Hello there, I installed UE 5.3.1 on my iMac 21.5" (2017), 16gb RAM, 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 running macOS Ventura 13.6. When I try to launch UE it starts compiling shaders (about 4000) and when finished it crashes (at about 35%) and displays the following message:
Fatal error: [File:./Runtime/Engine/Private/ShaderCompiler/ShaderCompiler.cpp] [Line: 8619] Failed to compile global shader FNiagaraCopySVTToDenseBufferCS . Enable ‘r.ShaderDevelopmentMode’ in ConsoleVariables.ini for retries.

As the message says:
Enable ‘r.ShaderDevelopmentMode’ in ConsoleVariables.ini for retries.*
I tried to enable ShaderDevelopmentMode mode but nothing changed on the second try.
Also removing the ; inside the ConsoleVariables.ini (line 68) as mentioned here
doesn’t work for me.
Any suggestion???
