Hi ! It’s not working for me. UE is launching only whithout Bridge in the Plug-in. Any idea what else I could do ? Edit : Ok, I found a way → I actually needed to reinstall Bridge via the vault on Epic. Thx anyway for pointing out the fact that it was Bridge’s fault. ---

Same issue, but mine never worked from the moment I downloaded UE5. I verified the UE5 files and, no luck, still crashes. This is a shame, I never used UE and wanted to get into game development with the recent release. If anyone has an idea of how to fix, let me know. ---

I had a similar problem: couldn’t even load a new project with UE5. I realized that when I open a project first with UE 4.27 I can open it with UE5 and upgrade it. ---

Hi guys, I had the same issues but not in UE 5 **BUT** I wont be here if something worked for me! 😃 I tested a bit by dropping one Folder by another out of the Project. The corrupt Folder at the end was “Intermediate” you can find it in “Unreal Projects - Your Project - Intermediate”. Drop it on the desktop or save it else were. I hope it works for you guys. See ya ---
