Hi, need some help with setting up Unreal engine on a new machine.
At the moment Unreal crashes my whole system as soon as I load “any” project, I have tried re-installing the engine, updating the drivers and everything I could find, and still it doesn’t work.
Crash reporter also freezes and I can’t even send a ticket.
Pls help, any info would be helpful.
Here is the error from a log file:
[2021.02.08-11.42.02:178][534]LogD3D11RHI: Timed out while waiting for GPU to catch up. (0.5 s) (ErrorCode 00000001)
I had this issue when I first installed UE4 and was also stumped…
Turned out I had Game drivers installed in Nvidia GeForce experience instead of studio drivers optimized to handle this program. I had no idea these even existed until I had this problem. (In GeForce Experience, click on drivers then the three dots in the top right and select studio drivers. It will take a while if you don’t have these installed already)
Also, Epic Launcher DOESN’T notify you if an update is available for the UE4 which caused me to get this issue a week later…
Hope this helps
Edit: People have said in other posts that reverting to Nvidia update 460.89 solved this issue, you have to download from their website. I have UE4.26.1 installed and just noticed you are using 4.25
Thank you Puma for the input,
unfortunately I already have Studio drivers and that didn’t help with my issue, I have tried multiple things already with no success, also tried UE 26.1.
However I didn’t try reverting to 460, so I will make sure to try that over the weekend and update this post if it helps.
