UE5 crashing in 3rd person project

Hi everyone,

I am new to UE5 and currently use UE4. When I start a 3rd person project in UE5 and click “play” the editor crashes. I reported the bug but maybe someone knows why this is happening. I do not even edit anything on the project and just try to launch it, and it crashes instantly. Is there some plugin that I need to enable or disable first? I am currently trying to do a UE5 course and I would prefer having the application run so I can complete the coursework.

Thank you in advance!

This is what worked for me-> Open your project then settings>engine scalability settings> then change the quality from Epic to High, Medium, or Low. Cinematic crashed without pressing play on my system.
