UE 5.7 crashes on startup

I can’t launch UE 5.7, it crashes on startup every single time, at 10% loading progress. I tried verifying files, uninstalling this version and Epic Launcher with no avail. Older versions work just fine. Crash report:

Fatal error: [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Developer\DerivedDataCache\Private\DerivedDataBackends.cpp] [Line: 208]
Unable to use default cache graph ‘InstalledDerivedDataBackendGraph’ because there are no writable nodes available.Add -DDC-ForceMemoryCache to the command line to bypass this if you need access to the editor settings to fix the cache configuration.

I found this post useful, although it is not a long term solution: Unreal Engine 5.7 Released - #14 by Avytus

After installing the new Unreal Engine 5.7, I immediately wanted to test AI Assistant, but it turned out that I encountered a fundamental problem right from the start, which eliminates the use of this option for millions of users. It’s impossible to copy text generated by AI Assistant and paste it into Google Translate if your English skills aren’t sufficient to understand the content generated by AI Assistant in Unreal Engine 5.7. It looks like this editor will once again be unusable for creating serious, advanced games, and this likely applies to millions of users. Please share your experiences and any problems you encountered. Thank you.

Yes! It finally works, thanks a lot :slight_smile:
