Question Some Unreal Engine games are crashing.

I bought my computer in February this year, and since then, I haven't had any issues with Unreal Engine games. On November 30th, I purchased Squad and Six Days in Fallujah, and until December 20th, I experienced no performance loss or errors in these games. However, on December 20th, after playing Squad for 15-20 minutes, I encountered the error that I'll include a photo of below. Hoping it would resolve itself, I decided to wait. During this time, I tried playing Six Days in Fallujah, but after 15-20 minutes of gameplay, I encountered the same error in this game as well. Since that day, I have been consistently getting the same error.

I have tried several solutions:

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled the GPU drivers, and also attempted to roll back to older versions.
  • Updated all motherboard-related drivers via Asus Armoury Crate.
  • Verified the game and system files.
  • Checked for Windows updates.
  • Ran a FurMark test to check the GPU, which returned a minimum of 45°C and a maximum of 71°C (I don’t think there’s an issue with my GPU since other games run without problems).
  • Disabled my antivirus program and attempted to play.
No matter what I do, the same error persists. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

I think I have fixed Six Days In Fallujah by running it as an administrator but it doesn't work on Squad.

This is the Crash I have been getting from Squad.
