game wont launch even with clean install
hi, so I have done the steps that the bot has suggested, remove the mods, I in fact just cleaned it up and did a fresh install but it still won't launch, i'm trying to launch it though steam and i get the crash saying this everytime:
Fatal error: [File:C:\BuildAgent\work\b731a33f2a691e17\UE4\Engine\Source\Runtime\RHI\Private\PipelineStateCache.cpp] [Line: 365] Shader compilation failures are Fatal.

To force the use of DirectX 11 with your game, add the

There are a few things to try if your RHI is causing crashes.
1) Try switching your RHI. If you're using DX11 or DX12, switch to the other. If you're using Vulkan, try DX12 before DX11
2) Try verifying your game files.
3) Update/reinstall your graphics drivers
4) Try disabling hierarchal Z-buffer occlusion in the game's graphics settings.
5) Try tuning your graphics card's clock down, especially if has been overclocked (by you or the vendor)
For more info use the following commands as appropriate:
dx11 dx12 vulkan verifyepic verifysteamhow do i change and disable some of these options?
