Runtime fix for the UE editor crash-on-launch on macOS 26 Tahoe. No source rebuild.

The story

UE 5.6.1, 5.7, and 5.8 crash on every launch on macOS 26 (Tahoe) — a stack-buffer-overflow in FMacPlatformMemory::GetStats before the editor window even appears. The official fix is 'rebuild the engine from source.' This is the other fix: a 30-line DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES shim that patches the problem at runtime. Install, launch, work.

Highlights

  • Fixes UE 5.6.1 / 5.7 / 5.8 on macOS 26 without rebuilding the engine
  • 30-line dylib shim — auditable in one screenful
  • Saved countless Mac Unreal devs from a multi-hour source build
