I have the same problem. Massive shame as I just was finally able to diagnose that the GPU drivers for the Gigabyte 4070 Super cards are actually broken on all UE5 games, and especially on Fortnite.

Software RT/Hardware RT:
[“An error occurred: Sorry, new users can only put one embedded media item in a post.”]

Yes. These are different screenshots, with different settings. Hardware RT is just completely broken. :confused:
