Unreal engine launch crash

I just downloaded Unreal Engine but every time I try to launch it I get this error, “GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed.

Use -d3ddebug to enable the D3D debug device. Check log for GPU state information.”

I need a bit of help.

This error message is indicating that there is a problem with your GPU (Graphics Card) and that it has crashed or been removed. There are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:

  • Make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Go to the website of your GPU manufacturer (such as NVIDIA or AMD) and download the latest driver for your specific GPU model.
  • Try running the Unreal Engine editor with the -d3ddebug flag. This will enable the D3D debug device and may provide additional information about the issue in the log files.
  • Try running the Unreal Engine editor in windowed mode. This can be done by adding -windowed to the editor’s command line arguments.
  • Try reducing the resolution and settings of your game, as this can help reduce the load on your GPU.
  • If the problem persists, you may want to try disabling any GPU-intensive features or plug-ins that you have installed, as they may be causing the issue.
  • If none of the above solutions worked, your GPU could be malfunctioning and may need to be replaced.

Please note that the above solutions are general troubleshoot steps and may not be specific to your problem. I also recommend checking the hardware and software specifications.
