When I go to start up the game in Unreal mode, it looks like it is going to launch, but then it shows an error/crash report. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, starting in different versions, so what gives?
Any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: The details say

Sorry for the late response, but yes. I have tried everything and it does not work for me
That includes getting the latest version of DX11?
Yes
Thanks @HondaFanboy for submitted error reports with your email address in them. Made it possible to find the logs.
The game is giving the following:
[2018.07.07-05.32.11:352][ 0]LogD3D11RHI: Adapter Name: NVIDIA GeForce 940MX
[2018.07.07-05.32.11:352][ 0]LogD3D11RHI: Driver Version: Unknown (internal:Unknown, unified:Unknown)
[2018.07.07-05.32.11:352][ 0]LogD3D11RHI: Driver Date: Unknown
I just noticed that updating your drivers is not in the Troublshooting FAQ, so if you have not given that a go yet. Please do so. Download The Latest Official GeForce Drivers
Still not working 
, What should i do? I have updated the drivers and it is still crashing.
This is strange, I have not seen a crash like this so early in startup. It is before it even starts to load any levels or assets.
Googling the exact error (D3D11Viewport.cpp
with error 8876017C) in the logs brings up this: I cant play the game - Players Helping Players - Funcom Forums
Who has the same 940MX as you So you are not alone in this.
Reading this long thread on the issue: Crash at lunch : the UE4-Avgame has crashed and will close :: Vampyr Technical Support
Seems that maybe a Windows 10 update has sort of screwed up the ability for UE4 to correctly select/run/use the Geforce 940MX over the Integrated Intel Chipset.
Quoting Emil from that Steam Thread:
I fixed it on my machine.
Download the ZIP file from here: Download Intel Drivers and Software
NOT the executable (it won’t work for everyone)Use the directions found here to install, even if the driver is unsupported by the manufacturer:
Manually Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows 7*(Nb. I’ve not actually tried playing with the new drivers installed… but the game at least runs now)
EDIT: Fortnite also works now
Also, another option for fixing this, for those who have the option, is to disable integrated graphics in the BIOS.
A reddit thread I found on this, the player fixed it by rolling back a Windows 10 version from 1803 to 1709. It looks like my work machine is still on 1709.
ok. Will I have to rollback my windows version for it to work?
Seems a lot of people had luck with updating the intel drivers.
Unfortunately, no drivers could help anything, so I had to roll back my windows version. But it does work now!
Thanks for your help.
