This error message suggests that the engine is crashing due to an unhandled exception caused by an access violation when reading address 0x000001e1eca205d0. This is likely caused by a problem with the Nvidia graphics driver or with the game engine itself.

One potential solution is to try updating the Nvidia graphics driver to the latest version. You can do this by going to the Nvidia website and downloading the latest driver for your graphics card.

You could also try to lower the graphics settings in the game if possible, or try to run the game on a different computer to see if the problem is specific to your current setup.

Please let me know if this helped! :slight_smile:

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately, I already had the latest drivers installed, so the next step i did was completely uninstall the drivers using DDU in safe mode without networking, then installing the latest studio drivers. That seems to have fixed the issue.

That’s great! I am glad that I could help! :slight_smile:
