UE5.3.2 Crashing After Visual Bug With Program

Hi there! I’ve only used Unity for game dev before so I am very new to Unreal but am excited to learn.

An issue I’m currently having is that Unreal will crash very soon after I open a new project I create. I’ve tried with different templates and it’s the same problem every time. I think it’s an issue with my GPU but I’ve never had this happen before so I don’t know. What I do know is that the entire program flickers rapidly before crashing, and when I window the program it sometimes creates smaller, distorted sections of the program.

Again, never had this happen before anywhere so forgive me for my lack of understanding.

This is the crash message I get whenever it happens:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000028

I would be happy to provide any additional information needed to help fix this problem.

Thanks!

“NV” usually is code for “NVIDIA”, so make sure all your drivers are up to date.

I checked my drivers and I had the most recent version, so I just reinstalled it and it suddenly started working again. Thank you!
