#Why does this game keep crashing? I keep getting unreal engine 4 crashes.

My ue4 crashes magically stopped when switched full window to windowed mode and dropped resolution

Well, giving a bit more information than just "the game keeps crashing" could be helpful.
Like, show the actual crash report.
Because that info in the report might help in actually finding out what's wrong.

Also, is is the same crash all the time? Or are we talking about different crashes?
Again, a bit more info like the actual crash report would be needed to answer that question...

Thank you for your response. I launched the game using dx12 and that seems to have fixed the issue.

Glad you managed to get the game up and running 🙂

DX12 might have decreased performance, compared to DX11 though.
But since it's running in DX12, and it was not running in DX11, the issue might have been as easy as a driver, or a Windows Update got installed that messes with DirectX...

I tried updating drivers, windows etc. No luck. DX12 seems like it was my only fix. Very aggravating for sure. I have yet to figure out why I get such a low FPS in this game. I have a Ryzen 9, 64 gigs of ram and a 3070 and still get 20fps quite a bit. It runs great when its up at 200 FPS, but 20 stinks to high heaven.

The game is better optimized for NVIDIA (they work quite close with NVIDIA).
Not so much for AMD.

Player light shadows should be disabled for AMD.
And try to stay away from open fires, as that generally tanks your framerate as well.
One of my friends uses an AMD, and he has way more issues than the rest of the group (who all play with NVIDIA)...

8 crashes so far, all different errors. I spawned twice in the sky like I was in a dropship, but no dropship lol. Lost my stuff because it was buried in the ground lol.

I assume you always send the crash report using one of the two buttons bottom right?
As that sends the crash and additional logging towards RW.

Additionally, I assume you've done things like monitoring your CPU & GPU temperatures? -> This for making sure thermal issues aren't the cause of the crashes
And started out with low graphics (also texture pool size set to 1k) and work your way up from there? -> This to see if you can get your fps to an acceptable level whilst still being able to enjoy the game graphics-wise

Keep in mind this channel is for players by players.
We aren't affiliated to RW in any way.
So whilst posting the crash reports here might help players trying to figure out what the problem is; if you don't send the crash reports using one of the two buttons on the bottom right of the crash report, RW doesn't get any info.
Just sayin'...
