Landscape mode will immediately freeze Unreal Engine 5.5.1 (Mac M4)

Development World Creation

Hello, I am new here (as shown by the fact that I deleted my question just now and had to re-post it). I installed Unreal Engine 5.5.1 on my very newish MacbookPro (M4), and I cannot even make it beyond 5 minutes in my tutorial, because as soon as I go to Landscape, the program feezes! I saw some others having similar issues on the forum, but no solution. I am not overly tech savvy, so I fear I won’t be able to use this software unless I get some idea what to do. Can anybody help, please? I have done re-install (and have also seen “clear Unreal cache” somewhere, but there is nothing in there). Thank you!

Edit: this problem only happens in Games/Blank. If I select Games/First or Third person, the Landscape mode works without a problem.

Same here in third person project with world partition, removing saved, intermediate, ddc doesn’t help

I think I found a stable workaround that worked for me with world partition:

  1. in world partition minimap unload all loaded regions
  2. select a reasonable sized portion of the landscape you wish to edit and load that
  3. switch to landscape mode
