you dont pan for gold, you sell the pans to the gold panners

[polar hawk]

[obsidian nimbus]

ill trade my threadripper to become a teenager again

[polar hawk]

same

[proven shuttle]

idk what I should focus on

[polar hawk]

if you're a teenager you should focus on what makes you happy

[tall pilot]

reminds me of the fact that gold mines are selling people buckets of actual dirt for thousands of dollars... because it's "pay dirt" and "might" contain gold

[obsidian nimbus]

also on whats available

[polar hawk]

I had to move out when I was 14 and grind, I do not recommend

If you have any time to live life and be secure make the most out of it

[tall pilot]

honestly i have to chuckle at the audacity of the genius marketing wanketeer who thought of that pay dirt thing

[grim ore]

yup yup

[plush yew]

why are u still doing it

you must really enjoy it

[polar hawk]

I do

and its how I make a living

[proven shuttle]

I'm wondering what I need to do in the future for a living

[polar hawk]

Depends on the living you want to do

[cedar wave]

As lame as it sounds - honestly, what makes you happy.

[proven shuttle]

I don't really live in the moment so to speak

The main things that I do is play Rainbow Six and make stuff which is fun for me

[obsidian nimbus]

or do whats available and make it fun

[cedar wave]

Lame isn't the right word - cliche.

[polar hawk]

I strongly believe if you go down the road of engineering you'll be able to do anything else if you want to

You can be an engineer and transition to artist

transitioning to engineering is so much harder

[plush yew]

i just dont want to work full time being employed

[polar hawk]

and with engineering you can build and solve problems not related to engineering

if you don't want to work full time then thats going to be hard no matter what you choose to do

[proven shuttle]

I agree, don't exactly want to waste 8 a hours a day on a coopreration that doesn't give a shit about me

but

[cedar wave]

Statistically speaking, that's what you're going to be doing.

[plush yew]

idk where to draw the line of just being lazy though

[proven shuttle]

which is why I want to find something enjoyable at least that is worth learning

but ya

[polar hawk]

Easiest way to do that is probably be an athlete but athletes train for hours and hours a day so

[cedar wave]

Accept it and understand its place.

[plush yew]

i dont think i will ever settle with it if i do end up doingit

[polar hawk]

But then you get paid millions to work for 2 hours

[plush yew]

not talented enough for that

[polar hawk]

thats the secret though

talent isn't something you have its something you build

thats why you train for hours and hours a day

[proven shuttle]

Yea I was about to say

Aren't athletes tall too?

[polar hawk]

not at all, but it helps

[tall pilot]

depends on the sport

[proven shuttle]

i'm on the complete opposite on the tall end

[polar hawk]

any job that pays well that doesn't require full time work takes an insane amount of training and devotion

or alternatively is very dangerous

[cedar wave]

Or luck...luck too.

[proven shuttle]

truth

[polar hawk]

like radio tower maintenance

if you wanna climb 500ft towers

you'll only climb one tower a day

and you'll get paid super well

[cedar wave]

Only in Dying Light please.

[tall pilot]

googles radio tower maintenance positions in my area

[plush yew]

even then i would hate it

[polar hawk]

have to be skilled at climbing and radio tower maintenance

[plush yew]

still spending my life doing meaningless work

[polar hawk]

theres nothing meaningless about that type of work

[plush yew]

it is from my point of view

[proven shuttle]

Ideally I'd want to work with a company making a game - other than programming of course

[polar hawk]

well thats a rough point of view lol

[proven shuttle]

I mean work is meaningful - if you're working at best buy you're helping people with technology and helping a business grow

If you work at fast food - you're helping people stay fat and unhealthy and helping a buisness grow 😆

[polar hawk]

more importantly you're helping someone with their day

however

just because something has meaning doesn't mean its valuable

or at least perceived as valuable

doing any kind of work in medicine is extremely meaningful

and undervalued

[tall pilot]

i worked for about 10 years in a tire shop. and even though i knew the work was meaningful and necessary, at a certain point i felt the grind wearing on me and the monotony became insane

[polar hawk]

ayy

meaning is nice but sometimes doing unmeaningful things is nice too

[tall pilot]

i quit when covid shut the shop down and they had me and my team stocking shelves. i would rather drive screws in to my eyeballs

[next badger]

come one ppl, that is still #ue4-general

[polar hawk]

all of this is to say

don't use unreal engine if you want money

if you want money and unreal engine then you have to be really good at it

[tall pilot]

only use unreal engine if you want 94% of money

[polar hawk]

although its way easier to make money using unreal than unity

thats for damn sure

[proven shuttle]

and dont make over a million lol

[polar hawk]

You can put out an ad for unity engineers and get tons of applicants willing to work $30k a year

[obsidian nimbus]

well thats too bad, u either make 20mil or nothing at all

[plush yew]

i still wanna try make a game myself though

just to see if i could be successful

[proven shuttle]

I made one game in a year

[polar hawk]

Then plan on making 10 games

[proven shuttle]

a 2d one

i decided to move to 3d to make cooler things

[plush yew]

thats what i meant

[obsidian nimbus]

over 90% of the ppl on this discord do not make money making games

[cedar wave]

Woah - I'm a part of the 10%.

[obsidian nimbus]

10% that do... 9% is employed by a big comp

[cedar wave]

Only smokes, that means I'm in the 1%?

[obsidian nimbus]

yup

[cedar wave]

BOW TO ME PEASANTS

[plush yew]

thats not a reason to not try though

[thick loom]

You must be rich!

[oblique trench]

all that we selling fun, nothing more. no one interesting with the codebase, the art style, deadlines they just want to execute program and everything starts.

[thick loom]

You are in the 1%!

[oblique trench]

make some FUN.. money comes

[thick loom]

If you build it, they will come!

[obsidian nimbus]

and this are conservative numbers prolly way to positive 😛

[thick loom]

Great tag line, but not actually true...

[hot anchor]

Thanks guys

[cedar wave]

Build it, market it, they will come. There, fixed.

[gray kindle]

lads is there any tool in unreal that will prevent the character mesh to pass through clothes on top of him? like right now when my character moves some parts of him peek through his armor

[cedar wave]

I'm specifically giving a thumbs down because you are posting in multiple channels.

[hot anchor]

?

I did here for help and then in the work in progress

is that not allowed?

[proven shuttle]

choose one

[hot anchor]

Sorry i will change rn

[next badger]

@hot anchor

[hot anchor]

my bad for posting in two channels just removed it on this one

Sorry (:

[pine jacinth]

Hi how are you today ?

[proven shuttle]

You should be more sorry for that backwards smiley face than anything else :)

[hot anchor]

lmao

[tall pilot]

sounds like something you gotta fix in the character model

[hot anchor]

yeah @next badger is premiering rn live and then it publishes pretty cool yt feature

If any of u wanna help i need advice on lvl design link in #work-in-progress

premiere starting rn

[next badger]

@hot anchor i dont see any cool about making me wait to leave you a feedback on thing you asked

[pine jacinth]

Ok

[hot anchor]

lmao i set it to 1:45pm

Idk why it took so much longer

[gray kindle]

character model and armor are 2 separate objects, like armor is just an item in game. i've created a lot of them but whenever the character jumps or moves or does something part of his body just goes through the clothes hes wearing

[tall pilot]

then you need to adjust the space you put between the armor and the character somehow. like maybe enlarging your armor mesh or something

[gray kindle]

the object fits the skeletal mesh of the character perfectly so idk whats going on, i could scale the armor up or add some additional stuff on top of the places where the "skin" is showing but that kind of feels like cheating

yeah thats what im probably going to do lol

[cedar wave]

kind of feels like cheating
That's all gamedev is. Smoke & mirrors

[gray kindle]

i thought theres some way of restricting the character from going through the armor, similiar to collision

[tall pilot]

either that or rework all your animations to behave with armor correctly :) movement is going to be restricted in armor compared to no armor, so the animations most likely aren't "correct" in that sense

[cedar wave]

Could also just hide the mesh under the armor if it is full body.

[hot anchor]

ok @next badger now the video is published mb, anyone here who wants to help I would LOVE some feedback on my first weekly dev update video

The link is in #work-in-progress

[tall pilot]

that level of collision is probably too complex to leave up to runtime. that should be baked in the animation

[gray kindle]

haha now that would be even more work 😄

[tall pilot]

but you probably don't have an easy way to do that for separate armor & clothing sets

[gray kindle]

im curious how they are doing it for AAA games

[tall pilot]

i suspect they hide the parts of the body that are in clothing & armor

[proven shuttle]

^^

[tall pilot]

would also reduce draw calls

or something

[gray kindle]

yeah thats good idea

[cedar wave]

What? I literally said that

Darn you @tall pilot

[gray kindle]

haha u said if its full body!

and i didnt catch on

[cedar wave]

Extrapolate the info and apply.

[gray kindle]

basically i should split the character into several pieces and make the armor switch them

like i exchange his head with helmet whenever its equipped, sounds good

[next badger]

@hot anchor well, some issues:
foliage on concrete...at least place some dirt to grow on
some object cast no dynamic shadows from the flashlight, while others do

[gleaming creek]

That's generally how games like Elder Scrolls do it

It's a bit awkward if any part of your character is visible under the clothing/armour though

[gray kindle]

the grey stuff on the right is what im talking about

[gleaming creek]

For example, if your character is wearing a T-shirt, then parts of the upper arms and neck are visible - and if that's baked in, you'll have trouble if you can customise the player's appearance

[solid glade]

Hi Matthew

I went looking for any course related to this matter.
Didn't find anything.

Do you know if there should be a course up? Is it me not finding it or is the course yet not made?

[finite dew]

my ue4 assets come up to £2,886.4

[next badger]

@finite dew worth it?

[finite dew]

some of it yeah

but my pc cant run it lol

thats my pc specs

[gray kindle]

yup, but im still wondering if theres a simple way to prevent the character mesh to "collide" somehow with the mesh of armor, or make the armor hide whats under it, by code or material or something

[thick herald]

Master Pose Component is the thing you should be looking into @gray kindle

Or look into applying the animation to the clothing

[gray kindle]

ill google it, thanks!

its hard to find stuff like this sometimes because i dont even know what to google for 😩

[next badger]

@finite dew you've spent ~$4000 on assets and have no money on a pc?

[proven shuttle]

Yeah, what?!

[tall pilot]

after spending that much on assets, how do you expect to buy a PC that can run them? :D

[next badger]

well, in my world PC comes first

[late verge]

if there are any Epic UE devs reading the chat, what was the reasoning for the removal of bokeh DOF? it looked gorgeous compared to circle DOF.

[next badger]

assets can be made, but hardware not

[tall pilot]

then who made my pc??? :O

[next badger]

@late verge bokeh dof still there, use cine camera

@tall pilot factory that worth BILLIONS

[tall pilot]

the oompa loompas who work for the wizard of oz deep down in the mines of moria

[frigid urchin]

@dense hatch sorry for the late response. Concerning the freeze; it hangs for a permanent time, but I can move my mouse, do windows commands, etc. It only stops to freeze when I switch my monitor on and off

[late verge]

bokeh dof was removed in 4.23 @next badger

which is incredibly unfortunate

it was really beautiful

[tall pilot]

but why :c

[late verge]

and as far as i’m aware, there’s no way to customize the look of DOF

unless you’re using mobile DOF i believe

[tall pilot]

you could write your own DOF shader

[late verge]

id be willing to pay a hefty subscription fee just to get bokeh dof back

UE devs, you’re missing out on a chunk of change here

[violet iron]

can anyone help me out with this issue with a car model that I made in 3DS not laying flat? I have more details on my reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/khkor7/car_wont_touch_ground_on_all_4_sides/), but in summary i think that the bone of the car is blocking it from touching the ground correctly and i'm not sure how to fix it.

[heady quartz]

Ok.. Can someone explain why is this not working when i package the game? (it works only if i pakage it with vulkan support).

[digital anchor]

Ive seen at least 2 other people complaining custom depth doesnt work on mobile

[uneven hemlock]

I dont get this definition thing in vscide

code

[oblique trench]

CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE to peek function params @uneven hemlock but your question is out of context for this channel

AFAIK i disabled the intellisense thing for years. I'm just happy with the shortcuts available on visual studio. Look at the Visual Assist X which is more UE4 C++ intended

[heady quartz]

It works on mobile preview but not on mobile packaged game (if it’s packaged with vulkan support it works)

[plush yew]

Can i change landscape resolution in world composition? When i try to change some values in my landscape properties UE4 crashes

[tepid veldt]

I'm having a bit of an issue:

So whatever I tried, I couldn't get my AI to move grid-based and turn-based. Instead I developed a work around that although is not automatic and thus slower, it gives me full control over the path my AI will follow. What I did is create a custom editor utility that allows me to "record" the path for the selected AI. I have a little 4-directional pad allowing me to input the actions manually and these send the delta vector I want to move over to the array on the guard, which it will then execute turn by turn. Basically I give it an array of actions it should perform sequentially and execute it like I do with my own player, lerping between these points. Now, everytime I recompile, restart the editor or rebuild this array I gave the AI is removed.

Is there a way I can store the array I filled in-editor to be saved?

[vague scaffold]

I'm experiencing something that I feel might be a bug in the FBX exporter. I am exporting the Mountain Dragon from Quadrapeds collection on the Marketplace.
Inside Unreal, the bone names look OK, but once export the asset to a FBX file, when I examine the resulting file it looks like the exporter is mangling the "-" character into a " ".
When I import this FBX into Houdini, the space in the bone names messes up those tools.
Is there anyway to tell Unreal not to change the dash character into a space?
Or alternately, is there a way to mass rename these bones before export?

[topaz jackal]

how do I set I sublevel as "Always loaded" the Documentation is not like the current engine

[plush yew]

how can i get the socket of the mesh from another blueprint?

need to define it

but how

because casting doesnt work since i changed mesh

[gaunt tide]

Can a ForEachLoop break somehow as in not work?

[exotic thicket]

There's a separate "for each with break" node

[vast dagger]

Anyone know anything about Gang Beasts-like grabbing?

[gaunt tide]

I mean break as in stop working. I ask because I have a function in a blueprint that worked flawless after opening and closing the game multiple times and used a ForEachLoop to a Get Data Table Row and so I didnt mess with anything else after it was working and than went shopping for a couple hours than I come back and try it again and it is no longer working. I put a String on the "Row Not Found" on the Get Data Table Row and then a String on the "Completed" for the ForEachLoop". I get no response from either of them now. But I get a response on the first object in the data table.

[exotic thicket]

No, it won't stop working for no reason

If the for each loop doesn't run, then it means the input data array is empty

[gaunt tide]

It runs the first object in the data table but none of the others

I havent changed anything and before this it ran the entire list.

[exotic thicket]

would be easier to say if you can show what the loop looks like

[exotic thicket]

So what does it print? The row name and then ForEachLoopDone?

[gaunt tide]

Lol. I hate to say this but it was because of a return node.

[exotic thicket]

heh

that was going to be my next question :)

[gaunt tide]

I dont remember adding it though

[gaunt tide]

So wait you can still have the next function be executed even if the previous function doesnt have a return node?

[exotic thicket]

Yeah I think the blueprint engine is smart enough to be able to figure out where the execution would end

[autumn latch]

Are there any useful custom events like Event Tick?
For example, I want it to work constantly.

[pallid rock]

Hey UE4 amigos, anyone know what you would call a floating UI overlay that identifies an object in a scene? Like let's say that a player enters a large ship hanger and I want to have UI overlay that names and then draws a line to the ships in 3D space.

Basically, I'm trying to find something like this in the UE4 marketplace but have no idea what to call it....

[autumn latch]

I want to destroy some of my systems from event tick and move them to another place.

[proven shuttle]

if you want it to run independent from framrate you can use start event by timer and loop it

[autumn latch]

Nice tactic, I'll try this, thank you.

[obsidian wasp]

guys, has anyone successfully played a video HLS stream on iOS or knows how to do so? m3u8 is not supported on iPhone out of the box in the media framework and the VLC plugin seems to not work anymore. Thanks in advance.

[midnight jetty]

is there a function that returns which direction a character moved since the last frame? i know i can use Calculate Direction in the anim bp but im trying to Set Control Rotation in a regular blueprint. im trying to get the character to rotate depending on which way you are trying to move

[digital anchor]

no, but doing it is simply (ThisFramePos - LastFramePos).Normalize

[plush yew]

ok if i make a character creation system

can i go back and add a shit ton of options to it later

like more body shapes, heights, weights, eye colors and types, teeth designs etc

or is it a one and done thing :C

[gaunt tide]

You talking about like a 3D widget that pops up that faces you and tell you the ships stats?

[gaunt tide]

If you can code it, it can be done

[plush yew]

o.o

really

yayyyy

that makes me content :>

[pallid rock]

Not quite- just a floating UI widget that always has a line pointing to the ship, no matter where you are. I'm super new, so I've leaned (maybe too heavily) on the marketplace.

[exotic thicket]

I get a feeling there's probably not gonna be anything like that on the marketplace since it largely depends on your game spec how that would function

It shouldn't be too complicated to make though

[gaunt tide]

First you’d need to create the widget that is visible than have the line drawn to the ship

Or you mean something like and arrow on your screen point in the direction the ship is?

[exotic thicket]

Basically you can have a UMG widget on the screen, and then just do a line from the screen to the target (eg. calculate where the point on screen is in world space, and then use that as one of the points for the line)

[marsh swallow]

what is the correct forumla for making the character move to a point directly behind them. +/- on that float doesnt seem to make a difference

[pallid rock]

Line drawn to the ship.

So I guess I'd need a UI overlay and then code that connects the UI in front of the player to the 3D location of the ship....

[meager pagoda]

Hi guys, experiencing an issue with making my game multiplayer. I've managed to make a door 'open' correctly for all clients, and all of them have the interact function working. However...Although the door's open animation plays, and the static mesh 'swings open', the collision remains in the same place, making clients unable to step through the door. I've done a good bit of googling and haven't been able to find anybody experiencing this problem.

Note: The collision is a collision set to the static mesh itself, not a box collision or something added onto the blueprint.

As far as I can tell the statich mesh's collision should move with its position, and there's no BP function to move the collision itself. Any ideas?

[north creek]

can someone plz help me with this problem, when i import the mushroom to ue4 it comes with an sphere
but the mushroom itself its the sphere that i used to model it, the problem is that when i select the mushroom it selects the sphere instead

[marsh swallow]

@north creek that means your model was not centered. That sphere is the root

[plush yew]

hey all, what do you think is the best thing for a beginner to focus on, fps arms (later focus on maybe adding legs etc) or full body; what some call true first person where you socket the camera on the head? to me the fps arms only seems really smooth and i have messed about with full body but seems like theres a hell of a lot of fiddling about to get it working as well as arms

[marsh swallow]

Fix your centering in the model first

[north creek]

but the sphere is a separated object, if i move it it doesnt move the mushroom

[marsh swallow]

that doesnt make any sense. Are you dragging this in as a BP you made or a mesh?

[north creek]

and i cant delet it

i made the mesh, the sphere was the base mesh that i started modeling

[ocean zephyr]

I set up my auto landscape mat but it isn't loading the textures i put on anyone know how to fix this.

[north creek]

is at world origin with the origin right

i noticed that ue4 is doing this for all the meshes i import

here i select that T shape that i imported and it comes with that sphere, when i select the t it select the sphere

[plush yew]

wait what

what program did you use to create these meshes o-o;

[north creek]

blender

[plush yew]

o-o;;;

[north creek]

i am using a premade scene tho

[plush yew]

weird

did you use the sphere when making the mesh?

and is it like combined with the mesh you make or a base item xD

[north creek]

only the mushroom but that t shape was a cube originally so something is wrong in ue4

[plush yew]

just curious as im just learning game design myself

[midnight jetty]

can anyone help me out? im a newbie. im trying to make a side scroller where the character mesh rotates in the direction that the character is moving. (so when u run backwards, the control rotation flips. going forward, it flips back.) this is what i have so far:
http://puu.sh/GZLXJ/d1b4a69913.png

the issue is, when i run backwards to flip the control rotation to point toward backwards, it flips back as soon as i release the input. i want it to stay facing backwards, until i press the forward button. can anyone give me any advice?

[ocean zephyr]

I set up my auto landscape mat but it isn't loading the textures i put on anyone know how to fix this.

[tame patrol]

I am in desperate need of a solid (doesnt have to be AAA tier) animation system. What would you say is a fair asking price (for a contractor) to build a system that can handle the basic movements with mantling while also allowing for new arm animations to be added later on?

[plush yew]

unreal and blender can achieve pretty decently triple Aquality animations if you put the work into it

and it can be done in about 1 to 2 minutes at most if you know what your doing

royal skies on youtube explians it pretty well x3

[ocean zephyr]

@static lintel are you able to help me with something

[plush yew]

o-o; me?

[ocean zephyr]

ya

[plush yew]

I can try but im still learning the stuff myself

what's the issue x3

is it the landscape issue above?

[ocean zephyr]

I am making an auto mat for my landscape but when I set it to my landscape it didn't show up

ya

[plush yew]

huh

what does the blueprint look like

[ocean zephyr]

il open it up

[plush yew]

yes please dear ^^;

[ocean zephyr]

It's a fairly simple auto mat

[plush yew]

i can read the nodes x3

the names i mean its very pixelated

[ocean zephyr]

il zoom in

[plush yew]

okie gimme a sec

[ocean zephyr]

thanks

it was working a minute ago and then I switched out the textures

[plush yew]

hmm

if it isnt a settings you switched in and out

oh there's another yuki o.o

[static lintel]

i feel like i have to rename myself XD

[plush yew]

x3

[ocean zephyr]

I was so confused when you were both typing

[plush yew]

nuu i can go back to snow xD

[ocean zephyr]

you could do yuki snow

[plush yew]

Nuuu i usually go by snow in person and online so its easier this way xD

[ocean zephyr]

ok

is your real name snow

[plush yew]

okie so im looking through your blueprint

yes

[ocean zephyr]

thats so cool

[plush yew]

anywhore back to blueprint

shhhh

im not so cool iswear x///x

[ocean zephyr]

sorry

[plush yew]

its okay buddy but im looking at your nodes

and some i dont recongize as i dont use those tbh but something you can try

is disconnecting each seperate piece

and see if the texture loads as an instance

[ocean zephyr]

ok

[plush yew]

wait did you set up an isntance of the material

[ocean zephyr]

thanks

ya

[plush yew]

okie

put the instance in your texture area for your map

so as you try and pin point which part is broken

you can see the changes immediately

dont use the actual texture or itll just compile infinitely

try after setting the instance using the simplifer version of your setup just the main actual texture/material for the floor

and if it works reconnect each connective string youve created

and see at which point does it break

[ocean zephyr]

ok thanks

[plush yew]

you may be missing a constant, multiply, or interpolaration/lerp node to let the pieces mix about again im still learning so all of this may not work at all

but i hope this at least pushes you closer to fixing it let me know if any of this worked for finding the source of the issue or fixing it :>

[ocean zephyr]

will do

thanks

Absolute UE noob here. UE 4.25.4 is repeatedly crashing about one minute after I launch the editor. I've used UE only once before - to learn how to set up VR Preview mode for Oculus Quest/Link, and it worked fine. I restarted the PC and updated my RTX 2070 Super to the latest Studio drivers. No change. Thanks!

Thanks. Downloading now.

whats up beautiful people

doesnt this server have a help channel?

[maiden sundial]

Has anyone ever faced this message when importing something from Blender ?

No smoothing group information was found in this FBX scene. Please make sure to enable the "Export Smoothing Groups" option in the FBX Exporter plug-in before exporting the file.

Even for tools that do not support smoothing groups, the FBX Exporter will generate appropriate smoothing data at export-time so that correct vertex normals can be inferred while importing. 

That did the job ^^

Hey folks, is there a way of changing input keybind of UI click events?

So instead of using left mouse click I use right click for example

[plush yew]

This is the BP of my platform (there is a collision box) :

I guess I forget something but what ? ....

[flat pewter]

@plush yew click on the box, go down, click on the "BeginOverlap" event

use that instead

[plush yew]

@flat pewter Works like a charm. Thank you. Is ActorBeginOverlap bad or is it just me that doesn't know how to use it ? 🤔

[flat pewter]

I've never used it myself to be honest

check the docs

[plush yew]

ok, thanks again

4.26 doesn't work either. It crashes with the message "Failed to process file {ConfigFile}." I'll try to uninstall UE completely and google the problem more. This is frustrating as hell, because I was just opening the program to begin my first tutorial series. Ironically, I was thinking to move over from Unity because IT was so crashy.

[median hound]

so unity and ue4 got problems?

Thanks for your response. Direct 3D?

Is this something I would find via my GPU drivers? I'm new to both UE and Windows.

google would help on that

Just did. Just checked DirectX Diagnostic Tool and Direct 3D Acceleration is enabled under DirectX features. According to the google, this means I have D3D : /

first thing I did after the crash (following the google advice) was update my NVidia Studio drivers, then remove 4.25.4 and 4.26 from the Epic Games Launcher. Reinstalled 4.26, and the problem persists. Thing is, I had already opened UE one time before, following a tutorial to use the Oculus Quest/Link in VR Preview mode. It all connected and ran flawlessly. It was only the second time I opened it that the crashing started.

[grim walrus]

Hello all! Apologies, this might've been asked previously but would still like to ask nonetheless. Any guide on completely uninstalling UE on Ubuntu 18.04? Or does rm -rf suffice? Thanks!

[soft fiber]

Are they any Blueprint data structures in UE4 if you want to search for multiple rows of the same key? For example, a list of names and countries... I want all the names for the country...

[dim arch]

afaik key-value pairs are unique, but you can store multiple values for one key in an array

you can make an array of strings as a data structure, then assign it to a map
right click and split struct pin on Find node output

How to interrupt reloadin when I'm pressing Fire.
I mean I'm reloading and in time of reloading I'm pressing Fire Button.

[proven shuttle]

It depends on ur reload system... you'll have to show it to us and stuff

[tough pagoda]

I have delay for reloading.

[tough pagoda]

kk

[tough pagoda]

This branch isn't working.

[proven shuttle]

well you don't show where it's set
also I think there's two ways to approach it
One is to make a bool is the reload was canceled and if it was cancel after the delay, the second thing I can think of is if there's a timer you can start / stop but I'm not sure if / how that's available

[tough pagoda]

You need reload mechanic?

System I mean.

[proven shuttle]

I mean you just showed me your "system", that's how you do it

WHAT IS BLENDER DOING

oh nvm

i selected something dumb

[brave urchin]

Hi everyone i have a question about my animation in third person character mode.
So i made an animation in blender and imported in ue4 but when i play the animation in the environment It moves away and then comes back to the characters original place in the world, i tried different things like using force root motion in the animation and enable root motion as well but they didn't work for some reason. So can you guys tell me how i can make the animation play in root motion?

Here are the images of the character in the world

I would really appreciate the help

[fierce tulip]

its early so it might take a while to get a reply, if you havent gotten one in an hour or so try #animation :)

Does moving files around cause slowdown in the editor? if I have a map thats using some assets, I then make a new folder and move the assets into that folder, does that editor now have to do aditional work to find the assets or does it update the map to point to the new location directly ?

[dim arch]

make sure you move assets in the editor, not in the os file manager

when they are moved, there is a redirector created from the original asset location to the new one

you can right click the content folder and select fix up redirectors in folder to fix references to the assets

so yeah if you keep moving assets around and never fix redirectors it will chain them until it finds the asset I guess

[proud narwhal]

ok thanks will make sure to do the fix up redirectors

[fallen flower]

If someone is familiar with sublevels, could you please help me out in #aec-visualization? I'm trying to set up level variations.

[tough solar]

What are those macros?

[fallen flower]

The forums say to make sublevels hidden then build, but 4.25 will force you to make all sublevels visible

[tough solar]

It's one mouse click away, you can open run configurations settings, clone them, tweak commandline args like you want and call them with keybindings.
It's not as easy as UnrealVS with args right in the toolbar though, but it's still easier than vanilla VS

seems similar to your problem kilrath

[clever axle]

Quick beginner question: should I use particles only for FX or for game logic too?

for example: say my character shoots a bolt of lightning at a target, should that be a particle or a fancy mesh?

[fierce tulip]

can be either or both

[clever axle]

what would you do?

[fierce tulip]

so far has nothing to do with game logic though

[clever axle]

esp in the context of a dedicated server based multiplayer game?

[fierce tulip]

i'd pick what looks best for the style of said lightning bolt

[clever axle]

I could probably do it best with Niagara and learn a lot about it in the process

but could I do this with collision and everything?

[clever axle]

visually, I mean

[fierce tulip]

i think you are misunderstanding particles in general. vfx can use meshes, sprites, beams, ribbons etc.

[thorn lichen]

you try epic's tutorials on particles? Game logic would trigger the fx, its not mutually exclusive

[clever axle]

well, I guess the main question is: if I need game logic on something I move about in the world in a controlled manner, does it need to be an actor, esp. if it needs to be synchronized on server/clients?

@thorn lichen I watched a couple, yes

[fierce tulip]

an actor can be vfx, meshes, skelmeshes, anything

[clever axle]

ok, so, just generally, let's say you trigger the "fire death sphere thingy into direction x" on the server and want it to look cool and be as synchronized as possible, what would you do? spawn an actor and have it include a particle system? just have a particle system on the gun that shoots a mesh? something else entirely?

[fierce tulip]

id spawn the actor and include the system

[clever axle]

ok. and then apply a force into the direction of your target and have that corrected every couple frames by the server or move the thing by hand with an interp?

I had this issue when i tested around a bit with a slow moving visual bullet I was shooting from a gun by applying force to it that it would just have random drift, different collision and so on

which is bad for hit registration

[fierce tulip]

that kinda depends on what it needs to do.
I myself just make pewpews look pretty, the code part... iunno enough to give you an accurate answer on

[clever axle]

ok, I'll probably just have to test around a bit with different solutions

but I'm thinking: I want to have a hit chance, when the thing doesn't hit, just take a different angle and shoot it into that direction but still accurately simulate the path and maybe hit something else instead

I want a homing thing later but for now just "shoot A into direction B"

[fierce tulip]

besides asking in more specific channels, it might help to see how epic did it with unreal tournament. UT4 is still downloadable (and its version of the engine/editor)

[stark ledge]

If you want a detailed implementation approach, check out Shooter Game example. But be warned it's quite complex.

[fierce tulip]

or that

[clever axle]

hm, yes, probably best

I looked a lot into it for the replication graph already

thanks guys!

[fierce tulip]

good luck :)

[magic kettle]

just a quick question . I'm currently about to start the TwinStickShooter tutorial on the academy portal and the version being used is 4.8

My question is whether I download the exact version or use a more up to date one (4.26)? I understand that the blueprints and everything will be updated to match 4.26 specs, but I cant help get the feeling it will break (to some degree).

[potent bridge]

Very basic question, can Events be used in another blueprint? For example, I call UpdateStats in the player BP, and it runs the updating in another blueprint.

I'm not at my main PC right now, so I can't check.

[magic kettle]

essentially is it better practice to use the latest version of unreal on older projects?

[thick herald]

Use the most current one, if there is anything that is different it will be a great exercise in figuring out what has changed. Use google or the official docs or experiment yourself 🙂

[thick herald]

You can cast to anything to allow you to change stuff, all you'll need is a reference to the actor.

[magic kettle]

cheers, that does make a lot of sense to me. I thought about it that way too 🙂

[thick herald]

I'm trying to add networking to my first person shooter game. And I've gotten it working decently except none of the player can shoot up or down, only straight forwards, which is really weird. I'm not sure why looking up and down isn't being replicated, can someone help me debug this?

It's in c++

@plush yew Make sure you have #include'd the UStaticMeshComponent

Ok @digital anchor got the error fixed, thanks man 😉

[plush yew]

Are you using the same grass as in the screenshot you sent?

yes

[marble pebble]

I can't figure out why this is happening

[plush yew]

Hi. I'm learning my ways into unreal engine and... I kinda saved my game like this ( Please see image ) and when I open the game it's not exactly looking like that save. I assume that's a level save but not actually a backup.

The question is how can I make the game open as that last save ?

[digital anchor]

@marble pebble did you set initial velocity

[marble pebble]

Yeah, I should have added, this is set to play as listen server, and 2 players

This is client 2

It works when I set to 1 player just fine

[wary wave]

presumably because you're using the wrong initial rotation

if you print the rotations, I'm pretty sure you're going to discover that it's not what you expect

also #cpp

or #multiplayer , since replication is involved

Ooh there is a channel for that

Does anyone have some advice on save/load systems?
I still find it odd that Epic didn't build that functionality into the engine.
There are quite a few different systems on the Marketplace, but I'm not sure how to choose one.

A lot of them seem to need you to do a lot of manual work to get them working

Which... is fine I guess, but it seems like something one could easily forget and so accidentally introduce weird bugs

They seem to rely on loading the base level, then moving/modifying all of the objects there, adding any new ones, deleting any that had been deleted when the save was made. Which makes a kind of sense, but seems a bit odd - surely it would be better to just load the non-changing data from the base level, then the modifyable objects from the save (but I don't think the engine supports that, it would effectively need to be able to save the current state as a sublevel for streaming, if I understand correctly.)

[grave nebula]

@steel shell It should pretty simple. Either do not use VT or do not use RVT. Not using both is also an option.

[steel shell]

@grave nebula so i guess i use VT - which means streaming vt?

What's a good way to hold data like this in Blueprint so I can get back a list of items for a search value. For example, return all the rows where Country = "USA"?

PS: I plan to have a couple 1000 records.

[wary wave]

.... there's literally a thing called a Data Table

[soft fiber]

Yas, and can you search by multiple records in a data table?

[wary wave]

however, it looks horribly like you're going to need an actual database, and UE4 doesn't have stuff like that built in

[wary wave]

I mean, you can read the whole thing into a data structure of your choosing at run time and do whatever you want with it, but it's not going to be fun

it really does look like you'll need some kind of database solution

[soft fiber]

What data structure at run time?

Array of objects?

[wary wave]

array of structs, probably

but I would really not do this in blueprint if you're going to have 1000 entries

[soft fiber]

Can I search through an array of structs by a column or field in the struct?

[wary wave]

not without writing custom code

you would have to iterate through every member in the array and pull them out

it's the only way

[soft fiber]

And that can only be done in c++?

So at the end of the UMG Live Training Part 2 by Epic Game he is able to atleast drag the object from the inventory but not actually place it anywhere. I am currently at this part as well but I haven’t been able to get my inventory buttons to even attach to the mouse like his does in the video Maybe I missed something?

[grim ore]

well if the video showed one thing and you can't do it, either they skipped a step and are showing you something that should not be working for you (less likely) or you missed something (more likely) or the tutorial is now so far out of date that it simply does not work (even less likely)

[gaunt tide]

Yeah I mean it was from 2015 but I figured it’s worked so far for me just this part of drag and drop hasn’t. I did make my buttons not from a Pickup item but from a data table but that has been the only difference. I wish I could say what I possibly missed but I’ve watched Part 1 and Part 2 atleast 10 times now and even restarted the whole inventory process a couple times and it’s been the same result each time I’ve restarted.

[grim ore]

so your create drag drop operation is what makes the new widget your dragging, does that part get called?

[gaunt tide]

Lemme setup some more debugging stuff for that.

[grim ore]

if not you can quickly go thru this and see if anything clicks for the basic process https://youtu.be/WfF3fb0WaoY

I did exclude the drag and drop operation for the hotbar and inventory windows themselves but I didn’t think it would effect the other drag and drop operation of the items themselves

Measure it.

[cedar wave]

UMG is built on top of slate. UI is seldom the bottleneck in my experience.

Make your UI event driven and you'll be fine in 99.9% of cases.

And yes. Telling you to measure the difference is extremely helpful. It is telling you to get cold hard data about the difference.

Hi, I'm going crazy trying to understand one thing, if I have 2 meshes for each player, the first is a pair of arms for first person "only owner see" and the second is the full body "owner no see", let's say that I have a rocket launcher or a grenade launcher, or anyway a random weapon, how can I display that weapon correctly attached to both first person mesh and third person mesh? And then how can I show the rocket or the grenade starting from the gun(that's in different places due to the 2 separate meshes) and hitting the same place?
I've started thinking that maybe the best solution is to put the camera in tp mesh head but I get shitty results

[ocean grove]

Hey does anyone know how many different kinds of nodes there are in UE4?

Like a ballpark number.

[maiden sundial]

From what i know there are animation nodes, material nodes and the classic BP nodes

Also sound nodes

[ocean grove]

Oh no not categorical, I mean like total.

[maiden sundial]

Totally no idea xD

[ocean grove]

I'm drafting an email asking for more resources and want to emphasize the size of the blueprint scripting system.

[cedar wave]

1. Setup sockets for each mesh
2. Check which mesh is visible - set weapon on mesh accordingly
3. if 3rd person - use a point in front of the weapon, if in 1st person, do it however you want to do the 1st person style of shooting
4. Have an event that switches this stuff if you want to switch from 1st person -> 3rd person or vice versa

This is just off the top of my head. There may be better ways, but this should get you started at least.

[thin mantle]

@thanks @cedar wave, I suppose that it's better to avoid simulated physics then

[maiden sundial]

I've got a Blender related question.
If i'm making a SkeletonMesh via Blender, can i create the data for the PhysicsAsset inside of Blender, or do i have to do it inside of UE ?

[ocean grove]

There are 454 component categories listed in the Blueprint API Reference, but I couldn't find a list of all the nodes.

I am having an issue editing my terrain. Anytime I try to do any sort of sculpt on it now, the editor freezes completely for a few seconds. It is fairly large but not to the point that it should be causing this problem. I have disabled the terrain material entirely but that didn't help. At this point it is impossible for me to sculpt my terrain

I am going mad or did I see something about 64bit floating point being mentioned by Epic recently?

[dusky inlet]

That does seem like a bigger upgrade whew 🤔 I hope it's going to be a full upgrade that revamps those systems completely rather than frankensteining old parts with new parts with some oversights that just introduce compatibility issues

[thick herald]

Thanks! That was driving me mad 😄

[plush yew]

Do you advice getting comfortable with Blueprints before jumping into C++ scripting ? I'm a Unity developper switching to UE. Even though I know programming, I don't know UE functions etc yet, so that's why I'm asking!

[dusky inlet]

Personally yes that's what I did and recommend zelpal. Unless someone already Is used to navigating large codebases I think starting with bp is better because you'll be busy with unreal tools already, don't need to add c++ from the start

Does removing platforms from the Supported Platforms of the project do anything more than erroring if you try to build for an unsupported platform? Is there any overhead to having more platforms supported?

[floral mesa]

thanks for the reply

[rain crypt]

It's the tiling of one of the textures.
This might help - https://youtu.be/M2rOitk_I9g

[floral mesa]

@solemn hare you should make a decision early in development what you want to support.

the stick with your decision

and if u f up migrate to a new project

always have a backup

[solemn hare]

Sure but I'm asking specifically about if there's any overhead.

[floral mesa]

theres junk that you dont need in your code

to me thats overhead enough

if you want a neat file, dont keep trash in it

[solemn hare]

What kind of junk?

[floral mesa]

code that isnt being used

especially if its pushing out errors

that means the cpu has to think about that crap when it shouldnt have to

[solemn hare]

So removing a platform from the supported platforms list removes code? Even if I haven't built for that platform? Do you have any references about this?

[floral mesa]

the way im thinking yeah it removes code quite literally and no i dont have any references for that.

if im wrong i believe someone will correct me

[frigid herald]

there's an option to print to log

If you enable the mesh editing plugin (experimental) you can change the pivot position in the editor

[plush yew]

Hello

I'm using a BP from the Advanced Locomotion System Pack

It has crazy awesome stuff for animations but there is also 2 little BP very handy to place objetcs

I use very often, for example, the BP called "SimpleObjectBuilder"

It allows to place object and change it runtime, without drag and drop again, keeping the root position of the component

It allows also to change colors of the material

All this is in the Construction Script, here :

Though, I use my own materials and because this settings are related and inseparable from a material of the ALS pack, which has these settings in the BP, this settings is useless for me

So, I was just wondering...

Does having some useless code like this in my game may have a bad impact on performances ?

I guess it's not a big deal if there is just a few but if I do this for many things ? ... 🤔

[floral mesa]

sometimes its a tradeoff, like ill surigally remove something in an attempt to rid myself of things i dont need and break the asset im using because i broke some reference or whatnot. i think its best to work as clean as possible, but in an instance like yours where you dont want to risk breaking an asset you didnt build, it may be better to leave the redundant stuff as is. i think the worst that will happen is slightly longer compile time, but hey i could be wrong.

@plush yew one thing i love to do is make a copy of my project and see what happens when i delete stuff i dont need, then when i break it, which i will, ill learn why

[high jackal]

Anyone know why alpha on my texture won't work?

If i plug in RGBA to base color it doesnt work

Glasses should be translucent

I have a separate texture for the glasses as well if that helps

Ive tried a few things but end up with weird results lol

Couldn't get it to work in blender either

[floral mesa]

plug rgba in to opacity mask

[high jackal]

no change and that is also grayed out

if i changed Blend mode to masked:

lolol

[floral mesa]

change the blend mode to masked

ok

so you packed that texture in hopes to optimize best you could and make your whole character have one texture map right

[high jackal]

I used Blender Send to Unreal

the plugin from Epic

Texture came that way

[floral mesa]

yeah i heard of it havent used it

yeah its packed on one atlas

[high jackal]

I think i know what I can do

[floral mesa]

you could create all mats in engine then merge them when youre done

thats another approach

[high jackal]

Hmm ok

I think im gonna modify the glasses texture first and use it as alpha

[floral mesa]

since youve done all this setup though it would be nice to know how the workflow goes

These are ripped from The Sims tbh

Ok, I take note. thanks

[plush yew]

and good tips 😉

Interesting.. A guy on another discord I asked this answered : « as far as I know, unused nodes are not computed so the only "performance" issue is wasted space in the files themselves »

He is not sure though. But if it doesn't impact performance indeed, it would be cool 🙂

[floral mesa]

hes right though i mean if its not used it doesnt compile so you dont even need to compile it

but if a node is setup and being used

because you didnt want to unhook it

it will compile

you may not be using its functionality but its still there

[plush yew]

@floral mesa Ah you think he was talking more about a "totally inactive code" (because disconnected), right ? So in this, I easily understand that is does not impact performances, yes. But I think it's not the same thing like having an "active code" (like those I showed just up above), used but useless in the same time, right ? 🤔

[floral mesa]

exactly what i mean, a matter of what is active and what isnt

because if its just an inactive node sitting there you could just delete that anyway and nothing will happen

its not being thought about at all

thats the way i see it

in your specific case look at the time it takes to compile the bp. and if its fast enough, which is dependent on the project but ultimately up to you, then just roll with it like that. dont even bother deleting stuff unless you do it in a copy, which has the benefit of teaching you something and revealing what you can /cant get away with in your project

Just trying to see how udims work in unreal engine 4.26, so i enabled virtual textures in project setting and clicked on restart now but, I am stuck on 39%, nothing happens after that, please anybody can help me out with this.

[autumn grail]

Hello someone have a good tutorial to make volumetric clouds that i can go through and see them when i'm higher than it please?

[dim arch]

@violet goblet your lerp alpha needs to be a scalar, try plugging the red channel instead of RGB

[violet goblet]

@dim arch my problem with "lerp" is, when i try to plug the output to "DetailTexturing"->DetailNormal", it says:
"Float is not compatible with Texture2D"

[dim arch]

ah my mistake

yeah it needs a T2d input

[violet goblet]

does it even make any sense to use "DetailNormal" for cloths?

[dim arch]

yeah you can use it, but usually the normals get baked in substance or something

the detailtexturing node doesnt have a mask, but you can add one, if you doubleclick the node it will open it, you can make a copy of the function and add a mask input

or if you just want to add details to the normal channel, use BlendAngleCorrectedNormals node

[violet goblet]

thats some great ideas
that "BlendAngleCorrectedNormals" just takes the normal map and add the detailnormal into it i think?

[dim arch]

yeah you can open the node to see what it does, it takes two normals and blends them so the angles of the surfaces are added together

[violet goblet]

Thanks so much! i will give both methods a try! 💯 👍

Error: Requested read of 4 bytes when 0 bytes remain in my map file when trying to debug

[open wadi]

I have a question.

I need to add an SSL cert manually via AddCertificatesToSslContext() - I've got a custom blueprint-callable function built out that calls FSslModule::Get().GetCertificateManager().AddCertificatesToSslContext()

But the param for AddCertificatesToSslContext to specify the cert in question, I cannot determine. The param type is an SslContextPtr, as specified here in the docs: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/SSL/Interfaces/ISslCertificateManager/AddCertificatesToSslContext/index.html

The code for AddCertificatesToSslContext() in the engine source can be found here: ./Runtime/Online/SSL/Private/SslCertificateManager.cpp

The code is simple, it simply iterates through the current RootCertificateArray and attempts to call X509_STORE_add_cert() with the passed parameter - however, I cannot for the life of me determine what parameter to pass to AddCertificateToSslContext() to specify my cert file.

SSL_CTX is simply a typedef for ssl_ctx_st, which is straight from OpenSSL. The raw docs for ssl_ctx_st can be found here: https://docs.huihoo.com/doxygen/openssl/1.0.1c/structssl__ctx__st.html

What parameter would I pass to AddCertificatesToSslContext() to specify the cert I want to manually add?

Hi guys, I can't select transparent objects in the viewport directly. I have to go to the world outliner to do so, which is very annoyingm is there a fix for that?

Nevermind, I found it :

[latent moth]

does anyone know how to get the STREAMING level name an asset is on? Get Current Level Name returns the persistant, I need the sub level.

C++ is fine

[open wadi]

@latent moth It's been a while but I believe you can't, I used tracking variables for that purpose.

It always returns the primary persistent.

So I declare vars in a custom GameInstance for that purpose so they stay persistent throughout the project and track what sublevel I'm on.

So for example, every time you load a stream level, you cast to GI and set a string to the name of whatever sublevel you're loading.

Your GPU was lost for some reason (e.g. Windows tried to switch from onboard to dedicated or vice-versa)

[rugged dawn]

In Nvidea Control panel I set it to use nvidia processor so is there any other ways to force only my good GPU? Thanks in advance

[rugged dawn]

I disabled my built-in graphics card and it indeed doesn;t crash anymore when moving viewport but now I have like 5 fps...

[dense knoll]

UE4.25 os having issues with NVIDIA gpus

any idea why?

[fierce tulip]

works fine for me

[dense knoll]

After stream loading anything my games getting 2 fps on this dudes PC, and he has a NVIDA GPU, i got a issue with things not rendering properly from someone else who was on a NVIDIA GPU

[fierce tulip]

@rugged dawn I remember there being a post a long time ago where epic/nvidia where trying to find out how/why its causing that bug, but when I had that bug many years ago it was apparently time for me to buy a new gpu :/

[wary wave]

there have always been problems with UE4 losing nvidia GPUs, but I don't think the cause was ever tracked down as it seems to be largely spontaneous and impossible repro

I suspect it's caused by something like a small failure in the hardware that UE4 doesn't seem to be able to recover from, where other applications usually do

[fierce tulip]

in my case the gpu that got lost over and over died about 6 months later. if that happens atm i'd cry because i cannot afford (or probably obtain) a new gpu hehe.

downclocking it worked for a while though

[rugged dawn]

tried downclocking about 200 MHz but still had crashes. I have a temporary fix now where I force only my Nvidia card instead of both nvidia and internal. Nvidia control panel was overwritten by windows settings so thats why that didnt work earlier

Im hoping it stays stable for couple weeks otherwise I;m screwed for school

[wary wave]

forcing to use only the Nvidia card seems like the right thing to be doing

[violet goblet]

when a "character" (skeletal mesh) consist of "body" and "jacket" + "pants"
do i have to "combine" the mesh in the 3d-software, or does ot make sense to import each as separete mesh?

[rugged dawn]

If you have skinned all parts separately you could combine them, if you need to target a specific part in blueprints or if you want to be able to swap out only pants fe I think you need to import seperate

[violet goblet]

great, thank alot!

so when i know th pants wont change, i can "combine" the meshes in maya and rig/skin them, and then export that?

[rugged dawn]

Yes you could. You could also keep them seperate in Maya and then export them into 1 fbx, then you get the option on import to UE for example to combine meshes. Then you can still decide wether to keep them seperate or not without working destructive in maya.

[violet goblet]

i must be blind ^^
where is that "combine mesh" in the import window?

oh...when multiple meshes are bound to the same bones, then the mesh will be autom. combined 😄

Does UE4 automatically adjust its screen resolution for a PC or do you have to do that manually?

[primal prairie]

i think it does if its on launch in fullscreen mode

[dense knoll]

then any idea why this is happening?

i feel like its related to the screen res

[primal prairie]

what is the issue?

honestly no idea.. bad drivers? old drivers?

[dense knoll]

its on a 2080 TI

maybe somethng to do with a bug with GPU particles?

guess its ue4.25 being ue4.25

[primal prairie]

do the materials use screenspace uvs or anything?

[dense knoll]

Can AMD PCs package a game that can run on NVIDIA GPUs

[primal prairie]

possibly, im still on 4.24

[dense knoll]

Nope

[primal prairie]

yes i cant see why not?

everyone has different hardware

[dense knoll]

then it shouldnt be doing that

[primal prairie]

you might be better off asking on the forums

and hoping an expert in this sorta stuff chimes in

[dense knoll]

the forums rarely awnser my questions

[rain crypt]

Should look here then? https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BuildingWorlds/LevelStreaming/WorldBrowser/index.html

[wanton lotus]

Have you tested this theory? You can troubleshoot that pretty easily by having it tested in multiple resolutions. First make sure the video settings between both machines is identical. With identical settings and if the test still fails, then you know it has to do with the GPU itself or some other hardware difference between the two machines.

[sonic pagoda]

If thats a UMG element that is offset is has to do with screen size, and nothing to do with nvidia/amd gpu

[plush yew]

how can you say that just os

ue5 demo run at 60 fps or? so if cp runs at +120 fps on same system. then yes, we can say that ue5 looks better

FPS doesn't translate to quality, hehe.

now u saying epic doesnt know how to make a game engine

@wanton lotus

[wanton lotus]

Epic makes a great game engine. I'm simply saying that low FPS doesn't mean a quality game. I can go make a ton of things run on tick right now and that would give low FPS.
