Hey there @Juanca436! This error stems from a graphical issue. This could be that whatever you were doing in game had overtaxed your graphics card or that there’s another issue causing graphical failure.
Most common fixes come from:
- Updating your graphics drivers
- Closing conflicting programs, most commonly overlays and GPU utilities don’t play well with Unreal. For example: Afterburner or Discord’s overlay
- Reinstalling/verifying game files
I’ve done everything and nothing works.
When does the crash happen ?
When I open UEFN it loads up to 90% and then I get that error, if you want I can send you the log
This fornite window, is this your own Unreal Engine project, or Fornite itself? I don’t work with Fornite.
In case of Unreal Engine projects you create, you can get more detailed crash logs when you install Editor Symbols for your UE version from the epic launcher.
This is Unreal Engine for Fortnite
Have you opened the editor before on that PC ?
If it was working, do you have auto load last project on ?
Hi @Juanca436 ,
Maybe that error happens because of an issue with the GPU or how UEFN handles shaders during startup. If it crashes at 90%, it’s probably due to a problem during the graphics initialization phase.
Try this and see if it works:
- Update your GPU drivers from the official website.
- Force UEFN to use DirectX 11
If that doesn’t work, try deleting the following folders inside Saved Folder (C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved)
- Config
- Crashes
- Logs
Hope it helps!
I think if I had done it before
How do I do the first 2, I have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Here you have the LOG in case you see something strange or what might be wrong
To update the drivers you have to go to the official nvdia website and with the app you will be able to update your drivers, and to use direct 11 here is the link to epic’s web site

But isn’t this for fortnite?
If you go to your fortnite projects folder in user/documents, move the project folder of the last project you were working on to somewhere else, when you launch the editor it won’t be able to auto load the last project.
restore your last working snapshot
Are you using onedrive? it can corrupt project files
Yes
Move your whole fortnite projects folder to a new location thats not in the onedrive user backup, like C:\Fortnite Projects
keep the last project you opened in a seperate place like C:\somename because its crashing the editor and has to stay out of the fortnite projects folder in its current state
you will either have to restore the last snapshot or make a new project, then copy any content over from the backup in C:\somename, but you don’t want to copy it all just the UASSETs, which you can copy and paste into the editor viewport, select them by date modified if you only need to copy over the latest changes. And check-in changes lots in case a copy/paste crashes or breaks something and you can restore the last snapshot.
open UEFN and if it doesn’t crash, start a new map then go to the editor preferences and add the new project folder location C:\Fortnite Projects to Project Folders
I don’t have any project
I’m sorry I misunderstood.
