Need help!
My UE5 has been bugged for several days.

I receive the following error message:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000018

Hi @Dimi2017

These errors are Nvidia Graphics card errors. Please run the NVidia Driver update program to get the latest drivers at least 421.*

But I updated my video card driver to the latest version, and the problem still persists.

Hello Dimi,

Does changing:

Project Settings ā†’ Default RHI from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11 resolve this?

Unfortunately UE5 crashes before I can change the configuration. Maybe I have to buy another model of video card.
Thank you

I have the sameā€¦

if the engine is bugged, uninstall and reinstall?
a new update came out this morning as well so may as well get a clean install.

Hello again @Dimi2017

Since itā€™s crashing on launch you could try changing the setting by opening your Config/DefaultEngine.ini and changing ā€˜DefaultGraphicsRHIā€™ there.

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11

Hope that helps!

Hello hello there! If you havenā€™t gotten it fixed yet the following might work (at least worked for me) :

  1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel

  2. Go to ā€œManage 3D settingsā€

  3. Find the ā€œRestore Defaultsā€ in the upper right corner of the control panel

  4. Click it and you will get a pop-up and click yes on it.

PLEASE I NEED HELP!
what am i doing wrong? I am just starting with Unreal and when trying to open a new blank c++ project this error pops up:

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

Does someone know what this is about?

but isnā€™t this a temporary fix? if nvidia/unreal fix the bug in their next updates, wouldnā€™t we have to revert this?

14

Hi Michael,

YES. This is very much a temporary solution and should certainly be changed back to DirectX 12 once a fix is made. (Iā€™d try re-enabling it every time a new version/hotfix for Unreal is released and every time you update GPU drivers)

This error was only coming up when I was using my 2nd screen. In the Nvidia control panel, when I checked the unreal related exes, I saw that all of them had integrated graphics cards selected. When I made all of them nvidia video cards, the problem went away.

Sorry, i have the same problem, but i canā€™t start a new project so i canā€™t find Config/DefaultEngine. Can you tell me where i can find it?

Hi @BestiaSuprema,
You need to change the Base system on startup then
go
notepad C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Config\BaseEngine.ini
Control+F find ā€œWindowsTargetSettingsā€ at line 2874

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
+D3D12TargetedShaderFormats=PCD3D_SM5
+D3D11TargetedShaderFormats=PCD3D_SM5
bEnableDistanceFields=true
bEnableRayTracing=true
bTarget32Bit=false

Add the line

DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11

so this looks like

[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings]
DefaultGraphicsRHI=DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11

Save the file on closing notepad and restart UE Editor.
You system now uses DefaultGraphicsRHI_DX11

If this does not work you have a differrent problem and you need to start another thread as this one is resolved
The new Projects setting need to be updated to fix SM6 for Nanite error message in the post

I updated the Nvidia driver. Still keeps crashing.
I reset the Nvidia control panel to default, then select Nvidia.
No pop-up, or crashes.
Niceļ¼
