On UE 5.2, as well as 5.3, the LyraStarterGame project crashes the editor right after I open it. I’m presented with a “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed” error message and then a GPU crash dump is performed:

This does not happen on UE 5.1, nor does it happen with any other project that I’ve ever opened. My computer has a Radeon RX 6800XT, and the graphics drivers are up-to-date. Does anyone know what can be done about this? I’ve attached a copy of the project logs.

You’re welcome! I really hope Epic gets around to fixing this, for 5.3 at the very least.

For anyone who stumbles across this post, another user found a workaround! Disabling ray tracing and Lumen hardware ray tracing has solved the problem for some folks, including myself.

Hopefully Epic doesn’t wait until UE 5.4 to fix this bug…_if_ they ever fix it at all…
