So after downloading ue version 5.1 on opening it starts to open at 0% but then I get the message ‘gpu crashed or d3d device removed’. I use intel hd 4400 graphics card on pc (win10). Need help, i can’t even open the editor
Hey there @Advikm12! Welcome to the community!
So the integrated graphics card you mentioned is well below the recommended specs for the engine, so if we can indeed get it to open you will still be very limited on what you can work with.
Even running the engine will be quite tight if we can get it to run. I’d recommend installing UE4.27 or earlier for a less intensive experience for that specific computer. If you are instead still trying to run UE5.1 it will likely be quite slow, in this case, read on!
So this assumes you could open the pre-engine and can create a project before it crashes while trying to open said project.
When creating a project, when you can decide to, set it to scalable settings instead of maximum.
then when the engine crashes, you can go back and open the project file location of the new project you had created.
Then look for config->DefaultEngine.ini
then you need to change a couple of these settings if they differ from what I show.
r.AntiAliasingMethod=0
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11
Then save the file.
Next, update your graphics drivers.
Then, cross your fingers and launch the project you had changed the values for.
If it doesn’t work out then, it’s likely 5.1 will be too heavy for your current rig to use effectively. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
