So I downloaded unreal engine for the first time on my MacBook M1 Pro, I downloaded the 5.7 version and the 5.5.4 version. But when I click on launch in the epic games launcher, it opens and it shows the loading screen with initializing at 10% and it just disappear and quits the loading screen. It doesn’t give any error or crash report. I don’t really know anything about such things so maybe the solution is really simple but I just dont know anything to do. (I also didn’t know what category to fill in so mb if its wrong).
Hello there @Steven2958!
Since you are getting no crash at all, and the engine is just frozen with no reaction, it sounds like your installation might be missing certain elements. The most likely one would be the Xcode Command Line Tools. To make sure that’s present, please do the following:
- Open your Terminal, and type xcode-select --install
- A popup should appear, to confirm the tools installation
- Once it’s done, restart your system, and re-open UE
Another possibility, is missing elements on the engine itself. To resolve that, we just need to verify UE’s install:
- Open the Epic Launcher, and go to Library
- Locate your installs, both 5.4 and 5.7, and check the dropdown menu with three dots
- There, click on “Verify”, which will scan your files and repair anything broke (do this for both versions of UE)
- Once completed, test opening UE again
