Hi luizelias, Although we cannot be certain, an upgraded video card is very likely to help you out. Especially if you get past the Launcher and into the actual editor, since you would probably find it very difficult to use with your current hardware. Here is some information for hardware that we recommend to develop with: > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official... Out of curiosity, you may want to try running the Launcher in OpenGL mode to see if that bypasses the crash. You can do this by right-clicking the desktop shortcut, choosing Properties, and at the very end of the Target path, adding: -opengl Let us know the results if you try this. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/unrealenginelauncher-has-stopped-working/288905)._
