Im getting an error attempting to boot the game: 

Fatal error: [File:D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Util.cpp] [Line: 249] 

Direct3DDevice->CreatePixelShader(ActualCode.GetData(), ActualCode.Num(), nullptr, Shader->Resource.GetInitReference()) failed trying to create shader '<unknown>' with error E_INVALIDARG

 at D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Windows\D3D11RHI\Private\D3D11Shaders.cpp:196

Any idea how to fix this?

sorry to hear that—haven't seen it before, I'll have to look into it. what GPU are you running it on?

I'm getting the exact same error. My GPU is "Radeon RX 580 Series"

Radeon RX 590. Similar series to the commenter below me

just pushed an update, includes some changes to default graphics settings that will hopefully ameliorate this—if you (or anyone else who was getting this problem) gets a chance to try it out, please let me know if this fixes the crashing! (if you're using the itch desktop client, it may require a clean install)

getting the same error upon starting up even with the new update still

im on a Radeon RX 460

Ookay, thanks for testing—just pushed a patch that hopefully addresses this, if you (or anyone on a 4/5-series Radeon GPU) get the chance to let me know if this solves the problem would be much appreciated!

I'm on a 590, still getting the same error from the original comment.

still getting the same error unfortunately :(

Still getting the same error as well

christ almighty. okay will take another look tomorrow morning, sorry folks

Still getting this error after version 6 on an RX 570

same issue, gpu is "Radeon RX Vega GL" (inbuilt laptop gpu), initially a window would pop up saying it detected that the currently installed drivers were known to have issues so I looked around for a newer update and installed it, the only thing that changed is there is now no window popup saying the drivers have issues, otherwise it gives the same error when trying to start the game.

ditto the rest, rx 580

Same issue here, with radeon rx 580
