Hello,

probably is a stupid question, but why can I not acces this page?

I get this message, with all websites that start with: https://answers.unrealengine.com
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /questions/910211/dx12-mode-makes-editor-crash.html on this server.

Thank you!

Not a stupid question. And often, I can trace it to a common backend problem which causes it… but in your case, I don’t see anything wrong on the backend.

When nothing is obvious, I tend to suspect issues with browser cache/cookies. Try any/all of these:

  • Log out of your account and check
  • log out & into your account and check
  • try on a different browser, or Chrome incognito mode, or on a mobile phone
  • Clear your browser’s cache and cookies (optionally, just clear it for https://answers.unrealengine.com)

Is Firefox using an ad-blocker which may be having an impact?

Sorry for necroing this thread, but this is what comes up on google for this issue so I thought I’d leave this here for posterity.

Looks like I can’t access answers.unrealengine.com if I have my VPN on (or atleast using some of the IPs. I didn’t try many).
AnswerHub probably has some strict flooding rules regarding lots of requests from the same IP or just has blacklisted some VPN IPs.

So to any people having a problem accessing the site using a VPN or other shared IP, try a different IP if possible.
