UE5 keeps crashing on startup. It wasn’t like this at first and I’ve tried everything from changing from DX12 to DX11 in the log files, setting TdiDelay value to 10 and everything on Youtube but it doesn’t work.
GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed.
You may need to update your graphics driver.
If your graphics driver is up to date, you can try rolling it back to a previous driver to see if that works. It’s stating specifically that your graphics driver is the issue!
If you are having issues GPU driver issues…I would recommend trying some older Nvidia drivers. Try 552.44 (or even better 551.86) as apparently anything past 552.44 has had some change happen inside the driver that has been affecting some people…including myself.
Also, what version of UE5 are you using? UE5.4.4 has a tonne of bugs that haven’t been addressed or acknowledged yet. UE5.2.1 seems to be the best and more performant/stable than newer versions…although if UE5.4.4 wasn’t so buggy, I actually gained about 20% performance in 4k…but it’s currently unusable for me for now due to endless crashes and video card glitches.
@KingDalico without knowing your system specs…it is impossible to help beyond what is already been said in the thread. Posting your system build details, Windows version, UE5 engine version…etc… is the only way anyone will be able to assist beyond this point.
As you are using a laptop…it may be that it doesn’t meet UE5 standards. Memory requirements, processor type (is it AMD?) will play a part in whether UE5 will run or not on your laptop.
