Suddenly all Unreal engine based games are not playable anymore. Last night they were running well and smooth but suddenly games such as Mudblood Prologue, Captain Hardcore 0.2 stopped launching altogether with a error pop up titled :

"The UE4/UE5(game name) has crashed and will close" with description : "Fatal error!"

Things I have tried so far :

- Restarting PC
- Downloading and installing DirectX ( which prompted Newer or latest version already present/installed )
- Downloading and installing visual C++ 2015-2022 ( which was followed by another restart of the system )
- Creating shortcut of the executable, disabling rescale

In 'user/appdata/local/game_name' there is folder named crashes and it had these files :

Btw, I am running the packaged game as it is, simple export and run.
I haven't installed Unreal Engine as an independent software on the system.

The log is where saves are stored. Saves/logs or something like that. That's the crash dump, and it looks fine.

The logs file is empty, both games. Any other file location maybe?
It's that one, but idk why it's empty, shouldn't be. The dump file looks fine to me at first glance, if your drivers are ok, it means something is affecting the game execution (whatever new thing you did to your pc between last night and now, including gamepad, audio, new software, whatever).
If you have those games on steam, i'd try to verify the integrity of the files to see if something hasn't messed them up.

It seems packaged games sometime have Unreal engine with entry logging disabled. Specially incase of cracked games ( which I'm having issues with )

Thanks for aiding in troubleshoot though!

[Update] :

The hard disk in which the Files were located had some technical issue with reading and writing of files (broken sector or something). Thus, while my whole system was running smoothly and games such as Halo Infinity were playing well, downloaded big games from F95zone base on UE were showing fatal error due to inaccessibility to resources for the application!
