UE5.5.4 AMD 7800XT/7900XTX/9070XT Crash Fatal Error

I’ve had reports on my game crashing on startup on certain AMD GPUs with the messgae Fatal Error. I’ve seen other UE5 games discussion boards also reporting the same crash but no solutions.

Has anyone else encountered this crash with one of those AMD GPU and did you ever manage to track down the cause?

Hi,

I’ve started to have this crash after a few minutes of gameplay on Code Vein 2, Wuchang Fallen Feathers and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (although the last one is an UE4 game).

Currently using a 7900 XT with a Ryzen 7 7700X and 32GB (5600 MT/s) so I’m not sure if it’s a spec issue, driver issue or an engine issue (the crashes only occur on UE5 games so far).

I wouldnt even be surprised if a windows update somehow made the engine unstable on RDNA 3 GPUs, but ive done two clean installs of windows and a complete reinstall of the latest drivers (using both the optional 26.2.1 and 26.1.1) and the UE5 games still crash after just a few minutes.
