FN Festival Crashes (every time)

Issue:
Festival crashes on my PC every time I attempt to start into a "game".
So far all attempts to play Festival ended in crashes at pretty much the same part, which is after selecting a song and starting a "match", my character coming onto the stage and some cinematics start to play. Then screen freezes, FN game crashes as a whole, and Athena Crash Reporter shows up. Usually I kill the app from Task Manager to not to wait longer, but for capturing the issue I waited till that Athena dialog window pops up. So far I couldn't play a single second the new FN Festival and I don't know how to accomplish the quests as well as how shall I consider to buy the Festival Pass like that.

I'm generally suspecting a technical issue of UE5 engine / game coding in conjunction with Intel integrated graphics (iGPU).

Explain how to reproduce:

    1. Select Festival main mode
    1. Go to the place to select any song
    1. Start it
    1. Crash

Platform and Render Mode:
(the GPU, which is integrated graphics is above min requirements; the other hardware specs are even above recommended system settings compared to the info found on Fortnite homepage)

  • Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.3758
  • Intel UHD Graphics 630 (driver version 31.0.101.2125 (latest available))
  • 32 GB RAM, all installed on SSD, Intel Core i7-8700B 3.2Ghz 6 cores / 12 threads
  • this Windows PC is set up and solely used for Fortnite gaming (apart from RL and Fall Guys when there were challenges in FN context)
  • render mode: performance mode
  • 1920x1080 resolution

Evidence:
attached a video clip. parts in the clip are speed up to reduce watching time.
clip was recorded with OBS (normally OBS is not running).
player names are hidden for privacy reasons.

I can confirm this happens on my end too, however on my system it crashes after playing a couple songs and then trying to Alt+Tab on the intro of the song

It looks like your system quite literally can't handle fortnite, how you can play with that frame rate and those graphics are beyond me, is this with just festival or does it happen in rocket and battle royale too

yeah integrated graphics are never good for most games even on the lowest settings
