UE5.6 crashes immediately on startup

Just sharing a quick update on how I solved my problem.

It seems UE 5.6 was trying to install a Visual C++ Redistributable version that wasn’t successful. After downloading and installing it manually from Microsoft my issue was fixed. Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn

d3d11 可以解决虚幻引擎5.6的问题 通常使用d3d12 但是存在问题 所以使用d3d11 简便Unreal Engine的方案就是 Unreal Engine.exe -d3d11 启动

This issue was related to my internet connection. Make sure you’re not using a VPN.

I had the same problem when installing my new graphic card (ASUS PRIME AMD Radeon RX 9070) and it worked for me too.

-d3d11 worked for me too. thanks!

Disable Bink Media Player plugin if it’s enabled.
