Watch the back of it. Pretty it's not just chilling. It's doing something odd.

#

wait a moment yesterday played an UE5 game that says compiling shaders in the load screen, is that a feature of 5 or whats that

cursive crypt
#

I dunno, but I have seen it in another games too recently.

median wraith
#

mmm asking the dev then

#

miss clicked on windows edge and now a window without option to be closed opened asking me crap all the time

cursive crypt
#

jeez hev, are you using 3 browsers? And MS Store?!

median wraith
#

no, just the two second ones

median wraith
#

government ones cannot be opened on chrome lol

cursive crypt
#

wtf, lol

#

Anyway, call the Task Manager and kill that MS annoyance.

median wraith
#

due they are so incompetent that still using 1998 techs and libs

#

that cannot render on chrome

cursive crypt
#

The governments are always decades behind in whatever.

median wraith
#

they are maybe using futuristic techs from 2005

#

the law uses word from 2007 so

cursive crypt

By this point prolly even the worst Linux distro would be more powerful than their systems.

20 years ago, they did some medical reform here, giving PCs to some doctors.

#

Hey so I'm not sure if it's something going wrong or if the latest UE5.4 repo builds are misconfigured

#

I'm building using the recommended settings of Development Editor (Win64), the source code is also building on something called GameplayGraphTests and the result has been a UE Soruce Code folder of about 484GB (twice). Is that correct?

median wraith
#

if helps you in something the lightmass + about all tools + shipped ready for games for me is 250GB

#

idk if the Graph test is build

marsh vector
#

apparently some devs who build it are only getting 200-250GB but I'm just stuck with near 500 GB of just one game engine

median wraith
#

na will be 250gb always

marsh vector
#

let me disprove that real quick

median wraith
#

you need the graph for something ?

marsh vector
#

this is about 49% compiled in VS 2022

#

this is the second time I've been doing this

fleet tangle
marsh vector
#

this does not seem normal

fleet tangle
#

Never build the entire solution.

fleet tangle
#

Never do that.

marsh vector
#

but- it said-

#

WHY EPIC WHY

median wraith
#

build this

#

right click and that's it

marsh vector
#

WHY ISN'T IT CLEAR ON THAT

fleet tangle
#

Even that is unnecessary in most cases.

marsh vector
#

uh okay

#

how do i cancel a build

fleet tangle
#

If you already have a project set up, make sure it's set to use that source build and then build the project

#

ctrl+break

median wraith
marsh vector
#

i have no break key

median wraith
#

in build cancel

marsh vector
#

nvm found it

#

thanks

#

so

#

uh

fleet tangle
#

Serves you right for having such a shitty keyboard! ๐Ÿ˜„

marsh vector
#

i have an RK 98 and until today I have NEVER seen a use for the break key in 20 years

median wraith
#

hahaha

fleet tangle
#

Welcome to VS!

marsh vector
#

I've been using VS for years and have never seen a need for any break key until today

#

why is it like this

#

so uh

#

i started building the source and now have a recompiled source code

fleet tangle
#

I use it all the time.

marsh vector
#

do I just uh delete a folder?

fleet tangle
#

You don't need to do anything really.

marsh vector
#

or do I just completely delete and retry

fleet tangle
#

Just build your project.

marsh vector
#

no the entire point of doing this was to uh

#

shrink my actual UE5 from 484GB

fleet tangle
#

Oh dear

marsh vector
#

and get a fresh copy which was smaller

fleet tangle
marsh vector
#

i think i'll just delete and restart the entire rebuild

median wraith
#

well if you don't have changes just delete and redeploy

marsh vector
#

pretty much what I'm doing cause it's a fresh UE5 install

median wraith
#

lmao

"An investigation by the ACM found that the company "exploited [the] vulnerabilities" of children through design choices in its item shop.

This included using demanding phrases such as "get it now" or "buy now" on certain advertisements, which the ACM described as an "illegal aggressive commercial practice." Epic was fined โ‚ฌ562,500 for this violation."

Frostpunk 2 is coming to Game Pass! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Hehe.
points at those who bought the game and laughs

#

Bweehehehehehe.

cursive crypt

Never bought it.
It was: GamePass ๐Ÿ˜’

summer cedar
#

Dang, there's no whistling emoji.

#

Fine. Meme will do.

marsh vector
#

Game Pass is a waste of time if you don't even play games much, or don't play games on a Microsoft Platform.

cursive crypt
#

It also screws majorly many studios.

marsh vector
#

It's fine if you play many games but for like one specific game... it's not a worthwhile investment.

marsh vector
#

I think there are only two games I play right now, one's not on gamepass and one's not on a Microsoft Platform

summer cedar
marsh vector
#

Girls und Panzer - Dream Tank Match DX (Nintendo Switch) and War Thunder (PC) are the two main ones. The former because I just like the stupidity of tank drifting

How is War Thunder btw?

Are you playing solo or with a team?

Friends or randoms?

I just play to play

It's not red enough.

It must reflect the bloody swathe of destruction that we cut across the enemies of man.

Warhammer tanks simply answer the greatest fantasy question of all tank designers: why not?

summer cedar

Correct.

It must make our devotion to the golden throne shine forth in all its glory.

marsh vector

Now Warhammer TITANS....

they are truly the best sets of all time

Games Workshop should just make a bullet hell game with the player piloting a Titan.

good job azrael, you successfully delayed my game by two months

eyy, thats a good collection

summer cedar

You mean on Steam?

You could only get BF 1942, BF2 and BF 2142 added by EA Support during early days of Origin if you had a valid CD Key and proof of ownership.

Oh, I see.

marsh vector
# empty dune delisted

no the games were never even listed, all three were (effectively) financially dead before Origin launched

empty dune

2142 was pretty fun

marsh vector

they kept the products on for legacy reasons and you have to use community patches now to play either of the three

I played all those games. ๐Ÿ™‚ I loved and finished two Battlefield games.

any of you remember the ancient game Recoil (1998)?

empty dune

my first sqad command game

Recoil was so fun, a bit awful on some levels, but its such a pain to get running now

empty dune
marsh vector
#

LMAFO

no that's just how it was from the factory

Recoil would accidentally trip some antivirus softwares

summer cedar

Red Faction Guerrilla was awesome.

marsh vector

seeing the BFT brings me back memories

summer cedar
#

In terms of pure destruction, you were hard pressed to get anything like it at the time.

#

But, I played the second game first and loved the story.

#

THEN, I discovered the first game. By then, the graphics were too low-res.

marsh vector
#

yknow, if i had the time and ability, I'd remake this game in UE5 or Unity just to make it so that you could play it again with proper support for stuff

empty dune

i hate all of you

I am not sure HOW I got it, though.

battlefront 2's murder was inexcusable

they really killed it to make bf2042

oh huh i have this?!

Yeah, but let's be honest, every game dev can make a murder fest.

They just don't.

Actually, there was this jarring game on Steam that I've never spoken about.

It's magic is in the way the graphics are utilised.

I'm... gonna just immediately be concerned about hearing that game name

and never look it up, for my own safety

summer cedar

I thought I'd love it, given my sadistic, divine nature.

Then, I began to play it.

#

And even though the front of my brain was fine with it, the back began to recoil hard.

I was like, "Shit, I need to stop," and I did. Never went back.

The dev played the black-and-white and red colour combos really well.

People 'say' a lot of things. It's better to read the investigative report and see how it happened, if it did.

It's like people who say their credit card info was 'stolen', when they actually 'gave' it to whoever it was on the phone that scammed them.

Ok, specific to that device, any bluetooth and RFID protections will block it. So, security protocols and enhancements can protect someone.

Not right away, probably. But once it goes mainstream, definitely.

It isn't making it up. The web sources are linked by it. Co-Pilot is pretty good these days.

Copy God Todd. Use more loading screens for everything. Every time the ship moves, have a 1 second loading screen to compensate for each jitter. Every time the ship stops, have another loading screen to say that the ship has stopped, in BOLD letters.

hollow dawn

just fade to white everytime you need to cover a jitter, like speed flashing lights stuff

#

or add loads of motion blur, grain and color shift

#

or both

proud jay
#

fill screen with particles

summer cedar
#

Also, implement reverse thrusters in your game. Then, put in a tutorial pop up saying, "Your ship will shudder and stutter while moving because of an unremovable reverse thruster that is malfunctioning. You need to be level 99 and at end-game to remove it. Thanks for buying."

hollow dawn

but particles make it even slower, thats when you want to extend the "time played" counter on steam

Don't forget Chromatic Aberration to cover up the motion blur and fades.
