Alright, this is weird. I reinstalled Windows and installing the prerequisites (bundled with the shipping build, using UE4) had a popup asking for installing net framework 3.5 . Yet, it is not in the prerequisite list, I thus refused to install it, and my program is working fine even without it. Is there a way to disable that prompt ? I want to install the prerequisites silently...

I'm launching a basic "UE4PrereqSetup_x64.exe /q" for installing the prerequisites right now

i am fairly new to unreal engine when it comes to developing games. i am wondering how to setup the splitting of .pak files. for example the textures go into their own .pak file and the music goes into its own .pak file. and not everything in the game would get crammed into one .pak file.

Check vsync, editor vsync (not the same), framerate smoothing max fps, and obviously performance

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:12 AM

#

checked all that everything is disabled

#

performance is normally ultra smooth, theres nothing in the scene xD

#

and it never drops below 75

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:13 AM

#

So what's the frame time for the GPU rendering?

#

Empty scene with no vsync or max fps should normally result in constant framerate

scene has few static meshes and thats it, I get this framerate everywhere in every map of our game. Game feels super smooth, feels like it can easily hit 150+ fps

#

but for some reason it never goes over 75

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:19 AM

#

Assuming all those unreadable numbers are in the 0.x range, yeah, probably a configuration issue

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:20 AM

Ini files perhaps?

vsync is normally something you always want

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:23 AM

set fpx cap to 150 and its never dropping below even in our biggest map with thousands of actors, noice

#

well, yeah but I kinda hate mouselag

#

we're making an fps game

#

it'll be an option though

#

so no worries 😄

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:25 AM

#

You don't really have less visual lag without vsync though

#

Your screen is still incapable of updating faster

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:25 AM

#

more fps feels a lot smoother imo

#

I really do notice a difference

#

maybe its just me though

#

feels much snappier

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:26 AM

#

There's zero difference in visual lag

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:26 AM

#

I beg to differ in terms of feeling

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:26 AM

#

In terms of physics, the visual lag is the same

#

You do get a lower input reaction time

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:27 AM

#

yeah thats the thing I mean mainly

#

looking around is more responsive

#

but yeah visually its the same

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:27 AM

#

Looking around will feel the same

#

Since it's literally the same

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:27 AM

#

for me it feels snappier 😛

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:27 AM

#

it doesn't

#

You get a 5ms edge in pvp shooters, so that part is real

#

(for a 75fps to 150fps bump)

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:28 AM

#

with vsync enabled there seems to be a slight delay between moving my mouse and watching my camera turn

#

without it's near instant

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:29 AM

#

🤷

#

Anyway, good that you found the issue

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:29 AM

#

yeah I can only say what I experience right? xD

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:30 AM

#

And I can see it's entirely in your head, too

#

(And arguably you do get some lower response time, half the time, for about a few ms)

#

Anyway, some people feel very strongly about that etc

plain lodge May 13, 2022, 11:33 AM

#

Yeah true, it's a feels thing lol

mellow bane May 13, 2022, 11:39 AM

#

FWIW the Valorant answer to this was to "simply" run the input stack multiple times per frame

#

Just need to do it 2-3 times and it negates completely any advantage of disabling vsync

yes since it's code and content so of course it will

and so will your own system

nocturne kayak May 13, 2022, 11:16 PM

Okay - solved the issue. You can actually Uncap FPS in a Development Packaged game with the console command t.maxfps <number> as normal. There was a Setting in my Project that was forcing VSync and Vsync caps the FPS at the Monitor Refresh Rate.

Is there any way to prevent user from overriding game .ini settings in their Saved dir? I mean, user currently can just create Saved/Engine.ini and change GameDefaultMap there, so game would start up with a different initial map.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:51 AM

I don't believe you easily can

#

Shouldn't be an issue normally

runic stump May 16, 2022, 7:51 AM

mellow bane Shouldn't be an issue normally

Why is that? This is a very wide attack surface.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:52 AM

#

The attack surface on a client is the entire program

#

Clients can always take full control of the entire game

runic stump May 16, 2022, 7:52 AM

#

This is an extremely easy to use vector. Even my granma can do that.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:53 AM

Pretty sure passing the map as a parameter works too, if you want easier

Launching a random map has no security implications

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:56 AM

#

Yeah, so that specific override.

#

Anyway, if you want to control what the client does you need dedicated servers

runic stump May 16, 2022, 7:57 AM

#

I don't see any reason to prevent that via commandline if user can just do exactly the same via .ini.

#

anyway, understood.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:57 AM

#

I don't see either

#

I guess it's just to avoid an easy vector

runic stump May 16, 2022, 7:58 AM

#

But I believe that there should be a separation between "ini settings for end-user and ini settings for game developer".

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 7:58 AM

#

Well, there isn't one

#

And what you want is protection from cheaters

#

But you cannot have that on clients, no matter how hard you try

#

If this is a competitive game, you need to move to dedicated servers

#

If its not, you need to let it go

runic stump May 16, 2022, 8:00 AM

#

I'm fully aware of that. I'm also aware that it is worth making it harder to alter your game behavior. Preventing loading random things from .ini definitely makes it harder.

#

And UE almost has thing for this: UCLASS(defaultconfig), but for whatever random reason it only affects config writing, but not reading.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 8:05 AM

Users can easily edit the default anyway

#

runic stump May 16, 2022, 8:05 AM

#

mellow bane Users can easily edit the default anyway

No, they can't if you use pak signing.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 8:06 AM

#

Pak signing is also easily defeated

#

Just takes one guy with a debugger and everyone gets the key

#

There is literally a tutorial for that

runic stump May 16, 2022, 8:07 AM

#

"one guy with a debugger" is harder than "zero guys with a debugger"

#

I'm not saying its impossible.

mellow bane May 16, 2022, 8:08 AM

#

It's harder sure, it'll take at least a week to happen

runic stump May 16, 2022, 8:08 AM

At extremes, user just throws away whole your client and writes a custom program to talk to your game servers.

Sorry I don't remember the actual one, but you should find it with a quick look

#

Also do an audit of your asset references and package. Make sure you aren't packaging unused assets

#

BaseDeviceProfiles.ini

#

Copy the relevant sections into a file called DefaultDeviceProfiles.ini in your project and modify there

Hello together! I am not sure if this is the right channel to address this, but I have some serious performance problems with my shipped game. I think this is because the game loads too much in ram of the pc of the player (the game was very laggy for testers with 8 GB ram, but was perfectly fine and playable for people with 16 GB, both said that cpu and gpu cost was moderate but ram was high). However, as I played the shipped game on my computer it "just" needed 2GB RAM but uses 70% of the GPU. I sadly don't know anything about optimisation so I wonder if someone here could help or provide some useful tips what settings I need to take care of, or what are the most common issues that lead to high memory usage, so the packed/shipped game would perform better 🙂 Thank you a lot in advance ❤️

i did this in the editor, should i watch this in the shipped version? if so, how may I access the console there?
depending on where I am in the level the gpu needs 11 (desert) to 36 ms (near metahuman or glass materials or when transitioning between dark cave and light environment)

You should probably do this on a machine that suffers in a development package

#

And of course make sure to provide a settings menu with scalability controls

Anyone has experience with -CrashReporter not being packaged correctly when using profiles in ProjectLauncher? Seems fine when packaging regularly, but as soon as using ProjectLauncher and using -CrashReporter as additional argument it doesn't seem to work, is there a different way to do it?

When you use buildgraph it'll auto build this right after UnrealHeaderTool

Hi everyone, today got a problem when trying to build client/server game on crossplatform: server will be run on Linux machine, clients now for Windows only. We are using build system with RunUAT, building server on Linux, building client on Windows correspondingly. Boths builds successful, but when running game during connection we got some errors:
LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = NetChecksumMismatch
in client log, when creating character it fails and disconnects.
Builds are 100% made from the same source code and content, we are using git, and commit hash is the same on both client and server.
Anyone already had this kind of problem, any solutions?

Quick question: Does using engine content (e.g. basic shapes and WorldGridMaterial) cook ALL engine content into your app or only the assets you use?

Looking to reduce package size and wondering if that's a thing.

Hey!
I'm working on my game's dedicated server, and I was wondering, for a fully released game, how would you package your dedicated server? In what configuration (DebugGame/Development/Shipping)
Shipping strips the logs out, which is a very painful spot, especially for dedicated servers, is it ok, if the final build of the dedicated server is packaged as Development?
Of course, game client must be packaged as Shipping, because Unreal puts a lot of debug features in the game that you cannot disable for some reason.

None of the tutorials or documentations even mention this. UE4 - 4.26

inland pine Hello Everyone! Having this error after trying to open my built project. In UE4...

The WindowsNoEditor target was renamed just Windows in UE5

#

And the error is pretty indicative of not cooking

inland pine May 26, 2022, 3:04 AM

#

sswires to the rescue again

#

Perhaps i'm confused but I never had to do anything before building. I see the cook content button there but didn't recall needing to press that in UE4 when just testing a package.

Am I required to cook before every test?

At the end of the error it mentions running an uncooked build, which I assumed I was doing when packaging through project launcher with do not cook but I still got the same error.

winged moss May 26, 2022, 3:11 AM

#

Well your project launcher is building the wrong target for a start

inland pine May 26, 2022, 3:14 AM

The variant? Sorry not sure what you are referring to

winged moss May 26, 2022, 3:19 AM

Yes WindowsEditor would not be a target used for a packaged build

inland pine May 26, 2022, 3:20 AM

I assumed the default setting was packaging as windows which gave me the same error as packaging on windows editor, however I'm packaging right now with windows selected manually to see if it makes a difference

#

And with cook by the book?

(or other tools to analyse packaged project size)

turn off pak files and look at the regular files for one thing

Im not sure what or any additional compression is added at the pak file specifically, but it's not going to be a drastic difference

hmm could be that the packager is failing to notice that the material is referenced during packaging-- so when you run it at runtime, it tries to find it but it fails. You might try adding that material as a specific asset to package in the Asset Manager configuration and see if it solves the issue. If it does, then the engine isn't noticing it's being referenced with the way you are using it

#

I'm not suggesting that you add every single folder/specific asset to Asset Manager, but rather use this as a way to test that this is whats going on versus some other failure, like failure to compile that shader map during packaging that for whatever reason is not fatal

#

You should also look in your packaging logs for this material name to see if it is complaining about it

#

probably do that first 🙂

burnt remnant May 27, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

I'm fairly certain we don't use any decals

#

I think it was the discard-material-quality stuff. turning it off helped.

#

is there a way to set a default startup scalability level?

craggy cobalt May 27, 2022, 2:03 AM

yes, DefaultScalability.ini

burnt remnant May 27, 2022, 3:02 AM

#

I've tracked down the cause of a lot of problems.
I'm using the project launcher to build an APK
most of the time it builds then puts an earlier APK in the build target directory. I just changed the entire rendering scheme and rebuilt 14k shaders, but it just spat the old APK back out even though I deleted it.

#

I have to delete Binaries/Android to force it to send fresh one

#

like the apk modification date is still from this morning, its not even re-zipping it

#

that's intolerably bad

burnt remnant May 27, 2022, 3:23 AM

now it's not packaging 80% of the game

I guess that's why the black screen

the other is new, it says that there is a missing precompiled manifest for 'launch'

Unreal actually has a very good (but hard to find) tool for what you want. (UnrealPak.exe)
Navigate to your Unreal Engine folder, then find \$EngineVersion$\Engine\Binaries\Win64\, click the file path in file explorer and type cmd to open a command prompt from the folder...
Now type: UnrealPak.exe C:\%PathToPAKFile%\%PakChunkName%.pak -list This will list everything inside the pak for you with all the info you're looking for!
Just make sure you got -list at the end, or you'll override the pak and remove all it's content

Hey everyone! I have an issue with my packaged game. I am getting a LowLevelFatal Error about Async Loading. It is saying it cannot flush it while it is suspended. I don't understand. First off, I use blueprints. Secondly, I upgraded my project to UE5 (and I regret it only for reasons like this). Last, when I was packaging it wouldn't finish mentioning something about my Cinematics Master Sequence. I changed my settings to package only my maps and it works. Then I try to run my game. The first time it works then the second (and rest of) time I get that async error. Halp!

So what configuration are you packaging in? Or are you not packing and trying to open the editor?

wdym about the second question?

could that be some problem?

Maybe debug UATHelper and see what's causing the missing file issue?

what is that

#

oh

how do i debug it

mystic atlas May 28, 2022, 6:42 PM

I don't even know. You're packaging from the editor? Try seraching for : The system cannot find the path specified. and put a breakpoint there.

deft lantern May 28, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

yes im packaging from the editor

#

how else do i?

mystic atlas May 28, 2022, 6:43 PM

#

Searching in the engine source, that is.

deft lantern May 28, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

could it be that im using DX 12 and not 11?

#

the old project worked on DX 11

mystic atlas May 28, 2022, 6:55 PM

#

Might be. Might have to toggle a few things on.

#

I just solved this. For me, it was having, in project settings, DirectX12 (Sm6, Experimental) checked in ue5 v 1.0.0. If you have it checked, it won't currently package.

are we talking about build scripts or what are scripts in this context anyway

which will yeah screw up your build if there are dependancies

viewport, local and usersettings id say local

where they are, no idea depends on project setup

are these references to .uasset files?

or are we talking .ini setup files? python script files etc.?

open rapids May 29, 2022, 12:49 AM

#

tbh not sure, there should be a build log

#

it should tell you where that is on build

#

otherwise its somewhere deep in your install preferences

#

well depends, if using standard ue it should be somewhere in your prject files

#

if your communicating with the outside so to speak

#

it could be anywhere

#

this basically says something is going wrong, im falling back on defaults

#

which is bad generally

#

make sure your prject/bps etc compile properly and save

yes

#

thats weird

#

are you using hardware specific features?

#

only reason i can think of is if youre emulating features and than trying to 'run' em without the appropriate hardware

#

but that should give you an error in the editor

#

search for UAT_Log.txt in your project build

#

or erhm lemme see

#

#

that is for ue4 though not sure on ue5

it's just for Windows OS

Can't package in Unreal Engine 5 ( UE5 ) simple fix !

if you have problem packaging your game inside UE5 check this out. plus we will go through how to package the game when it says binaries are not installed , would you like to download them from launcher ? it is because of the plugins and in my case Nvidia's DLSS was responsible for it.

Scroll up to see an UAT command line after packaging, copy it, modify it, run it in a Windows command line prompt

Alternatively, don't use Lyra as a base until packaging it is better understood

Hey folks! I don't know much about Unreal Engine, but I'm a proficient Cinema 4D user. I'm currently looking for a solution that would allow me to preview 3D models via an online website (if not possible, then via local exe app). Is Unreal capable of creating this kind of app? I would also like to implement some simple features, like the ability to click on an object to see a short description. Perhaps something similiar to SketchFab viewer?

mystic atlas Jun 1, 2022, 10:09 PM

#

UE doesn't build to websites any more.

tender bison Jun 1, 2022, 10:11 PM

#

mystic atlas UE doesn't build to websites any more.

Oh, okay - thanks! How about an executable? Would it be possible to create this kind of simple app so the client can have a look at the models "live"? Maybe there already are solutions like this? I've been searching on Google, but the results are irrelevant to what I'm looking for...

mystic atlas Jun 1, 2022, 10:13 PM

#

If you want a model viewer, there are definitely candidates out there.

#

If you want a model viewer specifically for imported unreal uassets then you could easily make one.

tender bison Jun 1, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

That's interesting! If you know any candidates I would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction. General idea is that the assets are created in Cinema 4D and will be further rendered in Octane. However, I would like to convert the models (or scenes) to Unreal, which is supposedly very easy, and create a simple app for the client that would allow him to interact with the models to some degree. This would be a workaround for some complicated projects and would save me from exporting many many still frame previews.

That's the thing - I'll have to implement a way to highlight an object or create a pointing line with extra text description, so I need a bit more interactivity than just panning the camera around and zooming. I was hoping there might be some paid solutions/"plugins" allowing to do that, but I guess I'm out of luck...

Not much no

You can always try to disable literally every single plugin, follow the documentation's instruction on reducing build size, blacklist heavy resources

latent flume That's some BIG textures you're having then 🤔 Well, I guess the engine has gro...

That's not really big no, a single asset with 4K maps for albedo/packed/normal is going to be 50MB

#

Not really 30MB per texture but 20 is fairly normal

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:18 AM

#

I mean, yeah, but when the goal is to make a small lightweight game, having a 50mb exe vs a 150mb exe matters quite a lot

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:18 AM

#

Small lightweight games is not something Unreal does

#

And by the way I did say 140MB for the full project

#

The executable is not meaningfully larger than UE4 era

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:21 AM

#

mellow bane And by the way I did say 140MB *for the full project*

So, it's not the exe size being 140, but the entire project?

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:21 AM

#

The exe in UE5 after disabling unneeded plugins is about 90MB-100MB

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:21 AM

#

I have an exe of 170 while having literary every single plugin from the plugin menu disabled.

#

And the common guidelines for reducing the size are aimed at the apk, rather than an exe

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:22 AM

#

The guidelines are relevant any time you want to reduce the game size

#

As of 5.0.2 my shipping executable alone (just the .exe) is 92MB

#

Plus around 10MBs in other various DLLs, plus obviously the paks which include some ~40MB of base content after trimming it down

#

If your game executable alone in Shipping is 170MB after disabling all plugins well that's fairly weird

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:28 AM

#

It is weird. And the exe is 170MB in Shipping 🤔

#

5.0.2

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:32 AM

Here's a full breakdown for my title, including Steam, a custom crash reporter and DLSS (all of which are optional)

#

Or 115MB before the paks, ~150MB for a trimmed down empty project

#

Are you sure you disabled all plugins you could find n the Plugins menu?

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:36 AM

#

Yes

#

I've even created a new project and disabled all plugins there too. But again, 170Mb shipping exe

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

On Win64, 5.0.2?

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

Yes

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

Oh, let me guess, this is a Blueprint project

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

Yes

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:37 AM

#

For Blueprint projects Unreal packages a prebuilt game executable that's got everything in it and removing plugins has no effect

#

You have to turn it into a C++ one so that it'll actually link what's used or not

#

This is practical because Blueprint users don't want to have Visual Studio installed, but that's one side effect

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:42 AM

#

You're right. I have done nothing but packaged a c++ "blank" project and the exe is already 92mb

#

I'm so confused. It's not like choosing a c++ project disables blueprints.

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:42 AM

#

Yeah, sorry, should have asked upfront about Blueprint-only, common proiblem

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:43 AM

#

latent flume I'm so confused. It's not like choosing a c++ project disables blueprints.

The issue is that pure Blueprint means you don't need a compiler (because, again, you'd need to go to Microsoft to get tools to package any game)

#

it's good that you don't need it

#

Just also means that you don't have the toolset to rebuild a trimmed down executable

#

I guess they could detect that you have the tools and do the process for Blueprint targets but I guess anyone who's trying to optimize things will want to have some stuff in C++ anyway

latent flume Jun 6, 2022, 11:45 AM

#

My palm refuses to leave my face.

#

Like, I get why it's like that, but its just one of those "how am I supposed to know that?"

#

Thank you very much.

mellow bane Jun 6, 2022, 11:49 AM

Hey everyone, I have an issue with packaging for IOS on windows.

I've done everything in the documentation (https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/building-ios-projects-on-windows-in-unreal-engine/). The project builds successfully for ios on mac, no problem with the provision or certificate. There is no issue with the SSH connection between mac and windows. But when I try to package for IOS on Windows it throws an error saying "UATHelper: Packaging (IOS): ERROR: Unable to find mobile provision for TestProject."

Do I need to import the provision and certificate on windows too?

EDIT : To the people who are having this problem: Export your certificate's private key as a .p12 file on mac using keystore. Then you need to import the provision file and that .p12 file on windows. And you are good to go 🙂

You need to buy a Mac, and pay Apple for the notarization cost.

#

Apple doesn't think game developers should target their computers

mystic atlas Jun 8, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

Apple. It just works. Or not.

mellow bane Jun 8, 2022, 6:58 PM

#

There's a lot of good to be said about Apple in many respects but computer gaming isn't something they've been any serious at in the past 20 years - terrible GPUs, worse drivers, expensive requirements for indies. That they have their own rendering API is a footnote at this point

winged moss Jun 8, 2022, 7:29 PM

#

Forcing notarisation killed Mac gaming on its own

mystic atlas Jun 8, 2022, 7:30 PM

#

Notarisation? Having to get Apple to sign off on your stuff?

mellow bane Jun 8, 2022, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah, for a fee on top

winged moss Jun 8, 2022, 7:30 PM

#

Yeah it’s their term for code signing

#

And the cert has to be issued by Apple

#

Not like Windows where you can shop around for that

#

I worked on a Source engine game which was delivering 32-bit x86 binaries and rendering using OpenGL, all without code signing

#

So Apple effectively killed all of that almost over night

#

So in all, the lesson is don’t target Mac unless you have a good reason

#

Same with Linux desktop

winged moss Jun 8, 2022, 7:35 PM

#

Mac was actually higher and that was even more of a burden

#

Like 4-5x the Linux amount

mellow bane Jun 8, 2022, 7:37 PM

#

It'll depend heavily on the game, for us it was a space sim and loads of players are in the most Linux countries

#

3 people ever asked about Mac and there wasn't a Mac that could run the gam eanyway so

winged moss Jun 8, 2022, 7:38 PM

#

The M1s could probably run Sandstorm at a pinch but not the crappy old MacBooks with Nvidia chips

#

Which have equally bad drivers

#

It might “just work” but I think there’s a certain player support burden that comes with it versus relying on Valve’s work with Proton

mellow bane Jun 8, 2022, 7:40 PM

#

We found that most Linux players were happy they were getting something, very eager to debug issues, and likely to quickly find workarounds

winged moss Jun 8, 2022, 7:42 PM

While Linux users are generally more technically competent, it really is a burden to be providing bespoke tech support to a small fraction of the overall player base

Disable it and see what happens.

#

Complain to the maintainer or take a look at what it's doing on the mentioned line if that fixes it.

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has come across this error when trying to package in UE5
PackageSplitter found the Generator package still in memory after it should have been deleted by GC.
I believe it has something to do with using Level Instances in a world partition level, but I'm not too sure

hello

why is it that when i package my game

the console in the game still works

shouldnt it be off?

what is going on

winged moss Jun 10, 2022, 3:46 PM

fierce pebble i still have the console working

You are either are not doing a shipping build, or you've explicitly enabled the console in shipping via Target.cs

fierce pebble Jun 10, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

i didnt

#

its shipping build

#

i put my settings just like i would in ue4

#

when i test the game and press the console button

#

it opens

#

with all the settings

#

but the files are fully encrypted

winged moss Jun 10, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

Then like I said, it's either a not a shipping build or you've made Target.cs alterations to enable it in shipping

#

File encryption is kind of a waste of time but nothing to do with the console

fierce pebble Jun 10, 2022, 3:59 PM

#

but it is shipping

static prawn Jun 10, 2022, 4:25 PM

@fierce pebble could you unbind the console key?

Does anybody know the "best" practice (fastest but still working) for building your dedicated servers? Right now, we are using jenkins and the build times on our server is about 1.5hrs. If I build this locally using the editor, I run a much shorter timeframe for building. However, when building from the source (to make a dedicated server) Jenkins takes about 1.5hrs

#

""C:\UnrealEngine\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat" BuildCookRun -project="C:\ZombieSurvival\source\zombieSurvival_2022.uproject" -noP4 -platform=Win64 -build -clientconfig=development -serverconfig=development -cook -stage -pak -server -serverplatform=Win64 -noclient -archive -archivedirectory="C:\ZombieSurvival\packaged_server"

#

that is what we use on JENKINS, does that make sense?

weak scaffold Jun 11, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

pallid lintel that is what we use on JENKINS, does that make sense?

i think you can add -iterate to the build line to do incremental builds

pallid lintel Jun 11, 2022, 3:59 AM

Okay

I will try that

here's the thing tho. those functions definitely do exist. what in the world could be happening?

i got it. it was FORCEINLINE in the header file. the definition of the function was in the cpp file rather than the header file

hello!
I am trying to package a project on windows 11 to Linux platform but since the latest update I keep getting this error

#

I hope someone can help me because before it worked like a charm

#

I reinstalled clang v19 rebooted my pc...tried everything and still

open rapids Jun 12, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

So I have a problem. My game uses save references to save the players location every time they pass a checkpoint. Once the player dies they’ll spawn back at this spawn point. This transform is saved so that once the game is closed down and then opened again, they will spawn at their last checkpoint. This works completely fine in the editor version but not the packaged version. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

When doing automated packaging with flags like -noP4 -platform=Win64 -clientconfig=Shipping -serverconfig=Shipping -ForceUnity -clean -cook is there one that includes the prerequisites? It doesn't seem to include them by default

#

That or where to find a full list of flags would be really useful!

Looks like there's a -Prereqs flag (solved)

if not will anyone guide me to any proper solution.

Sure, just replace the executable

Chunk downloader isn't for game updates

Normally you would use your distribution platform (Steam, GOG, PSN, whatever) to deploy patches

hello slackers! i've been doing some packaging via RunUAT.bat but during the cooking phase the process gets stuck in a loop trying to cook some objects, and never progresses:

92 objects that have not yet returned true from IsCachedCookedPlatformDataLoaded

i'm gonna poke around in what happens in that fn ^, but does anyone have any ideas about fixing this? thx

#

some of the objects are from a in-house plugin, and some are from the engine

also Cooker has been blocked from saving the current packages for 120.000000 seconds.

Hey guys, something happened that's puzzling me a little. The guy in our studio that packages up and distributes our builds got this error but only when packaging for Android - our dedicated server built just fine. I thought I'd ask here, because it seems like it's failing to find a directory that is definitely there?

This is my first time around dealing with packaging apps for that platform, and I just thought maybe this kind of linker error is common, hopefully you might have an idea why it's happening in this scenario

you don't have the symbols for your game

#

the only thing you can kind tell is that it might be related to EOS

mild shell Jun 16, 2022, 11:19 PM

ok

#

that gives me something at least thanks

Trying to package for Android and I keep getting the java out of memory error...
Ive tried to have it rebuild Intermediate
ive tried to increase the memory in the engines gradlew.bat (I set it to use 5 GB in this case)
ive tried to move to a totally new project (migrating files obviously and replicating as much as I can in the settings, testing it was fine)
ive tried to clear physical storage thinking it may be the case (I currently have 20 GB available which should be enough)
Using the Launch option works and plays well on my phone

Ive gotten all these solutions by looking it up on the ue forums and none of them have worked for me and I have no clue why
here is my log: https://pastebin.com/g2k5asLy

Anyone knows what this is?

I get it on an empty level, not sure what to do

Anyone else ever got persistent packaging errors about nodes / files that make no sense? First one already is asking for an orphaned get noded, which is present in the BP and can be called just fine, i recompiled the BP and refreshed all nodes and still it throws the error. the others are also similar

im having weird packing issues where certain things are showing up in a packed game and not on the editor, has anyone seen weird packing issues? if so, which folders can I delete to see if it fixes things?

safe basin trying to pack eos to android , any idea what make it fail

yet again this is a cook log and is not the log from your game

safe basin Jun 18, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

winged moss yet again this is a cook log and is not the log from your game

i understand that it is cook log but it tell much info like eos failed to set

winged moss Jun 18, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

safe basin i understand that it is cook log but it tell much info like eos failed to set

this is nothing to do with EOS running on the device

safe basin Jun 18, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

mellow bane Looks like a completely successful build

yes the build success and the eos login doesn't work

winged moss Jun 18, 2022, 9:20 PM

#

yes so check the log from the device

#

this is not that

#

online subsystems don't typically load in the editor or for commandlets

safe basin Jun 18, 2022, 9:22 PM

#

oh so you are saying it fail because it is trying to be set in the console

winged moss Jun 18, 2022, 9:22 PM

#

what

mellow bane Jun 18, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

safe basin yes the build success and the eos login doesn't work

That's the packaging log, so EOS will never load there. You can safely ignore this log entirely

safe basin Jun 18, 2022, 9:23 PM

#

ok i understand

#

alright i will try to debug the generated apk

#

Is there a way to exclude entire folders from packaging, that way they are not included anywhere, basicly ignored for the final product?

misty fjord Jun 19, 2022, 8:52 AM

I generated a windows build, there's a regular folder which is 1.4GB (which is probably way too much) but then there's another folder called Binaries->Win64-> which I can then access the app.exe, is that the full build (it's about 440MB)? I've tried it out and it seems to be the same as the regular .exe at the front of the package folder

fierce pebble Jun 19, 2022, 9:30 AM

#

the binaries folder just contains that

#

the exe on the top most folder

#

is the one you should use to start the game

You need the entire thing, not just Binaries.

#

Make sure to not publish your PDB files (but keep them for debugging)

#

Follow the documentation on reducing packaged size, too

fierce pebble Jun 19, 2022, 10:53 AM

pdb files?

Accidentally removed but having this issue rn whenever I try to package. As far as I know, I have never installed the megascan plugin, and it isn't used in the current project i'm trying to package. Is there some setting I need to change, or something similar, in order to not have it require this? Alternatively, any way to reinstall the file it is looking for?

shadow storm Jun 19, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

ok so I think I have fixed all my issues and I am close to getting ready for release and was wondering which setting is everyone using? Is it true that if you encrypt you files your game will lag savagely?
