#UE5 CRASH #UE5 Unreal Engine 5 Crash, crash, crash.... Please helpe-me

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 “WindowsTargetSettings” 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
