Hey there,

I was trying to change to Opengl instead of vulkan due to the memory issues. However I got this warning of opengl is no loner supported for desktop platforms.

Unreal Enginde 4 won’t let you use OpenGL, I tried it to and it crashed UE4.

Memory issues can be because of codes and/ opr Blueprints or it can be an outdated driver for it can be a bad hardware.

The unreal Engine work fine with intel driver but when I use Nvidia driver it just crashed. The driver is new, i just updated a few days ago. Probably just because of my hardware is sucks.
