UE5 lagging when opening right click menu

It sounds like there might be an issue with your Unreal Engine 5 installation or settings. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

  1. Update Graphics Drivers**: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause performance issues and crashes.

  2. Check System Requirements**: Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for Unreal Engine 5. Insufficient hardware could lead to performance issues.

  3. Verify Unreal Engine Installation**: Use the Epic Games Launcher to verify the installation of Unreal Engine 5. Sometimes files can become corrupted during download or installation, leading to issues.

  4. Reset Unreal Engine Preferences**: You can try resetting Unreal Engine’s preferences to default settings. To do this, navigate to %APPDATA%\Unreal Engine and delete the 4.27 folder (or the corresponding version folder if you’re using a different version).

  5. Disable Plugins**: If you have any third-party plugins installed, try disabling them temporarily to see if they are causing the issue.

  6. Check for Software Conflicts**: Certain software running in the background could conflict with Unreal Engine. Try closing any unnecessary applications or running Unreal Engine in a clean boot environment to rule out conflicts.

  7. Monitor Resource Usage**: Use task manager or a similar tool to monitor CPU, GPU, and memory usage while using Unreal Engine. This can help identify if resource usage is spiking when you right-click.

  8. Report the Issue**: If the problem persists, consider reporting the issue to Unreal Engine’s support or forums. They may be able to provide more specific guidance or identify if it’s a known issue.
