    Some games on Unreal Engine are crashing


    Hi,For some reason when I start games developed on Unreal Engine they can crash when I start them or when I am playing and in the middle of something. When they crash my screen goes black, couple seconds after I am getting the below message one of the example from one game. or it can be different like 'The UE-NAME OF GAME has crashed... FATAL ERROR!'.After these messages my NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 is not responding. The fan is working and doesn't calm down, the temperature of GPU is stuck on one level for example, 80 degrees, but according to Task Manager it doesn't work as shows 0%. NVIDI

    kernell32/ntdll error playing Unreal Engine games

    Hi - thank you for responding.

    I'm not sure what you mean. I don't exactly have unreal engine installed (I don't think).... I'm simply playing games built with Unreal Engine. I looked in my C drive and there was no C:/buildWork directory. Any other suggestions?

    Some games on Unreal Engine are crashing

    Unreal Engine 4 games not working on my Windows PC.

    Hello Archie. I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

    2) If none of those help you can try these general fixes for Games crashing in Windows 11: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    3) And if nothing here helps I would ask in the Unreal Games forums:
