My game on UE5 runs normal but when press play I get an error like this and it crashes everytime. Mind you I have the most up to date software for my 3070 rtx 16gb ryzen 7 gaming laptop. Are there any ways to solve this?

Yes, there is a way: fix the nullptr exception in your code or BPs.
Also, as an advice, install the debug symbols - it will make the error stacktrace useful.

Hi there @dcoyo123

Welcome back to the Unreal Engine Forum! If the things Norlin mentioned don’t fix the problem, try swapping to DirectX 11 and testing again. (Also make sure you have the latest VS installed)
