kernell32/ntdll error playing Unreal Engine games

Hi - thank you for responding.

I'm not sure what you mean. I don't exactly have unreal engine installed (I don't think).... I'm simply playing games built with Unreal Engine. I looked in my C drive and there was no C:/buildWork directory. Any other suggestions?

23h2 Crashes unreal engine games with “UE4 game has crashed and will be closed! Fatal error!”

Ever since the February 23H2 update, my Unreal Games crash as well. I play Dead By Daylight and it would say that Unreal had an exception and caused a crash. I tried on Xbox game pass and it did the same thing. Unreal Fatal Error. Game will be closed. I just reverted back to the 2H22 update and no problems since (other than having to wait for my dead by daylight ban of 48 hours since it was causing me to DC so many times). I created a restore point and called it SAFE WINDOWS and am considering updating to the the January update at the most just to see if it was that particular update. The known issues & resolved issues do not mention anything in regards to Unreal. So I am not sure if they are aware of it. But that was my fix for now. I have disabled updates for 5 weeks (the max apparently).

I had done the same troubleshooting steps as well (doing a clean install of windows, doing a clean install of my graphics card software, drivers, etc) nothing solved the issue until I reverted back to the 22H2 version via the Microsoft Update Catalog.
