Hello everyone.
Yesterday I decided to switch to Unreal from Unity for a couple of reasons, so I downloaded Unreal Engine 4.10 and went to sleep.
Today I started Unreal to look around and start learning, I started the FPS blueprint project and looked around and everything worked perfectly, but when I pressed play it crashed, but not directly!
It crashed after exiting the playmode and then re-entering, or it could crash if I pressed (F11) for fullscreen. It was basicly all random.
And to te be extra specific: Unreal didn’t crash. The video driver did!
I have a: 4096MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 380 Series.
It has never crashed before due to a game or even Unity. I even tried to look for answers, and I couldn’t find anything that helped.
I had a ton of issues with my AMD card so I ditch it for an nVidia. The issue was just like what is happening to you…driver crashes. Now, this was like 4 months ago and I know there has been several AMD driver updates, are you running the latest version? Also, check out these threads for more information:
My issues was with the R9 380. I grabbed my son’s R9 280 and it worked fine… but, the screen would blink unless I forced the AMD card into high performance mode. I simply couldn’t take all of the issues with AMD cards, so I switched. Maybe I have been unlucky… No issues whatsoever with nVidia.
Not the best welcome to the Unreal Engine, but stick with it, its an amazing engine!
