Hang using Unreal 5.6.1 on Linux

Development Getting Started & Setup

I’m new to Unreal and tried to run the first person template in the editor. I run around fine, but if I walk into a wall, the editor hangs. I’m using Linux Mint 22.2, with Nvidia driver 580.65.06, targeting Vulkan Desktop (SM6). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I also tried to run unreal insights but I don’t understand how the output translates to the issue.

hey, welcome to the forums. happy to see another fellow penguin.

i have no idea what the problem is. i’ve never seen it. i’ve know people who uses linux mint and have no issue.

it would help to know a few more details:

  • do you use wayland?
  • have you modified that project?
  • which version of ue are you using?
  • can you share the logs?

it seems to be stuck on tick, maybe in the ui tick. which is odd.
