I recently installed the GASP(UE 5.4) plugin and began working with it. However, today when I opened my project, I encountered the following error:
Unreal Engine Project Crashes with “EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000008”
After deleting the Intermediate, Saved, Config, and Binaries folders, my project opened, but the GASP level was erased. When I attempt to open the level from the Content Browser, the editor crashes again with the same error.
I’ve tried resetting the NVIDIA Control Panel settings to default, as some users have suggested, but the issue persists. Additionally, I’ve ensured that the project is set to use DX11 instead of DX12, but that hasn’t resolved the problem either.
I would appreciate any assistance or suggestions on how to recover the GASP level or resolve this crash.
The error you encountered has been seen in other community threads, it’s usually tied to missing/corrupt data, or GPU conflicts. A full crash log from your projects should have a more specific error (usually at Saved/Logs/YourProject.log), which can be found following the guide below:
Still, we can tackle some options for resolution:
As a first step, to rule out pre-existing elements on your system, since you already reseted nVidia panels, please update your OS to the latest version, and update your video drivers to the Developer version (pick the “Clean Install” option if available)
Ensure that the GASP plugin version you are using is compatible with your current UE build
Isolate the affected level, or even migrate it to a clean project, to check for the crash (make a backup first)
Disable GASP, and attempt to reload the level, then re-enable the plugin
Since you already deleted folders Intermediate, Saved, Config, and Binaries, add DerivedDataCache to the deletion
If none of these options work, please send the full crash log, and we can continue investigating
