UE5+ causes crashes just for loading a Normal Map

Hi @Immersive-Games

Knowing that you’ve tested it in both different systems and get the same results shows that is probably a compatibility issue or hardware setup, could also be missing drivers.

  • Have you tried updating your OS and GPU Drivers?

  • Have you tried switching between DirectX 11, DirectX12 and Vulkan? Make sure your hardware supports DX12 or Vulkan

  • Have you tried Lowering the graphics settings even further, disabling Nanite and Lumen?

  • Even though your system have enough RAM it could be that you’re running out of virtual memory, Try increasing it.

  • If your Disk drive is almost at full capacity, it can cause Unreal to crash since it won’t find space for cache and temporary files.

  • Are you doing your tests on a fresh new project? If not some files could be corrupted from the other project.

  • Try using an older version of Unreal since newer versions may have more bugs

  • Disable antivirus. Sometimes real time protection software can cause crashes during asset import

Let me know if any of these helps.
