Unreal engine crashes immediately upon loading. It’s my first time ever using it. I tried reinstalling and that didn’t do anything. I’m using Windows 10.
[crash log][2]
Thanks for any help.
Installed 4.18.3 and verified both versions and that didn’t work either; haven’t been able to load up unreal at all so far.
Also checked for graphics card updates, tried it on a new account, tried reinstalling yet again, etc., still exact same problem.
Looks like you’re using a laptop, correct? If that’s the case, I use a laptop with very similar specs to yours and it works for me. The laptop needs enough power to run UE4, mine will crash if there’s not enough power. So make sure your laptop is plugged in and that your power settings are set to high performance.
If that doesn’t help, make sure your video card is installed properly with the correct drivers. Maybe you can look into stress testing the PC to ensure the graphics card is not malfunctioning. Also in the Nvidia control panel, ensure that you are using your 1050GTX only and not your integrated graphics card.
Finally you have DirectX 12 installed. It looks like your crash might have something to do with DirectX, since the engine is failing loading DX11. You may need to force UE4 to use DirectX 12 to get it running. To do this make a shortcut from this path:
\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe" and then add -DX12 at the end of the shortcut “Target” in the properties of the shortcut, like so:
\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe" -DX12
If you get it loaded, you can change the project settings to use DX12 from then on in you can go to project settings, Target Hardware, Windows and uncheck DX10 and DX11 and it should run on DX12.
Hey guys,
after about 20h of research, windows reinstall and everthing u can imagine, i finally found a solution. in my case, you have to click on the arrow next “start engine” in your library, than go to options. There you have to install “editor Symbols for debugging”, restart your computer and no more crashes. absolutly no idea y that works, but whatever…
Hope that helps anybody =)
Cheers
