Unreal Engine crashing while loading a project after installing new drivers

[y_wyverns]

Unreal crashing while loading my project. This started right after I installed AMD adrenaline to fix a problem where my GPU would go to 100% on simple tasks and lag hard. Please may I have some help?

GPU Crash dump Triggered

ntdll

It also happens on new projects aswell.

Hello there @y_wyverns!

Checking around the community, this error you are getting aims at the engine losing connection with your GPU, most likely due a driver mismatch, or the Adrenaline software you just installed.

If you wish to test keeping this setup, I would suggest switching to DX11 (you can add the tag -dx11 in your project’s properties to do so), and reload the whole thing.

Yet, if the problem persists, then the best course of action would be to rollback or clean up your drivers. You can use a free uninstaller like DDU, then install a previous version of the drivers. Also, I have seen a lot of cases where graphical overlays cause conflicts, I would avoid them, if possible.

Finally, after all these changes, you should clear your project’s cache just in case. Please navigate to your main directory, and delete folders DerivedDataCache, Intermediate, and Saved. After that, restart UE, and allow it to rebuild.

Did you install RTSS Rivatuner Statistics Server in your machine?

If yes, here is the fix:

1. Open Rivatuner
2. Click on the green “Add” button on the bottom left
3. Navigate to the Unreal folder, such as “Engine\Binaries\Win64” and select the UnrealEditor.exe
