LogD3D12RHI: Error: Failed to create pipeline state with combined hash.- Crash in editor and packaged builds (Source Build of Engine)

Major_Mints · July 25, 2024, 1:19am

Im using a source build of UE 5.4.3, I just setup baked lighting for my level. Does anyone know why after a minute or so of having the level open, the engine will crash with the following error.

this also occurs in packaged builds for windows and android
(android device is a quest 3)

fatal error: [File:C:\Unreal Engine\UnrealEngine5.4-Source\Engine\Source\Runtime\RHI\Private\PipelineStateCache.cpp] [Line: 419]Shader compilation failures are Fatal.

Ive attempted:

Recompiling the Source build of the engine
Recompiling shaders via console command
deleting project binaries, intermediate, etc. and recompiling the project in visual studio

Edited to add: Relevant lines from Crash Log
edit 2: this occurs in packaged builds too
edit 3: im not using the DLSS plugin but just incase this is a similar issue with hardware, i left a comment (at below link) after attempting the fix below which did not work
[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.NIS.Enable=0

I want to add that switching to DX11 from DX12 made it so i could keep working on my project, although it’s not a solution to the underlying issue, it’s a workaround that made me able to continue for now.

Nikibbles · August 28, 2024, 3:17pm

Curious, have you found a proper solution for this yet? I am getting the exact same error

Choedan · September 27, 2024, 10:00pm

No, so far i’ve just been sticking to DX12

ModernAtomX · October 1, 2024, 8:07pm

I actually was able to fix it in my case by swapping from DX12 to DX11.

It originally ran just fine with DX12, but then it started giving me this issue.

Maybe someone this will be useful to someone with more technical, in depth knowledge of the engine.

We have the same issue, and struggling against it for couple months( after we switched to 5.4 ). No luck.

I’m adding to the chorus here. Not sure when this started but even a fresh first person project in 5.4.4 crashes without even opening, unless I delete or change the defaultengine.ini.

If I delete these lines, I don’t get the crash:
-D3D12TargetedShaderFormats=PCD3D_SM5
+D3D12TargetedShaderFormats=PCD3D_SM6

Or if I change
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX12
to
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11
Then that also works for me.

But this seems like a temporary workaround. Rolling back my Nvidia drivers also didn’t help. But now that I see people had this problem back in July I can see that it seems like not a driver issue.

laserbritches · April 7, 2025, 11:11pm

I have solved this issue in my case. What happened is that even though I was deleting DerivedDataCache folders (project and shared and global), there was nothing actually in those, so I wasn’t actually deleting the shader cache. I’m using 5.4 which now uses the Zen server to cache derived data. I opened the Zen dashboard from the Derived Data menu in the level editor and used the menu option to delete data and restart, and that solved all my weird shader compilation issues I’ve been having recently including this one.
