For whatever reason, every time I create a new VR Project for Unreal Engine 5.2.1, Unreal Engine crashes. I tried reinstalling the game engine, but it did not fix the issue. Here is the most recent crash report I have.

I also encountered the same problem. The same goes for Ue5.3 version

Greetings @chenge2016 and welcome to the Unreal Engine Forums! Assertion Failed can be a pain sometimes, for sure. There was a thread on this type of error when making a VR Project that I came across where some users had found a solution/work around to the problem. Here’s a [link](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/unreal-engine-5-only-crashes-with-vr-template/521100) to that thread. Check and see if this fixes the issue for you.

Please give it a try. I have preliminarily resolved the issue, but I’m not sure if there will be any other issues
