Unreal Engine crash when using the SDK

Fishy1996 — Tue, 12 May 2026 16:32:58 GMT

I want to use Unreal Engine 5.7.4 in combination with ArcGIS SDK version 2.3.0. When I follow this tutorial (https://developers.arcgis.com/unreal-engine/install-and-set-up/), Unreal Engine crashes the moment I want to create the map.

I also tried the combinations:

- UE 5.7.4 -> ArcGIS SDK v2.2.0

- UE 5.6.1 -> ArcGIS SDK v2.3.0

- UE 5.6.1 -> ArcGIS SDK v2.2.0

All have the same issue. I have attached the log files, hopefully someone knows how to solve this.

Hello @Fishy1996 , were you using the Simulation blank template by any chance?

Yes, exactly that one! I want to use it to make a simulation over the tiles. That's why I chose it.

There appears to be a conflict with the GeoreferencingSystem actor in this Simulation template. After removing that, a Map can be created successfully.

We had a fix for this and it will go in for version 2.4. For now, we would recommend you either remove the GeoreferencingSystem actor before creating a map or just use the Blank template instead. Thanks!

As the crash happens every time you create an ArcGIS Map, i think it is a plugin initialization issue than a project problem. You have already tested multiple UE and SDK versions, so its probably not just a version mismatch. Try reproducing it in a brand new blank project with only the ArcGIS plugin enabled. If it still crashes, check the call stack or crash log and share it with Esri support—they should be able to tell if it's a known SDK issue.
