Everytime I try to open UE4 it’ll give me this error.

Even though it’ll be open like this.

Any help is appreciated!

This is highly unlikely to be related to the UE4 editor. You did not include any details about your system; from what we know, you might be running this on a potato. Assuming you’re not, these could be potential culprits:

  • this is not a DX11 card or is an integrated card
  • you’re running old / beta drivers
  • unstable overclock on the GPU or any overclock on the GPU
  • you’re running Windows 7 or Windows that has not been fully updated

Can you comment on any of the above?

My drivers are updated and i don’t have an unstable GPU

Well. You need a quad core CPU, min 8GB of RAM and a dedicated video card… You have none of that.

While I’m surprised you managed to run the editor in the first place, do not expect to run it comfortably or reliably - this is a purely hardware related issue. You computer simply does not cut it.

Did you seriously manage to run UE4 on an Atom?! Kudos.
