Unreal engine 5.3.2 crashing all of a sudden.

Project has been going smoothly up until this point and all of a sudden it’s been crashing. Even when I’m on a new project it still crashes. I Installed the debugging to get a better understanding but honestly I’m not too well versed in the debugging side of the software. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @9Leash ! I get a very similar crash to you (although you got thru FRDGBuilder).

This is the Render Dependency Graph which is used for low-level rendering features.
I have tried updating graphics card driver & windows to latest, but it did not help.
Having done that, you can definitely send the crash report to Epic since this looks like a UE issue.
You can try to wait for graphics card driver updates, or possibly migrate your project to UE5.4
Good luck!
