UE5x Crashing Sequencer Menu UI, Update Nvidia Driver, Breadcrumbs RHIThread, D3D12Core

Hi Folks
I got a big scare now, when I updated the Nvidia Driver 527.56 Driver Studio 2022.12.08 to 528.02 Driver Studio 2023.01.05 I immediately started having problems opening the Sequencer, and for example, changing the time from frame to seconds it does cause the Crash.

I saw solutions to reset the global settings in the Nvidia Panel (it didn’t work) and to put the editor to initialize with -d3d11 (it worked, my focus was rendering with d3d12, so it wasn’t useful for me).

Both 5.03 and 5.1.
I downgraded to 527.56 Driver Studio 2022.12.08 with a clean install and everything was back to normal.

How to solve this problem? Is Nvidia to blame?
I don’t want to be stuck with updates.
Here are the dumps for 5.03 and 5.1.

Not work


1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel
2. Go to “Manage 3D settings”
3. Find the “Restore Defaults” in the upper right corner of the control panel
4. Click it and you will get a pop-up and click yes on it.

Same, just today I had the idea to downgrade Nvidia drivers to the same you have. Will wait for patches from either Epic or Nvidia I guess.
My game would just crash (editor) each and every time I tried to boot into it. Although a sample 3rd person project worked just fine.

I’ll wait for the new driver update from Nvidia.
(But I have version 527.56 Driver Studio 2022.12.08 here, in case of an error again)

I keep crashing when I navigate Menu UI. I have Nvidia 4080TI.
I’m using UE5.1, Nvidia Driver 535.98 Game, Windows 11 Home 22H2.
I tried the Studio driver version as well. No difference.

I uninstalled / reinstalled.
I’ve set the Nvidia control panel to use Nvidia only. I’ve restored settings. nothing works…
At this point, It crashes every time I use a menu and cannot continue work :frowning:

Any ideas??
