Hello, I have been having this issue since first version of 4.22 preview, UE4 crashes when opening with the DX12 shortcut, I just tried everything to fix this, but I am not finding a way to fix this.
I do have a fresh windows 10 clean installed and updated
Using lastest Nvidia Creator Drivers with 2080 - 419.67
Deleted all the old ue4 projects but still happening
Reinstalled UE4 and moved to other folders several times
Tried to follow steps from “Unreal-4.22-Ray-Tracing-Overview” but doesn’t seem to fix that
I attached some logs and all the messages that UE4 gives to me, thank you in advance
Hi, I had the same problem for a while now, but found a quick fix for it:
Do you have these or similar programs installed?
MSI Afterburner
RivaTuner Statistics Server (Comes with Afterburner if not unchecked)
After stopping both processes the error message stopped appearing.
Watch out for RivaTuner Statistics Server as it is automatically restarted if MSI Afterburner is still running.
I had the same problem and yes i had both softwares installed and open, by closing these two applications the engine worked good, Thanks a lot for the solution i could never figure it out by myself
I don’t know exactly what causes this problem, which is why I can’t give you a certain answer. But look at the programs running on your computer. Look for programs that hook into other applications, or programs that have overlays. Also check that your video drivers are up to date.
I only found out it was Afterburner because I had problems with the software before. I had blackscreens playing certain games for example. Problems like that can give you a hint to what it is.
