do we need to recompile the entire engine every time we clean a project? I literally cleaned up only my project in an attempt to avoid false intellisense errors and the whole engine is recompiling along with my project for the second time today, even with Build Startup Project (UnrealVS) lol

#

by the way, did you guys have problems with Visual Studio 2022 intellisense in unreal? while 2019 worked normally, 2022 keeps pointing out false errors and delaying the work

Never build the whole solution, but the UE5 project. Also if you already have a game project, build that instead for even faster times.

I have tried doing Unreal work in VS without either VA or ReSharper.. and... I do not recommend it 😄

#

yeah just realize if you build a new project with source build, there might be modules not yet built because you're only rebuilding your existing project

#

i prefer to rebuild ue5 everytime, but i usually leave that going overnight

scenic mauve Dec 15, 2021, 8:59 PM

I stopped running into build errors ever since I started following the helpful Unreal Binary Builder bot that RyanJon2040 made to know which specific commit I should merge to before compiling. It's great, I highly recommend it.

Anyone else found that the transform gizmo likes to disconnect from actor origins when moving things around in the editor (5.0 branch)? Getting pretty damn annoying. Haven't tried looking through git history yet to pinpoint the commit, might end up having to...

#

Almost seems like a precision issue... occasionally the actor's origin just snaps to a slightly off position. Even on an axis not being edited. Super weird.

Hey there, I'm having trouble compiling UE5 Main from source on Windows 10, specifically the UnrealBuildTool keeps failing to compile, citing missing packages that Nuget says are incompatible with the project file when I try to add them manually. I'm using Visual Studio 2019, and followed the install steps in the readme. I've successfully run Setup.bat, but running GenerateProjectFiles fails when UnrealBuildTool fails to compile. I'll paste an error log below, thank you in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Cheers!

Which branch to get?

eager hedge Dec 16, 2021, 8:10 AM

#

e. none of the above
If you're using 5 from source, you should be using the 5.0 branch.

#

ue5-early-access is dead. ue5-main is technically 5.1 and super unstable.

uncut vigil Dec 16, 2021, 8:11 AM

#

Is the geometry scripting stuff in the 5.0 branch?

eager hedge Dec 16, 2021, 8:12 AM

#

I don't know what stuff you're referring to, but probably. I don't know that many major features have made their way into ue5-main without being in 5.0 yet.

interesting multi GPU commit https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/3494f1b04e0a6a5e959e50b409894b002e7bfc8b

static copper Dec 16, 2021, 2:02 PM

#

Multi gpu was going to be a thing 10 years ago for offloading certain features like physx debris

#

What happened???

#

This is from a consumer standpoint, mind you

echo ravine Dec 16, 2021, 2:05 PM

#

static copper What happened???

Two things happened:

it's very hard to support two GPUs because you can't share data quickly, so you can't easily tile your rendering or alternate frames (because of temporal effects and input lag)
there's a 2x faster GPU at around 2x the cost until you're flashing $3K on your PC

static copper Dec 16, 2021, 2:06 PM

#

Yeah, it always seemed like the only way it was going to happen would be having your older gpu get demoted to physx goo sim duty

#

A sad end

echo ravine Dec 16, 2021, 2:07 PM

#

No one other than Nvidia wanted that to happen, though

static copper Dec 16, 2021, 2:08 PM

#

True

robust wyvern Dec 16, 2021, 2:50 PM

#

mGPU for consumers is dead anyway?

#

Mostly a pro market feature? sims, architecture, theme park and what not?

I remember when people were doing dual GTX 660 and such, good luck even getting one GPU nowadays, and let's not talk about prices

While running GenerateProjectFiles.bat, the batch process fails at compiling UnrealBuildTool. I've opened UnrealBuildTool in VS2022 & grabbed the error log from the build failure there.

I pulled the source from a fork of the Epic Repo, using the 5.0 branch

uncut vigil Dec 16, 2021, 6:54 PM

#

I had made a fork based of the Unreal Engine repo, which defaulted to the release branch when I pulled, so I switched to the 5.0 branch

#

Haven't done forking before this, is it possible to fork based on the specific branch and not the "master"?

#

That way I don't have to switch branches after pulling, and can only pull the branch-relevant data?

#

No idea what I'm doing wrong. I've tried going through and adding the missing dependencies in Visual Studio but Nuget states that the project is incompatible with those dependencies and aborts installing them.

#

I've tried it via Github Desktop as well as just downloading the code directly from Github, though it's worth noting that downloading the 5.0 branch directly from Github is missing the project build stuff like Setup.bat and GenerateProjectFiles.bat

If you're gonna try to build UE5 its worth taking a look at #ue5-general message so that at least you know your build will compile successfully. However that being said, its still VERY LIKELY that the unreal editor will crash while using it. All it takes is one minor change like ticking a checkbox to trigger an error simply because all of this stuff is still under active development and is considered unstable.

Hey people, I finally managed to made almost end of the building process. I can open the engine, but when I open example projects such as third person project, it crashes. I can create empty projects too. But in the end of the compiling I got these errors. I'm really confused, did it compiled or not?

#

#

I built the engine through Unreal Binary Builder.
https://github.com/ryanjon2040/Unreal-Binary-Builder

eager hedge Dec 18, 2021, 8:47 PM

#

UAT can optionally build a base DDC when compiling the engine, that's probably what that is.

#

Primarily useful when making an installed build.

quiet acorn Dec 18, 2021, 8:48 PM

#

Thanks for the answer. So what should I do about it?

chrome ingot Dec 18, 2021, 8:51 PM

#

we cant see an actual error there

eager hedge Dec 18, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

Ye, that was an answer to lorash's "this is one weird compilation output". I have no idea what the error is because there's nothing in the bit you posted that says what the issue is.

quiet acorn Dec 18, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

I see. Yeah I was looking for something that might tell about what the issue is but couldn't find any. (in the logs)

chrome ingot Dec 18, 2021, 8:55 PM

#

are you looking in the logs for the project?

quiet acorn Dec 18, 2021, 8:58 PM

#

No, the log that the software provided.

chrome ingot Dec 18, 2021, 8:59 PM

the project should have it's own saved log once you run it and it crashes

I found this. This log is from the project that I tried to create within the launcher.

well that error is if you compiled the latest 5.0 release, did you do that?

#

if you did this was mentioned above, its an issue with the latest build. You can comment out that line, or go back to before it was introduced

This was the one I compiled

I guess I will need to recompile again then. Thanks!
Do you guys have any recommended commit from 5.0 branch?

chrome ingot Dec 18, 2021, 9:14 PM

#

I commented it out, no issues so far

slim ingot Dec 18, 2021, 9:14 PM

That's the same line I'm having problems with. That method is being called from the Render Thread and failing causing a crash

its not much pain lol

this was very minor for 5.0

quiet acorn Dec 18, 2021, 9:19 PM

No I mean I woke up regularly yesterdays night, I got couple of problems and had to fix them and recompile them again and again

if I recompile it, would it make it or simply fail

if you just hit compile it will just fix the issue

How can I manually avoid compiling anything other than Win64?

Is there a guide for that?

chrome ingot Dec 18, 2021, 9:25 PM

dont install the dependencies for it?

like its not going to compile android by default if you didnt install those requirements

quiet acorn Dec 18, 2021, 9:26 PM

I just downloaded the zip from github, run the setup.bat and the rest is done by the builder

thanks

One last question, I made the changes so should I just press build and will that do the rest?

right click the UE5 and hit build

quiet acorn Dec 19, 2021, 9:20 AM

Hi people. I'm about to run setup.bat and made some search in the Discord to find list of dependencies that I can ignore.

-exclude=WinRT -exclude=Mac -exclude=MacOS -exclude=MacOSX -exclude=osx -exclude=osx64 -exclude=osx32 -exclude=Android -exclude=IOS -exclude=TVOS -exclude=Linux -exclude=Linux32 -exclude=Linux64 -exclude=linux_x64 -exclude=HTML5 -exclude=PS4 -exclude=XboxOne -exclude=Switch -exclude=Dingo -exclude=LinuxArm64 -exclude=Templates -exclude=Debug -exclude=LeapMotion -exclude=Lumin -exclude=Win32 -exclude=HoloLens

Yet I still get 10gb of file to download. Is there any other dependencies that I can add to the list in order to have smaller size? My internet speed is not the greatest. (I only need Win64)

It's checking if it should render cloth on mobile and it's reading it from a console variable which triggers the game thread check

If you follow the callstack a few steps back you can comment out the mobile check

Besides that it seems relatively stable

Hello!
Recently, I have been looking at some documentation and videos on Unreal Engine 5, and compiling a source code Unreal from GitHub.

For a certain project, I need the specific "Unreal Engine 5.0.2" version, and no more than that, so I tried looking for it on GitHub, but there was no place for it, so I decided to wait for it, till I saw that some people got it, so I would like to ask if anyone knew how could I get it.

Really, thank you so much for reading this, and if possible, helping me. Have a nice day!
(PS: Sorry if its really a noob error. Just started introducing myself to this cool world.)

eager hedge Dec 20, 2021, 1:14 AM

#

There is no such thing

#

Are you talking about EA2?

#

If so, you want the ue5-early-access branch. Which isn't really recommended, it's months out of date (but UE5 as a whole is not stable to build anything on right now anyway).

lofty idol Dec 20, 2021, 1:35 AM

That's... 5.1.0. Not 5.0.2. Because 5.0.2 doesn't exist.

#

if you want the latest version of 5.0, do what blue man said and build 5.0.

#

5.1 is something that basically no one should be using as 5.0 hasn't even been released and as such 5.1 is even more unstable.

lofty idol Dec 20, 2021, 2:05 AM

#

zealous yarrow Build 5.0

Perfect, so building this: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/5.0, should give me 5.1.0

eager hedge Dec 20, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

No. Building ue5-main will give you 5.1.0.

#

Building 5.0 will give you 5.0.0.

#

You should not be using ue5-main unless you know what you're doing.

#

But if you want to build something incredibly unstable, then ue5-main will give you 5.1.0.

zealous yarrow Dec 20, 2021, 2:06 AM

#

Building ue5-main gives you 5.1 which should not be used
Build 5.0 if you want 5.0.x, which is relatively stable (relatively)

lofty idol Dec 20, 2021, 2:11 AM

#

Alright. Really, thanks a ton to you, Blue Man and Siliex for helping me with this!

#

also 5.1 seem to load 4.26 projet without any bug and without trying to convert it.

#

very impress by the 5.1 so far.

primal night Dec 20, 2021, 6:01 AM

#

Thank you for the feedback! I used Sentry.io for capturing crashes from the app. GameAnalytics is optional and if you feel uncomfortable, I can totally remove it. No issues 🙂. Feedback from users is what ultimately helps me to improve the app too and to be frank I barely get it. If no one is willing to say like what you said, there is no room for improvement at all.

The first tab (as you guessed) exposes all the settings for Setup.bat. The Start button first starts the Setup.bat with the options you set. Once it is done, it will start GenerateProjectFiles.bat and after that it will check if AutomationTool exists and if it doesn't, the app will build it for you automatically (provided Build Automation Tool is enabled). Once all this is done and you enabled Continue to Engine build it will straight start Engine build process. So in your case it looks like you don't need to go through all the Setup.bat process so you can simply go to Compile tab, set the options there and press Build Unreal Engine. To zip a minimal build, go to the zip tab, provide a zip location, set your zip options (uncheck all the options) and you are done. Oh and the tooltips can go wanky sometimes and it can either be a dotnet issue or something wrong with the framework I'm using.

I'll probably redesign the UI and remove all the tabs but then it might get congested too 🤔

#

And if you have any more questions or feedback, feel free to ping me on UBB discord (I think its better to move there) and I'm more than happy to help you out 🙂

5.0EA2 (the "preview" version) is not the same as 5.0. No one should be recommending ue5-main (5.1) for general use whatsoever - it's unstable and assets created with it are unlikely to be compatible with 5.0 due to it being from a newer branch.

#

5.0 hasn't even been stabilized and released - if you want to jump on the even newer and less stable branch go for it, but don't recommend it to others.

Problem Using Unreal Engine 5 and Quixel.

I just build unreal engine 5 from branch ue5-early-access which should be the same as the launcher version as per documentation.
When I now try to open quixel with add assets quixel shows me that it is in offline mode.

Ah haven't ran into those yet, we've been mostly just developing and testing in editor so probably why
1 thing that they did break is some of the control rig nodes, specifically "select" node, basically for example if the input pin is FTransform and you expand it and connect something to the translation sub pin it's gonna fail to copy the values internally because it "thinks" you connected it to the main transform pin

It seems like there were some changes to the ctrl rig virtual machine which broke this

Hello!
I am currently using Unreal Engine 5.0.1, and trying to create different chunks using "IO Store". I enabled the option to allow ChunkID assignments, so I added a texture and added it to the "pakchunk13" id.

When I packaged my project, I only got normal pakchunk0-Windows files, and not the "pakchunk13-Windows" that I should have got. So, does anyone know if that is a bug, and if it is an error (highly probable), does anyone know how to fix?

I guess I'm not as lucky as you right now lol
1 - I clicked Select Unreal Engine Version, the engine was already selected but I clicked OK anyway. (Source build at G:\UE5)
2 - Opened the project in Visual Studio, clicked project name in Solution Explorer and clicked Build
3 - It did build the project succesfully but I get the same error when I try to open the fresh project.

@lone hawk If I use an early access branch that's actually stable could I just keep using it after release if the main branch is broken?

The newest UE5 Git build is a massive regression, pretty worried the engine will release and the early access version I have that works perfect will no longer be allowed.

It's not regression, the whole thing just isn't ready for production yet.

feral turtle Dec 22, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

It is ready for production in the project I have. It went from ready to hit the release button to completely broken. I can package the game and the server, upload it to my launcher, patch, everything works properly there's literally nothing stopping it from being production ready on the early access version I have.

#

It connects to Gamelift/AWS and Xsolla, there's nothing missing.

shadow birch Dec 22, 2021, 6:00 PM

Welp, Epic didn't formally released stable version of it yet, but eh, you take your risk 🤷

Git version is like 5 times the size of EA2.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:05 PM

that is the same as the launcher build...

#

not going to lie, you just built that for nothing 🙂

lilac narwhal Dec 22, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

16GB from launcher

#

~100GB from github.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

Yes that is how stuff works working with raw data.

lilac narwhal Dec 22, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

GrassType is broken in EA2 so there's no way to stay with it.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:07 PM

#

you need to find a stable build on 5.0 branch then.

#

search thru commits, find one.

lilac narwhal Dec 22, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

But my question is what can I delete to get the size down? I know a lot of it isn't needed to keep afterwards, such as most of the stuff in Source folder.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

~7 days line 586 i think it is console error bug.

#

you still not understanding what I am saying. If you look at the release date of EA2, and the Updated github date. You will notice they are the same dates.

lilac narwhal Dec 22, 2021, 6:13 PM

#

I got 5.0 from 14 hours ago.

feral turtle Dec 22, 2021, 6:15 PM

I wouldn't mess around deleting files in the engine if I were you. If you have to delete something delete the intermediate folder

sorry i thought you built this 🙂

feral turtle Dec 22, 2021, 6:16 PM

The current engine build isn't that useful though
I recommend this:
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-early-access

instead of these:
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-main
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/5.0

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:17 PM

#

i dont recommend the launcher version... lmao which is https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-early-access

feral turtle Dec 22, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

Then what do you recommend? The other 2 are doa

lilac narwhal Dec 22, 2021, 6:18 PM

Afaik 5.0 Main would be 5.1 which wouldn't be compatible with the final 5.0 on release.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:18 PM

https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/ue5-main is the future dev. https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/tree/5.0 is building up to ue5 release in july.

5.0 is just as broken though, the lighting doesn't work

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:19 PM

Nothing guarantees to work. This is why this is not recommended.

How do you know? It builds and runs it's own project launcher just like the other engine builds and doesn't connect to the Epic launcher.

rancid kelp Dec 22, 2021, 6:29 PM

feral turtle The dependency download is 13gb, similar to the other branches

two months later. Which is four months ago.

Hello. I managed to build the Installed Build of the engine today. But I ran into a strange situation, I wonder if this is common. The classes I created are not loaded when I start the project again. For example, I created a class called DynamicTree in C++ and created a BP from this class and saved it. Then I opened the project and noticed that the class was not loaded.

If I hit the compile button and then try to open the blueprint then it's fine. Do you also have such a problem?

#

can someone help me out? I get this build error after trying to run the editor through VS. The file is there and I started the engine through that file but I did it yesterday again and it was no good 😄

#

because after I run the Unrealeditor-cmd.exe the engine boots up but then the .exe just completely disappears. Also, I am unable to open a previous UE5 project.

#

the editor is closed

#

and I think the issue for VS is that it cannot link the UnrealEditor.exe since it does not exist

#

okay I would like to start the engine from VS like it is intended to be and written down in the install guide

#

i am following the git manual. its indeed not an "install guide per se but still haha

#

yes my main problem rn is that I don't get the engine to run in a way that I could open a uproject

#

then I get this

rancid kelp Dec 24, 2021, 3:57 PM

#

cold elm then I get this

Open the project up in the previous engine. Click at the top, tools, new c++ class, click next, next and then a sln should pop up in your folder. close project right click change engine to the engine you want. open SLN, then compile, delete c++ and delete the module line from the uproject . Run project, it will now work.

#

My original take was: get the source files from git, build the engine so that it loads up and then open the project with the engine (since you get the create project prompt where you can also select your project)

#

I didn't know that. Thank you for pointing that out haha. So far it only made a difference in the actual project as I never had to worry what was going on behind the scenes that much

#

okay its booting up

#

so I had to select my uproject again (although I started it via VS) then the engine told me that I had to rebuild the project since it was created with an older version of UE. I accepted and now I am presented with this

#

#

how do I do that exactly?

#

okay let me try haha

#

I have trouble understanding what this means. How do I invoke the automationtool? in the windows command? Sorry I am an absolute noob in this

#

yes okay

#

I have to replace this with the absolute file path of where the file is, right?

either way i get this

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

frigid warren Steven, go celebrate christmas

haha I can relax as soon as this is through 😉

#

when I try to run the AutomationTool.exe the command prompt opens for .1s and closes right after

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:43 PM

your supposed to run runuat.bat from the batch files folder, but you dont need to do any of this. whats the actual issue? your trying to compile source?

okay in short: I downloaded the source code for UE5 from git since I have found a bug and I have been told that the bug has been already fixed in a newer version. I followed the steps from the git page on how to set up everything. After building and all I open the engine and try to open my uproject but then it tells me that it needs to rebuild the project which it cannot do while the engine is running and tells me to build it with my IDE (VS) which I did in the first place to run the uproject

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

maybe im doing it wrong, I've never had to do that. I build the engine with VS and then I am done. It works just like a normal launcher version with any project at that point for me

#

@cold elmso how did you get the source?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

GitHub > 5.0 and then download as zip

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

ok and after unzipping the source, you ran the setup.bat file then generate project files.bat ?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

exactly

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

ok which target did you build in VS?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:48 PM

#

that should be the development editor, right?

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

well what did you do to build? like for example I right click the UE5 target in the solution explorer and build

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

I build the UE5

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:49 PM

#

ok and then you get that error earlier? that showed your editor didnt build. Does it build now?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

let me try again. Last time I got the error that the UnrealEditor.exe could not be linked. Then I looked in the explorer and it was not there. However, after a restart it was there. So let me try it again real quick

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

yeah you want it to be success on all process, the unrealeditor.exe should be in the win64 folder and you can run it from there directly to load the project browser

#

thats the goal

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:52 PM

#

so it opens the project browser which it did before as well. Let me try opening the project

#

so this is what I get when trying to open the project (MetaSounds_Project is the name of the uproject)

#

when I say yes, I get this prompt

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:53 PM

#

ok so this is a BP only project isnt it?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

it was until I added a c++ class because one user gave the tip to build the project

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

ok but the goal is BP only yes?

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

originally yes

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:54 PM

#

ok, you can open your .uproject file and remove the modules section to disable it back to a BP only project

#

if you paste your .uproject I can show you the exact part, or you can do it as its just pure json

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:55 PM

#

I can also just make a new clone from the original project (since I am using a duplicate for the new engine version)

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

you can try that as well sure

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

lets try again

#

I get this error now at 96% loading of the project

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 6:00 PM

#

ok that error is fine, its a bug with the current sourcebuild

#

if you open that file in VS, and comment out that line (use // in front of the line) then recompile it will fix it

cold elm Dec 24, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

okay let me try that. By the way I am super grateful that you help me out! also @ the others because I am helpless haha

chrome ingot Dec 24, 2021, 6:01 PM

it shouldnt take long to compile if you just comment, save, and build again it will just rebuild the needed file

rancid kelp Dec 24, 2021, 6:06 PM

#

quiet acorn Is there a practical way to change double to float in c++?

doubles to floats in ue5? floats are doubles now.

#

sorry invalid information

#

FVector and FRotator are doubles now.

quiet acorn Dec 24, 2021, 6:08 PM

#

Yeah, they turned into double and I was usually doing lets say float XValue = PlayerLocation.X but since X of the PlayerLocation is now I need to convert it

rancid kelp Dec 24, 2021, 6:09 PM

#

I dont know a thing about c++ i am sorry. I dont even know how i did it in the first place. (well i know a thing or 2 but deff bad at c++)

No worries 😄 I don't know much either, just learning

rancid kelp Dec 24, 2021, 6:12 PM

thats how i converted mine.. i have no idea what the hell i did.

quiet acorn Dec 24, 2021, 6:20 PM

I guess you just changed float to double. I tried static_cast<float>(DoubleValue) and it seems it compiles now.

A lot of control rig seems broken
For example with the "Select" node if it's type is something that has sub pins like (FTransform) and you connect something to a sub pin it won't work, it won't copy the value

Not sure if it's been fixed or not
I have a temporary fix/hack if anyone needs it

I would love to have it, when you get a moment of your time 🙂 I seem to love control rigs. you add what you need, and its done. The crashing with controlrigs is crazy as well lol, I swear. It might be some time before an actual fix

zealous yarrow Dec 24, 2021, 8:25 PM

#

Yeah it's pretty cool

I'll explain what you need to change in a bit when I get on my pc

This won't fix the crashes, just the sub pin thing on the Select node

rancid kelp Dec 24, 2021, 8:26 PM

#

that is a great start. no more reloading project and trying again

#

Some people don't understand that control rigs are the future of animation for most of what the character is doing. (warping)(IK foot work) (idle transformation)

zealous yarrow Dec 24, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

@rancid kelp
Open RigVMPropertyPath.cpp and on line 49 replace if(const FProperty* MemberProperty = StructProperty->Struct->FindPropertyByName(*PathSegment))
with

            if(PathSegment.IsNumeric() && !PathRemainder.IsEmpty())
            {
                WorkPath = PathRemainder;
                if(!WorkPath.Split(TEXT("."), &PathSegment, &PathRemainder))
                {
                    PathSegment = WorkPath;
                    PathRemainder.Empty();
                }
            }
            
            if(const FProperty* MemberProperty = StructProperty->Struct->FindPropertyByName(*PathSegment))

In short for whatever reason the select node pins are treated as separate FStructProperty while the property path is still being stored as like it's accessing FArrayProperty
This change is a workaround, it strips the array part from the property path

#

This won't fix any crashes but will make the "Select" node behave correctly

WPO support for Nanite won't be around for a few years (if ever). It's a complicated, costly operation to move around billions of polygons, and it might not simply be possible on current gen hardware or with the current Nanite algorithm implementation.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I kinda suspected that. What about pixel depth offset? do you think it could be supported for Nanite?

#

On second thought, lower poly meshes can still be converted to Nanite so maybe they can add wpo but with a warning to only use it with much lower poly nanite meshes.

#

Because advantage of nanite is no need to use lod so lower poly meshes can still work.

gilded pecan Dec 28, 2021, 3:09 PM

Nothing says it has to be pre-cull vertices. When nanite will support vertex animation, it is most likely going to take up a form of limited displacement, maximum of which is accounted for when calculating cluster bounds.

That assertion isn't the bug, commenting it out is a workaround and not a particularly safe one.

The bug is that there's some rendering code added that calls into GetPlatformValueVariable from the render thread... but that function is only meant to be used from the game thread. The exact commit that resulted in this is 678fa237478e18e0360cd211a56aa146f0f91129 which can be reverted as a safer measure (though you have to deal with some conflicts iirc).

gilded pecan Could you elaborate on this a bit? I'd love to hear your thoughts on Nanite vert...

Thoughts are pretty simple. You first have to figure out which vertices you need. Nanite already has per cluster LODing. So logically, you want to manipulate vertices only on those clusters, that are potentially visible and only on their current LOD. During cull pass, you just extend bounds of clusters by user-defined maximum displacement value. After that, you run categorization pass, splitting post cull vertices into groups, one group for ones not using WPO, and one group for each unique material that uses WPO. After that, for each such group you run a pass, and evaluate material WPO. After that, normal nanite pipeline continues.

gilded pecan Dec 30, 2021, 3:24 PM

#

past torrent Thoughts are pretty simple. You first have to figure out which vertices you need...

But wouldn't the continually changing LODs create a lot of visible artifacting in the WPO (especially at a distance), like it currently does with Vertex Color?
