 42.1 KDE system and when I try to launch the editor via “cd Engine/Binaries/Linux && ./UE4Editor” it crashes without any errors or showing only a thin black window on my desktop or a big black window that covers my whole screen that crashes after 2 minutes.
When compiling UE4, I haven’t got any errors, so I don’t know, why it crashes.
The editor worked really good on my former installation, an elementary OS Freya (based on Ubuntu 14.04) with a not so good processor. The Unity Editor for Linux runs great, only UE4 crashes…
Thank you in advance!
UPDATE (7.4.2016) I’ve got these errors in diagnostics.txt:

Looks like UE4 can’t run with AMD Radeon drivers, but why?
UPDATE (14.4.2016) I now know, that I’ve forgotten to create the BuildConfiguration.xml. It seems that this prevented the editor to start. Now I added one and everything seems OK, but about five seconds after starting I get the error “Signal 11 caught.” and the editor doesn’t show up either. But the messages that are printed out
before crashing are the same I got using the editor under elementary OS, so I really do not know where the editor crashes.
Since the process catches sig11, there’s no log from where I could copy&paste information from…
Hope that you have enough information now.
