BASE : Arch Linux
KERNEL : 7.1.0-rc7-1-mainline
DRIVERS : Mesa 26.1.2-arch1.1

CPU : R5 9600x
I downloaded Unreal Engine from https://www.unrealengine.com/linux and tested both 5.7.4 and 5.8.0 Preview.
With both versions, the editor either freezes or crashes shortly after opening, with no error message displayed.
On Wayland, Unreal Engine crashes 100% of the time when I click “Select Project to Open”.
On X11, the editor will open and I can sometimes access menus such as the Plugins panel, but it eventually freezes. Pressing Play causes an immediate freeze every time.
I open the engine via konsole, and also tried just executing it straight.
Fixes I attempted :
- Updating Mesa / Vulkan
- Updating Kernel
- some stuff other people have tried, can’t remember will update this post when i find it.
