Whelp, my shitty ass laptop can run the ue4 edition but apparently doesnt have a good enough graphics card for the ue5. Fuck me.
All Unreal Engine 4 and 5 games can do this:
1- find the game executable
2- make a shortcut to it
3- right click and open the shortcut Proprieties
4- in the Target field, at the end after the .exe, insert a space and either -dx11 or -vulkan
If the game was compiled with the default UE API resources (not stripped out) they should at least run in -dx11 mode.
But not all games work, some does indeed require full compliant dx12 gpu and will not fallback to dx11 nor allow to run on vulkan.
good luck
