Hi there, I’ve just updated my unreal from 4.13.0 to 4.13.2 and now my unreal crashes even with a new project without the content start… Just click the mouse and then crash! I can’t use the engine anymore, please help!

I’ve already:

  1. Updated my nvidia driver
  2. Uninstall, delete and install the 4.13.2
  3. Restart the machine

I really don’t know why this is happening!

Thank you!

The error I got is this:

Access violation - code c0000005 (first/second chance not available)

Hi Keiii,

You are getting this crash: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-40773)

This AnswerHub has a ton of workarounds (some more difficult and advanced than others): Unreal Engine 4.14.1 Display Driver Crash With New Project - Pipeline & Plugins - Epic Developer Community Forums

If you want a quick and easy workaround that seemed to help a lot of people follow the following.

Open the editor, open the Content Browser, select View Options (eye icon bottom right), and uncheck Real-Time Thumbnails. Source: here Thank You: IronicParadox
