Unreal Engine crashing with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I hope I’m putting this in the correct location, but I consistently crash while playing games that utilize UE, it typically bounces between 3 different errors like 0xfffffff. I am aware that its a memory issue but I’ve been trouble shooting this for a few weeks and I’m at my wits end, I’m in no way a computer wiz or UE developer so please use layman terms with me but I really need help so I can play my games again.

I’ve reinstalled my graphics driver, reinstalled latest windows update, deleted the UE cache in appdata and I’m just so lost. I hadn’t had this issue before so it has to be something corrupted and I’d hate to have to wipe my PC just to get games working again.

I have an i7 14700k with a 4080 super GPU, I imagine people will need more details so they can help me troubleshoot so please ask and ill do my best to provide!

that’s a pretty generic crash. it could happen for many reasons.

this info would help:

  • is it a laptop?
  • does it has an integrated gpu?
  • are those crashes when you play a game? or when you’re developing with ue?
  • install debug symbols and get the logs. then post them here.
