No matter what I do, it freezes; this wasn’t the case in previous versions.

Auto save → freezes (I disabled autosave for this reason)
Waiting skinned assets → freezes (i see this a lot)

Preparing textures → freezes

If i launch the editor, then wait, then press to play → freezes
If I save a file → freezes
Do you have same problem?

Try using the “Verify” option for UE 5.7.

This option checks the integrity of the engine files. The launcher compares your installation with Epic’s official version and automatically re-downloads any files that are corrupted, incomplete, or damaged.

Steps to verify

  1. Close Unreal Engine completely
  2. Open the Epic Games Launcher
  3. Go to the Library tab
  4. On Unreal Engine 5.7.2, click the three dots
  5. Select Verify
  6. Wait for the process to finish

If the issue still happens after this, try creating a new empty project and see if it also freezes.

  • If it also happens in a new project, the problem is likely external to the project, such as your GPU drivers. In that case, it may help to roll back to a previous, more stable driver version, especially if the issue started after updating your drivers.
  • If it does not happen in a new project, then the issue is probably related to a specific asset, shader, or corrupted cache in the original project.

Hope it helps!
