Hello there @User-b7b5b8358e !
The key factor in your crash screen is the" Failed to load special material" line. This means that UE tried to open one of it’s built-in materials ( in this case, “TextureColorView…”), failed to do so due a corrupted or invalid element, then crashed.
So, the first step would be to fix the corruption. Select your UE install in the Library, right click on it, and apply “Verify”, which shold restore any missing assets, and repair corrupted elements.
If the issue persists after the verification, we need to clear UE’s cached data. To do so, delete the following folders from your local data and UE’s directory:
...AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\Common\DerivedDataCache
...AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.6\Saved\Config\Windows
...AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.6\Saved\Logs
<your UE Install Folder>\Engine\DerivedDataCache
<your UE Install Folder>\Engine\Saved
You can also perform a clean install of your GPU drivers, then install the latest version of the Developer drivers. Hope this helps, and good luck!
