Hi, every time I launch Tekken 8, i receive this fatal error message. (i have also tried other UE5 games such as Layers of Fear with no success).
The problem started today after I installed my new graphics card RTX 4070. I first ran DDU in safe mode to wipe all AMD drivers, then physically installed the new GPU with the newest drivers available.
Here are the things I have tried:
- Windows Safe Mode DDU Reinstalled Nvidia drivers again
- Ran the game with Windows 8 Windows 7 compatibility mode
- Ran as admin (both the Tekken 8 and Polaris files)
- Verified file integrity on steam
- Applied -sm5 -dx12 in the Steam game properties launch options
- Reinstalled the game
- Reinstalled Windows (keep data)
- Disabled all overlays (steam, discord, nvidia)
- Removed GPU undervolt/overclock
- Set GPU as default in Nvidia Control Panel
- Deleted Tekken 8 Cache from %Appdata%
- Deleted temp files
- Tried using only 1 monitor instead of 2
- Updated BIOS
- Disabled Hyperthreading in BIOS
- Disabled Virtualization in BIOS
- Installed various C++ files
(vcredist2015, 2013, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2005, x86 & x64) - Reinstalled DirectX
- Turned on and off Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (in Windows display settings)
- Turned on and off Optimisations for windowed games (in Windows display settings)
- Set up TdrDelay in the registry editor (tried set to 0, set to 10, tried deleting it)
I am unable to get through the loading screen for more than 5 seconds before the game crashes, so I haven’t been able to set the game to borderless or windowed mode.
I have spent over four hours restarting my computer more than 30 times.
It makes me very sad that I bought a new graphics card, only to find that I will never be able to play an Unreal Engine 5 game ![]()
