<SOLVED> Unreal Engine/Game crashing upon start up.

[ᴷˡᶻ NJRuckus]

<SOLVED>

Took a little while, but these are are few things I tried till eventually resolved the issue.

For my AMD Setup I installed/uninstalled/reinstalled all possible versions of AMD Adrenaline/Drivers.

Even went so far as to install actual instances of Unreal engine (unnecessary)

But in the end, all I had to do was go to %localappdata%\ProjectZeppelin\Saved\Saved Games and deleted everything in that folder.

This worked for me so far.

Hello,

I've just loaded the game and had about 13 hours in when I ran into GPU running out of memory issue. I was not able to verify what the issue was that caused such excessive draw because the game crashed and I am not too versed in pulling up debug records.

My system specs aren't too bad.

Ryzen 9 5900X
32G TridentZ Neo Ram
RX 6900 Red Devil GPU
1TB of m.2 and a few on another simpler SSD.

The error I'm getting is something along the lines of UE4 Project Zeppelin etc., see below.

 

Fatal error!

Since game is in early access, I'm sure could be on either end. So before I went digging any further, figured I'd drop a topic in here as well. Maybe someone has encountered this issue as well.

Probably worth mentioning.

I was lazy and was playing the game through Steam link, settings that worked best were in Windowed mode which scaled properly to my TV.

it crashed a twice due to GPU Memory running out, though I was able to restart it while reading up on the issue (Figured...GPU Drivers, etc.), the engine began to crash on startup before I had a chance to even update drivers.

Now with drivers updated, game reinstalled, game files verified,...still same story.
