Development Getting Started & Setup

To put it simply what is the best version of Unreal Engine for a noob to make a low poly open-world game that isn’t too heavy of minimal specs? i have a i5-7400, 1050ti with 24gb of ram but i would rather the game be able to ran on much slower machines

I think Unreal Engine 1 is the least performance heavy but is it even good for open world games that don’t want as much fog as Morrowind? would the project on UE5 be still THAT much heavier if i only used low poly assets and disabled a lot of features? heavy enough to outweight how much more streamlined the process probably would be?

Thank you in advance

Definitely go for UE4 (4.27), most performant version with the most amount of documentation out there, perfect for someone who’s starting

Thank you that actually sounds perfect
