Greetings @Blackcthulu

Welcome to the Unreal Engine Community Forums! In regards to the crashes that you’re getting, is this occurring in multiple UE versions or just one? Also, have you tried taking the project and moving it over to a new/blank project and test it from there? If not, this is where I’d recommend starting. If it doesn’t resolve the problem, respond here. I’ll monitor the thread. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply, I am currently using UE 5.2.1, I’ve tried to migrate all the folders to a new project in the same version and it still crashed, i got the same error. I tried to render a cinematic in a completely different project that i had, to see if it happened in other projects and it did work. So with these tests I assume that it has something to do with that specific project file or assets, because interestingly enough i get the same error when I press the play button to play the level/scene, and again this only happes in this specific project. Where can I go frome here?

This may sound like an odd solution. But, I’ve worked with this type of error before and it’s usually tied to something with the GPU or it’s drivers. I’d start by resetting your GPU Global Graphics Presets to Default (Specifically NVidia Control Panel) and then test it again.

I tried exactly that, but unfortunately it dind’t work. Would the crash logs help? to see if there is a specific error happening? I tried looking through them but as i’ve said before I’m new to this so to be honest I’m not sure what im looking at.

These are the logs from the crash.
