Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x00007ffa40001ac0

just installed unreal engine on my Lenovo ThinkPad and every time I launch the engine it keeps crashing( I have an i5 core and 8 gigs of ram) someone please help me thanks.

I think it may be your machine is not up to it.

Here’s the official spec

It doesn’t specifically mention the GPU there, but you need at least 8GB VRAM also.

And that’s just to open a default project. If you’ve downloaded the city sample or similar, you would need a lot more…

you can try with older versions of unreal. UE4.7 is a great engine to develop on.
