When ever l launch Unreal Engine 4 l get this fatal error message (Similar error with Squad SDK).

Things l have tried;

  • Complete re-installation of graphics card drivers
  • Complete re-installation of Unreal Engine

Updated Information;

  • Lastest AMD drivers installed, previously installed was 16.12.1 and issue still persisted
  • Re-installation of Direct X
  • The game Squad has zero issue and doesn’t crash
  • Tried Administrative rights

I tried searches for similar issue but couldn’t find anything.

According to this:

You need to update your graphics drivers.

Thanks for your help but l already have the latest AMD drivers installed (Beta) which the previous driver l had was 16.12.1 and the issue still persist.

I should’ve mention that the game itself (Squad) has zero issue and doesn’t crash, It’s just the Editors l am having issue with.

Also just tried reinstalling Direct X and the issue still persist

(Will add all this to main post)

Issue still persist, starting to think that it might be more hardware related not drivers but l don’t have any extra RAM or graphics card laying about to test.

Adding administrative rights to main post

6

Please try to run it with administrative rights.

Unsure what was causing the issue but creating a new windows user profile and launching unreal engine on the new account seems to have fixed the issue on my main windows account.

P.S. not sure where l go to resolve this issue so l’m just going to up-vote this comment

Edit: Can’t up-vote myself
