Hey there, I downloaded UE 4.5.0 from GitHub and compiled it succesfully following all the instructions provided on the same page (Direct X, dependables etc.). When I start it by double clicking the “UE4 Editor” in the Win64 file in Binaries, it shows four-five crash reports resulting from an error in ShaderCompilerWorker and a separate crash report (also originating from ShaderCompilerWorker).
Screenshots are attached. I know other people managed to get it running without any problems. Maybe it’s specific to my system. I’ll try a few things on this end in the meantime, but I’d appreciate it if anyone can provide me with some guidance.
Its not only you. I am experiencing the same problem. Everything compiles fine but during launch the UE4-ShaderCompileWorker crashes. I’ve re downloaded everything, recompiled and ran into the same problem again. I always get 5 window popups with the crash report shown above. I have also tried the linked solution with no success.
This is not really a fix, but I did pull the new master branch tonight for 4.5 and rebuilt. It was able to launch without the ShaderCompilerWorker exception and I was able to get my old project to recompile. So far it seems stable.
On GitHub where you select which branch you want, I selected master and under the “Getting up and running” section they have updated links for the source and required dependencies. I haven’t tried forking the master to see if it works.
