Hey i’ve been trying to use unreal engine after lastest update and it seems to be crashing everytime i use it. Im just wondering if theres an error because i need to get back to making games. My computer is brand new and is 1 TB with a 12 GB Ram. it was working before now not so much please tell me if theirs anything i can do,
Hi ,
When does it crash, exactly? Are you able to open Project Browser? Does it only crash with one project, or with new projects as well?
Please post your full system specs here, either from dxdiag for windows or from About This Mac in OSX. Thanks!
Yes im able to open project folder but when I try to use Landscape system or Fooliage System it seems to crash at that point
sorry i sent wrong spec here direct x version
Does it only crash with Landscape Mountains project? If you create a new project, will that also crash?
Next time it crashes, copy information in Crash Reporter window and paste it here in a response. Then go to folder for project and get crash log from the \Saved\Logs folder. Just grab most recent log after crash, it up, and attach it here. Thanks!
I need to turn on crash tracker because it’s not logging crashes and yes it seems to do it everytime I put in a material on Landscape and Foliage system
I think I have same problem as another user if I try uninstalling recent update and reinstalling do you think that would work
crash logs are saved automatically, you should not have to turn on any crash tracking software to get them. They are in folder filepath \Unreal Projects\PROJECTNAME\saved\logs. We cannot know if uninstalling and reinstalling would be a viable solution without first understanding what is going on and why engine is crashing in first place.
I just tried landscape tool again and this time it’s working but it’s moving very slowly it’s compiling shaders and starting to work again maybe it was just me being impatient but it seems to work now just at a slower pace.
And when I look at logs it doesn’t even show a crash log but when I open task manager it says that’s
It’s not responding
try setting your engine scalability settings to low or medium by going to Settings>Engine Scalability Settings. See if reducing this helps with time.
Ok I did that and it works a bit faster but I have a question when I export it can I Chang it back to high def settings

scalability settings you use are entirely dependent on your computer hardware and hardware you are building for.
It still goes slow when I use landscaping is there perhaps a way I can reduce slow on it landscape is for 7x7 quads and fill is 1024
Even on low scalability settings, with hardware you have editor is potentially going to continue to slow down during heavy activities such as using landscapes or rendering lighting. There isn’t much more that you can do in editor to increase speed and, because hardware you are using is below our minimum recommended specs, we cannot guarantee that editor will run or run smoothly on your machine.
