How-To

After trying each and every suggestion I could find, I finally found a solution for me to be able to play the game. There’s more than 1 issue at play so it gets wonky. If your game won’t boot / you’re getting the DEVICE_HUNG crash issue – this is what worked for me:

  • 13th gen chips don’t sit right with UE5, so download intel extreme tuning utility and downclock performance cores to x54 – this will allow you to actually launch the game.
  • If you’re on a monitor above standard 1080p, set the resolution in the properties/launch options of the game, e.g. “-w 2560 -h 1440” for a 2k monitor (don’t include quotes).
  • Force dx11 instead of dx12 in the launch options “-dx11” (don’t include quotes) – I’m not certain how effective this is, so it might be worth trying with and without this if all else works for you.
  • Last but not least, and what finally solved the crashes for me – downgrade your graphics drivers. I personally downgraded to the 546.01 drivers released on Oct 31st. in windows search bar type “add or remove programs” -> search “nvidia” -> uninstall the current drivers -> restart PC -> install the following drivers.

Good luck!
