i would like to ask how precise or even informative are crash logs without .pdb and full debuggers? Here is example end of log part where crash began and what someone thinks. Just out of pure interest.

You'd need to run this through a GPU debugger, check with RenderDoc what happens, etc

#

Might be driver bug, might be engine bug

lofty idol
#

probably not the case here, but... if you get DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED error from other games, it can also be a hardware issue. I know from experience faulty ram sticks can cause device lost related errors.

#

though considering this is d3d12 related, 99% it's an engine error.

#

d3d12 is still stupidly unstable compared to d3d11

echo ravine
#

For UE5 it's 50% old driver / engine error imho

lofty idol
#

if you get device lost error I would assume you'd research latest/most stable drivers first before trying to dig in deeper.

shell mason
#

Is the ue5-early-access build more stable than than the current 5.0?

echo ravine

these current scalper/hi-prices/shortage times force you to downgrade GPU sadly ☹️

Can we get a moderator to pin 5.0 / ue5-main info? this gets asked multiple times a day.

hazy moat
#

Maybe rx 6600 or old 2060 6GB..... upwards begin terror prices. I hope Lumen will be extremely optimized to run on lower cards too as who knows how long these prices really last as some part of world gets affected energy crisis too now. Lets just hope it is just a driver, but i started to see this GPU hang with other games too sometimes(las 3-4 months)

You can set resolution scale to 25 on a low poly game and TSR will do a good job at upscaling (with a bit of sharpening).

Could you link to any example ? I'd be interested in that

lofty idol
#

when I say low poly, I mean textureless low poly. I don't have an editor in this laptop so can't post anything right now.

#

I found anything below 25 to be a complete mess, but 25 is serviceable.

#

Like I could hthink of ways to build procedural nanite mesh from code

lofty idol
lofty idol
#

it holds up in motion if you don't have textures/high frequency detail.

#

neither has any sharpening though.

#

I'd say for this kind of low poly art with high frequency detail* you need around 40 for animations to hold up in motion

opaque phoenix
#

hmmm

#

not applicable to me then. I am trying to get 60 fps here on a 1060 6gb with lumen. Currently have 70 with TSR on but it drops to 40 even without any geometry apart from the mannequin mesh (coupd be my code dunno)

Very stupid question from artist.
Do I really need to install all this software, have massive storage space and compile it myself?

Can't I just download someone's compiled UE5 engine version, and use it?

#

(not the early access version that Epic themselves forgot)

shadow birch
static copper
#

It's technically possible for someone to distribute their own build but unless someone else does that for you you need the full source

cinder spindle
#

@shadow birch Yes, I know UE5 being worked on, but Early Access is abandoned and very far behind in features/bugs.

Someone, who probably knows how to automate compiling + uploading, could just upload. Too many of you know how to do these things + have time/storage. I just want to click download, and then run 🙂

eager hedge
#

You can try asking someone to do it for you, but in general there aren't any public places you can download custom builds from as it would require verifying you've signed the unreal engine eula. Being in this server ostensibly means you have, but that's why there's nowhere you can just go and download it from aside from versions Epic themselves have released.

#

And frankly, if you're not in a position to compile it yourself you shouldn't be using a source build of 5.0 which is inherently unstable. Regardless of whether the more experienced people in here think current source builds are more stable than EA, most have the ability to troubleshoot and easily swap versions if they do run into a problem. As such, it's hard to recommend that someone who can't build the engine themselves use a 5.0 source build.
EA has been abandoned, but it was only ever meant to be used to show off the new tech while things get stabilized. If you're trying to build something serious, you should be avoiding UE5 entirely until it's ready and stay with 4.27. If you're just messing around, either stick with EA which has most of the new features or learn how to run a source build.

cinder spindle

😦
I am building the animation, not a game. If lumen works better, with increased quality/less artifacts, the source version would be better.

Not happy, but whatever. Couple more months in EA2

eager hedge
#

Real previews will happen eventually. Hopefully not too long from now but there's no real way to tell...

shadow birch

cinder spindle
#

@shadow birch But is Lumen in source builds better?
Full Path Tracer in UE4 isn't an option with my GPU. It worked alright for small product-shot scene, viewport laggy but movie-queue can deliver results, probably even slightly better than lumen, but for outdoors landscale it just cannot cope.

shadow birch
#

That is assuming your movie project can't wait for indefinite release date of stable UE5.

cinder spindle
#

@shadow birch You overestimate my "projects". I am learning, while making personal projects/rendering assets, I did some tests with UE4 RT and Lumen, and I found the performance to be a game-changer. Understanding how to build meshes/materials for is good.

Learning lumen now, because I don't see how it isn't going to be standard in the future. Maybe hollywood production will not switch, but for people who care about iterations/speed/flexibility/scene scalability making animations, no way you will want to work with vray or even redshift when UE5 can render 4k sequence within minutes.

If UE5 has both Lumen and future-RT (not for gaming, but for making movies focusing on quality, especially in translucent, emissive and volumetric), why would I need any other render.

So the thing is....
people don't make public builds, since as someone else said, it changes by the hour, and can hvae breaking things in it
Also added to the fact, it takes like 4 to 8 hours to compile at times
Then we have another issues, and would you trust a third party (like me) compiling the engine for you? I could (I AM NOT SAYING THAT I AM OR WILL, just trying to give a point of security :P) hide malware in it without you knowing it.

Hello world!

So as I go through this channel in particular i'm trying for my team to make local builds of the engine in order to distribute a tiny but efficient build of the engine compile from source.

Here's the issue: when I do that instruction from this msg:
#ue5-engine-source message

I get a working engine and all except RunUAT and all the project in Engine\Source\Programs\Shared\ do not have their compiled dll files which prevents me from doing pipelines and automations

I was wondering if anyone knew how to use my installed build xml instructions and transport automation tools binaries with it.

Right now my work arround was to take the binaries from my github source project and paste them inside my local build, but it asks for them to be recompiled when opening project (which I don't need but still, it bothers me)

If by miracle anyone got any insight on this, thank you, and thanks to anyone taking tine with my problem

(Not sure if this is the correct channel to ask this)

Hey im trying to use the CalculateDirection (animinstance) function in UE5, source build from branch 5.0, but its says I got to switch it to UKismetAnimationLibrary::CalculateDirection.

So I changed the function to that and found the include file in the docs online. But I get an error when building saying that it cant open include file. I also tried including the full header path.
I know the header exists as I found it by searching in the solution explorer.

Anybody got a solution to this or know of this problem?

Which branch? Some are less stable than others

chrome ingot
#

i used 5.0 last night on a new build and it worked fine, have you tried the restart the editor bug fix?

lapis yacht
#

Im using ue5-main as of last night @echo ravine

chrome ingot
#

your ui doesnt match mine tho so I am guessing another branch

lapis yacht
#

Kinda upsetting because i've been dabbing with this version for hours and this is the only potential bug i've came across and its a really big one :/

chrome ingot
#

so new widgets have this issue? after restarting fresh?

lapis yacht
#

Well i think they were adding this 'feature' and it ended up messing up the original graph is what i fear.

#

Because the UI shows on the widget icon before opening it up, and doesn't show up in the graph

chrome ingot

thats how it works in 5.0 and its fine

lapis yacht
#

oh so you guys are building on 5.0 not 5.1 :l

chrome ingot
#

yes, 5.0 should be the future stable release we will all get. main is the future branch for future stuff and not ever intended to be stable

lapis yacht
echo ravine
#

Real time work stuff

lapis yacht
#

Yeah i was told something else, so is the current 5.0 one stable? I'd assume

echo ravine
#

The least unstable one

#

People have used the one that's release staging or something

chrome ingot
#

I dont think Epic has actually said "here is what each branch is for, buyers beware" officially. People just go based on past experiences with 4.xx source

#

and yeah nothing is stable until a release, and then its not stable until a few point releases, and even then... well.. its software lol

lapis yacht
#

Yeah i'm needing to upgrade to a source build because EA2 has a few really insane bugs for my type of game that makes it very hard to debug on, but they're all fixed in the source build

Joining late so apologies if I'm missing context, but if you're on about 5.0 vs ue5-main the it's as follows:

  • Everything that's not tagged as a final release is considered potentially unstable, it's all "buyers beware".
  • 5.0 is the branch that will become the final release and all development intended for the 5.0 release will be in that branch
  • ue5-main contains work that would not be ready in time for 5.0 as well as having all the 5.0 changes merged back into it. There is no intention that main should be compatible with 5.0 which we make explicit by incrementing the version number in main.
  • More effort is taken to make the release branch (5.0) stable however no guarantees are made until the tagged release. We try to make sure issues are resolved quickly and the stability normally improves the closer we are to the actual release
  • ue5-main is right on the bleeding edge so is far more liable to be unstable. Efforts are made to keep the branch building and working but it is strongly not recommended for development unless you really need it
  • When it comes time for 5.1 the same process will happen again with main branching into a new 5.1 branch, all 5.1 development switching to that new branch and main becoming 5.2

For new people wanting a source code version of UE5 for a project the recommendation would be to use the 5.0 branch as that will be able to go into the final 5.0 release unlike work in main

Much thanks for the clarity 🙂

dry halo
#

No worries, I've mentioned it a few times in various channels so nice to have it more centralized somewhere

chrome ingot
#

do you have context for the staging and test branches as well since those are often asked about?

dry halo
#

Not entirely sure as I'm not directly on the engine team but I can double check. Normally though staging is a branch for doing integrations in, i.e. if you're bringing in some big changes from another branch you bring it into the staging branch, fix everything up and then when it's all good you bring it into main.

chrome ingot
#

10-4 🙂 It's always nice to be able to tell people why they shouldn't be messing around with the other branches when stuff suddenly implodes lol

dry halo
#

You shouldn't ever need to touch either of those branches, both are just part of internal processes and aren't actual development branches.

chrome ingot
#

shouldn't yes..... do people touch them? yes.... lol

dry halo
#

Yep just checked and those are used by QA as staging points to test changes from Release-5.0 and/or UE4/Main before it goes into UE5-Main. They're not intended for anyone outside of that team to touch so I'd recommend just forgetting they exist

dry ravine
#

are the 5.0 projects backwards compatible with 5EA ?

It seems a few things have changed and I am having a bit of trouble getting it to work without it modifying the ground

however that was a limitation previously and it didnt work, so you had to modify the material

make sure you rerun setup.bat just to be sure

shell mason
#

Ait, I will do that. Currently using UGS and I assume that uses both generate and setup?

My coworker is having the same issue tho, built on a different machine.

limpid light
#

How are you updating your sources? are you building from the Git repo folder or copying the files somewhere else? If you do the latter you can end up with duplicates when files get moved around, so you need to nuke the sources and copy over fresh.

shell mason
#

Downloading zip from Github, uploading to perforce server with recursive adding with -I -f in p4 (so no wildcards are left out) without running setup and generate. Then I get the engine form a stream branch and do setup, generate and build the engine. I also synced with UGS after building

limpid light
#

ok since you are using Perforce like me, here is the workflow I use (based on recommendations from Epic).

  1. Get latest source from Git
  2. I have a separate "Vanilla UE5" branch in Perforce that contains only the files from Epic.
  3. Start by DELETING all the files in your local workspace folder for that branch
  4. Copy over the files from step #1
  5. Reconcile changes and submit to Perforce. This is important since the P4 server now knows the delta between the versions
  6. Then I have a second branch to do merges. I do a merge of the latest main project branch into this branch first.
  7. Merge the Vanilla UE5 branch into the merge/staging branch. Resolve conflicts, submit changes.
  8. Basic testing in the merge branch to see everything works
  9. Copy (or merge, depending on how you setup your streams) the merge/staging branch over to main branch
#

(this is a rough list off the top of my mind)

#

I havent setup UGS set, its on my list 🙂 but good to see you are using it

shell mason
#

Ait thanks, will do that! 😄
Yeah, UGS is amazing!

limpid light
#

Just updated the list above, forgot an important step 🙂 you need to delete everything in the vanilla branch

#

This is important because Epic deletes or moves files around, and if you dont do this you will end up with redundant files or duplicates files when they are moved around. I suspect this is what is happening to you

shell mason
#

Oh okay, that makes sense

I know :), dx11 seems more stable than dx12 to me (dxr on and off both, aka all ray trace features). I just wonder how far Vulkan has gone, i have not seen any ue5 editor tests myself and not tested myself too until i see it can compete with DX.

limpid light
#

Isnt dx12 a requirement for raytracing?

lofty idol
#

dx12 without raytracing crashes a lot more and uses way more vram. the good thing is, crashes themselves aren't odd things like device lost errors, rather marked places where you can see //todo a mile away.

#

for about a month you could reliably crash dx12 just by changing screen res rapidly while lumen was running.

#

it's been that way since they've added dx12 in ue4 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

not something new for ue5

#

I've been developing this project since last summer in UE5, with dx12 forced on all the time 🙂 been fine here

Has anyone figured out the recent World Partition changes in the latest builds?

  • Its not clear how to enable WP in levels. Are they forcing either the convert tool or creating new levels from the WP template?
  • Gone are the options that select streaming options per actor based on location, bounds or set to "always loaded"
  • Is there any in-editor baking of the HLOD layers now? or still using the commandlet?
#

I'm guessing with the second its now implied through other things like perhaps the HLODs?

#

There is only a toggle now whether the actor is streamed with WP or not. That covers the "always loaded" option at least

guys, after fetching the latest commits for UE5 5.0 branch from github by doing "git pull", then running the GenerateProjectFiles.bat, I tried to build UE5 again in VS 2019 and instead of just building the cpp files that changed since my last pull yesterday, it is rebuilding the entire engine from scratch -_-

#

so, what is the right way to do this, to not have to rebuild the engine from scratch after each git pull?

#

should I not have run the GenerateProjectFiles.bat after the git pull? despite the epic docs saying that this is necessary?

eager hedge
#

building new commits generally results in most if not all of the engine being rebuilt

#

you're pulling in a full day's worth of commits if not more at a time - that's going to touch enough modules to require a full rebuild.

patent iron
#

thx, that´s quite disappointing. their docs say 10 to 40 minutes, but it´s more like a few hours each time...

It heavily depends on your computer. And whether you're building everything or just what your project needs.

I see. do I usually also have to run setup.bat after a git pull?

ok im gonna try, another question how much size does hold the ue5 compile, yesterday i started compiling and it was for about 2 hours and this morning i get up and found that there wasnt space on my ssd and there were 102 gb of ue5 and not finished to compile so i delete and had to redo everything with more space on the ssd

#

i have a i7-10750h 16gb and 3060 and its really slow, i know that the gpu doesnt do anything on compile

echo ravine
dusky basalt
#

really?

echo ravine
#

More if you have more platforms etc

dusky basalt
#

Lol! but if the early access were just 50gb

echo ravine
#

The early access binary without debug symbols, yes

dusky basalt
#

there is a way to reduce this? i have two ssd of 500 gb but none of them can get 300gb i have current projects of more than 100gb on assets

#

I need the Ue5.0 instead of the early acces 2 cause i have to convert things from ue4.27

echo ravine
#

If your projects are C++ projects, you can make sure to disable all unused plugins in your current engine, then clone the engine, and use the uproject's right click menu to associate to the new source

#

Then compile those projects

#

not UE5.sln

#

Probably just in the 150GBs after that ?

dusky basalt
echo ravine
#

No sorry

dusky basalt
#

ok just an annotation if i install the ue5.0 branch and convert the ue4.27 project to ue5.0 then i can use this project on ue5 Early Acces 2.0?

echo ravine
dusky basalt
#

We are a developing team of 6 persons and 300gbs are too much for anyone on their pcs 😅

echo ravine
#

Generally speaking you can only ever update to more recent versions with the exception of 5EA to 4.27

echo ravine
dusky basalt
echo ravine
#

You can also try cooking up an Installed build but that's a lot harder

echo ravine
dusky basalt
#

No sorry i mean 5EA1

echo ravine
#

You can never ever update to an older version so no

dusky basalt
#

so 5EA is older than 4.27?

echo ravine
#

Yes

#

5EA is 8 months old

dusky basalt
#

Didn't know this ok

I have the 5.0 branch and I have a minor problem while cooking. Mainly, when UHT recompiles at the start of the cook/packaging, tbb.dll in binaries is locked by the editor process, which fails the UHT compilation (that produces tbb.dll or at least copies it to Binaries/Win64)? Any ideas?

what am i doing wrong? every build of UE5 gives me this error if i try to disable lumen in project settings. I tried building the source from scratch in 2 different computers with different hardware (of course), one with VS 2019 and the other with 2022

#

I tried with 5.0 branch and with 5-main as well

#

everything else works just fine

#

UE early access from Epic launcher works fine...so the problem is I am doing something wrong

#

I also tried instead of git bash just downloading the zip file and setup and build files from there

torpid valve
#

nothing

#

it's just check() failing

#

it should work

#

or it failing because it's going to crash anyway

#

you can wait

#

my combination of hardware does not have this issue

somber iris
#

Thanks a lot

lofty idol
#

couldn't reproduce it later though

#

are you trying it on an empty project?

#

if you're building the engine with a specific project, the problem may come from level/project settings.

somber iris
#

I tried on another computer, totally different hardware and it does the same.

#

but its ok, as long as it works fine in the final official 5.0 version I'm fine with it. I will just leave lumen enabled to prototype

#

and yes, if i change the gi settings in the pp volumen it also gives me that error

#

I tried everything 😛

#

Ostensibly the modeling tools are supposed to be for that.

#

But the modeling tools are at times too complex for the kind of greybox workflow BSP has. Plus they're destructive unless you make a new asset every time you edit something...

#

fwiw cubegrid is awesome, but it can't escape the complexities of working with an actual mesh rather than BSP geometry.

#

Applying materials is painful if you aren't super careful about how you break up faces. And there's no easy way to optimize geo.

is it normal for ue5-early-access to build from source for 12h on external HDD USB 3.0?

#

its still building for me

#

and why?

#

because I want to learn to build from source

#

And I do it on HDD because on ssd there were heap space problems

#

ohh so it was the pagefile!

#

thanks

#

my pagefile was set to gigs

#

20*

#

because on my ssd there is 230 gigs left should be enough

#

and for 5.0 this would be problematic because my friend works only in ue5 early access on the epic games application

#

should there be problems if he works on this version and I work with 5.0?

can the stackobot project be opened on 5.0?

Unless you're cherry-picking small sets of files that don't have much "surface area" you can't get away from building pretty much the whole engine.

Okay, I finally finished building ue5-main and reproing the VR crash. XRRenderTargetManager.cpp fails on FXRRenderTargetManager::CalculateRenderTargetSize because check(IsInGameThread()) sees the wrong thread, while call-stack parent frames succeeded on this check. I don't see anything async going on that could've made the thread change in the midst of the stack though.

#

Does anyone here have preview-in-VR actually working in ue5-main?

(D3D11 on Windows at the moment)

crude owl
#

I think I figured it out- the task is actually asserting that it's on the render thread- then asserting deeper in that it's on the game thread

I may have successfully fixed it, but I'm not sure why it was broken or when

Here's a link to a patch I just posted in #virtual-reality to a workaround for ue5-main and 5.0 branch source users:
#virtual-reality message

This should get you back up and running until I've finished investigation, or an Epic dev gets back to me on what's going on here

If any Epic devs are present that can help me figure out why this code was introduced which breaks across thread boundaries in a destructive manner, we can solve this upstream. Until then, my workaround should help but doesn't address the root cause.

When sharing engine binaries with your team (on small projects) do you compile against the project (DebugGame) or build a development target of the whole engine?

It's the "latest", we are talking about it above, people tends to make a 10k merge and this kills gitsync

It seems LWC will not be optional

zealous yarrow
#

Makes sense since there is not much reason to keep it optional anyways

strong agate
#

I thought it would be since some folks here argued that the performance could be worse

#

It's probably fine for a modern cpu or consoles, but how about mobile?

zealous yarrow
#

Not sure about mobile but on a modern PC or console the difference in performance should not be noticeable at all
Doubles are in some cases faster and floats in others so in the end it shouldn't make much difference

#

@vale flame Crossposting is against the #rules

strong agate
#

I saw that Chaos and LWC uses some AVX optimizations to make it run faster. I wonder if mobile processors has an similar instruction set? Because yeah, I'm not sure as well how LWC will behave on more limited platforms

#

Specially considering that only a percentage of projects will benefit from LWC

zealous yarrow
#

True, yeah I'm not sure about mobile
Don't know much about mobile platforms so can't really comment on that

Pretty sure most tests show doubles being faster than floats for many operations (on the CPU side with today’s architectures)

Let me see if I can find that link before I eat my words lol

Hey, I'm noticing an audio issue with sequencer in UE5 source (apparently also in UE4.27?)

Audio inside of sequencer cant be synced properly anymore.
If I put in a 1:00 minute long clip, and I want it to start at 0:45, I will still force itself to play the whole 1:00 minute clip from the start of the source file.
This also happens if I start playing my sequence somewhere in the middle, it will play the audio clip from the start of my sequence.

Do any of you know a good work around or when this will be fixed? It is so hard to work like this.

Ok so does anyone else get crashes on launch for hardware raytracing? I've been debugging this for a few days and am very curious if other are having the same issue.

astral ore
#

Well..It gives you an idea of how complex your material is. But you can always check material complexity with optimization mode or nanite viewmode so I think it may not be truly missed.

crimson granite
#

Haha actually you're not wrong there

#

Lumin raytraces whether I want it to or not. Figured the hardware raytrace was faster than the software one?

#

Does it not cast rays...?

#

Interesting. So hardware rays are more accurate but slower?

#

Normally I think of hardware as being faster

#

I see

#

Sadly even with hardware raytracing off I still get the same crashes

#

But thank you for the guidance 🙂

#

Right I new that

#

Didn't realize Lumin did the same thing

limpid light
#

they've been doing some things lately to make the hardware path faster afaik

crimson granite
#

Lumen vs Lumin my bad

#

Now I see why you bolded the "e"

#

I just get DX12 shader crashes for bindings. Not sure why.

#

Can you run Lumen with raytracing turned off?

#

Interesting

#

Something in my specific project must be broken then

#

Maybe a corrupted asset through the 5.0 upgrades

#

Too bad the render thread gives me like no data on which asset it could be

limpid light
#

probably an obvious question, but have you tried making a debug build?

crimson granite
#

Yes, I made a DebugGame build of the editor, but for some reason it still had variables optimized out

#

So not Debug Editor?

#

Just Debug?

crimson granite
#

So I really want Debug Editor

limpid light
#

yes

crimson granite
#

Interesting. Even when running VS in admin mode Development Editor builds fine. Debug Editor throws errors

#

Down another rabbit hole I go lol

crimson granite
#

Building 1 action with 1 process... dotnet BenchmarkTool-Win64-Debug.target Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.

#

So dotnet is not working but only for Debug Editor...?

#

dotnet is definietly installed

crimson granite
#

`Possible reasons for this include:

  • You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  • You intended to execute a .NET Core program, but dotnet-C:\Program does not exist.
  • You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.`
crimson granite
#

It's almost like VS doesn't have the path to dotnet

eager hedge
#

No, it's really not. That you're getting those messages means dotnet is being run.

#

The command just doesn't make sense - dotnet commands look like dotnet <command> [arguments...].
BenchmarkTool-Win64-Debug.target isn't a command it recognizes.

crimson granite
#

Hmm

#

I see

#

But isn't that what the UE built tool is passing it?

#

I'm not calling the dotnet command manually. I'm just building

#

Interesting

#

Maybe this is a bug in the latest?

eager hedge
#

It might be. Would have to track down what exactly causes the dotnet command to be called.

#

hello everyone,

#

it's there a way to roleback UE5 version ? the last one is so buggy now I no longer able to start my project

#

and I don't really like what they did with WP they remove "Always Loaded" for mesh. They remove feature that was essential lol

lofty idol
echo ravine
#

Since that would require the file formats to never change

crimson granite
#

Looks like dotnet is just used in bat files

#

I have no idea why UBT is calling dotnet [some file name]

#

It should definitely have some other arguments in there from what I'm seeing

#

This is the only thing that looks remotely sus

#

Uhhhhhhh...

#

So why does my BuildUAT.bat file look completely different than what's on github...?

quaint kindle
#

@echo ravine I was able to convert project 5.1 back to 5.0 and 5.0 to 5.1, each time I include c++ class and recompile the project to the version I want to merge.

#

and it's working

echo ravine
#

(btw 5.1 doesn't exist, it's just the master development branch, including 5.0 work, 5.1 work, probably 5.2 work)

crimson granite
#

Ok so I completely deleted my entire directly and redownloaded 5.0 source

#

Still get that stupid dotnet error

#

Ah very interesting

#

Program Files definitely has a space in it

#

I wonder where that is set

#

GetDotnetPath.bat maybe?

agile harness
#

anybody knows how to fix the following warning?:

LogChaosCloth: Warning: Actor 'LevelStart_Montage_2' component 'SkeletalMeshComponent0' has 27 sphere, 24 capsule, and 0 convex collision objects for physics authored as part of a LOD construct, probably by the Apex cloth authoring system. This is deprecated. Please update your asset!
LogChaosCloth: Warning: Found a legacy cloth asset with a collision capsule spanning across two bones. This is not supported with the current system.
crimson granite
#

Ok I'm so confused

#

I am on git branch 5.0

#

But my BuildUAT.bat file does not match what's on github...

#

How is that even possible

#

So somehow it thinks dotnet is dotnet-C:\Program?

#

Doesn't dotnet take a DLL for it's target?

#

Not a .target or .version file?

#

CompileScriptModules.cs was changed recently and deals with dotnet

#

Shouldn't it look more like dotnet -C:\Program...

#

With a space in there

How to build a light weight version of the engine from source ?
Engine folder goes more than 250Go of space...

echo ravine
#

It'll be something like 150GB for Development + Shipping, bit less if you have disabled every plugin you don't need

latent bramble
#

It's not related to my project, I mean only the engine himself.
I downloaded and built it, it's more than 250GB
(In comparison UE5 EA published by Epic Games, it's like 26 GB)

#

@echo ravine

echo ravine
#

With the method I described only the relevant code will be built

#

If you want a small build, you can just run the process to generated Installed builds and then strip out the PDB files - it'll boil down to essentially same size as the 5EA release

#

The build itself will obviously still use 300GB

#

So you have two methods, one is organizing your C++ project well with minimal plugins - easy and gets you half the size - the other is doing an Installed build on another machine or disk and then using the much smaller build

#

Or wait a few months for a new UE5 build

@paper hound did you find a solution for the light issue? shadows etc on lights seem to be broken when placed past 131072 units still (at least on my build from a week ago)
or if anyone knows if it has been fixed recently

paper hound
#

I reported it as a bug with a project in a WeTransfer

#

I know it has been downloaded

#

But never heard about it past that

#

The annoying part is that it works in EA

lavish grove
#

disabling VSM fixes it but I want to use VSM

paper hound
#

VMS?

lavish grove
#

virtual shadow maps

paper hound
#

Oh so they improved it

#

My report was without

lavish grove
#

I only tested shadows so lumen might still be broke, I can test it now

paper hound
#

Volume fog is also broken

lavish grove
#

yeah disabled VSM only fixes shadows, lumen and fog is still broke

paper hound
#

try to ping people in charge of lumen and such on twitter or somewhere else...

#

I wouldn't be surprised they will fix it for release

#

afterall, considering 100 units is 1 meter

#

131072 is 1.3km

#

that means even the matrix demo should be broken

lavish grove
#

yeah it breaks on my small-ish 4x4km map

paper hound
#

the Matrix one was 4km

lavish grove
#

they did use only emissive though I think for lighting

#

other than skylight and directional

paper hound
#

Haven't tried that

#

It's true directional work regardless

lavish grove
#

emissive works fine I think at that distance

paper hound
#

idk

#

to see it, you need to pop the lumen scene

#

I can't try atm

#

cause last time I've build the engine

#

it wasn't launching UE

lavish grove
#

yeah emissive shows in lumen scene past 131k units

paper hound
#

heh so they tricked their engine 😄

lavish grove

#

I'm currently rebuilding the 5.0

and it's in the 5.0 branch

shadows past 131k units seem to be working in my build, although lumen seems to be broken (at least for local lights) at any distance from origin

Hello guys

#

do you think Epic use and boost a special release when they made matrix ?

#

it's probaly not one of the source available on git, they probaly use an internal build

maybe the next release will be this release in feb

echo ravine

Next release later this year is what's right now in 5.0 branch

i've modified that file too:

echo ravine

There should be no need to call that dotnet command or to modify any files

#

5.0 should compile out of the box with VS2022

I just get that:

echo ravine
#

Ask @crimson granite if they got it to work

#

Might be a recent regression

paper hound
#

I've deleted the source and try sync git ...

#

@crimson granite have you found a solution?

echo ravine
#

You're on the 5.0 branch right?

paper hound

I tried 5.0, ue5-release-engine-test and ue5-release-engine-staging

yeah that's the one i'm on since this morning

I'm trying to build commit 9060725e1e38fb7f1fbc83f395d4f7790f9b863d with what's supposed to be the lumen fix 5a6ec64aec16df4945021a7c5aaea69d0e419f7b as a cherrypick.. and your TTuple fix... Let's see what happen

how did you patched dec7ff12c7e30556575f4f063f9fcf811b863916?

#

Hum, Idk if I should restart the build and try your solution or continue with mine

basically any commit after 9060725e1e38fb7f1fbc83f395d4f7790f9b863d doesn't pass the initial compile of X/63

#

Oh... there is a space in mine

So the issue i'm tracking is basically the new commits after 9060725e1e38fb7f1fbc83f395d4f7790f9b863d aren't compatible with spaces?

Does building through project (DebugGame Editor) prevent you from running the engine through UnrealEditor? I can still run the project through the editor. I've noticed similar errors like this before, like when I mistakenly tried to build lights inside the editor.

#

You got 5k files to compile each time?

lofty idol
#

no

#

3k

paper hound
#

Well then it doesn't recompile all ;)

lofty idol
#

still not logic

#

that it compile the engine

#

for no reason

paper hound
#

Wait that's in the project, not in the engine?

lofty idol
#

yeah but it's compiling the engine ?

paper hound
#

Yeah that's not normal

lofty idol
#

it's only doing it when i'm adding a file to my project from the editor

#

with Add c++ class

#

i added this

unknown.png
#

tried to compile and it compiled the engine

paper hound
#

That's odd

lofty idol
#

that just fuc*ed up my day of work

paper hound
#

Not related, but be careful with the space

lofty idol
#

i didn't put it myself lol

paper hound
#

I've seen your path with ," 5.0"

lofty idol
#

first one is mine, second one is the one UE created to convert it to 5.0

paper hound
#

Can't you rename it to _5-0

lofty idol
#

idk

#

i just want the engine to not compiling itself for no reason

paper hound
#

If it recompile it's because it detect changes...

lofty idol
#

i just checked the engine repo on my github

#

there is no changes.

paper hound
#

But maybe it incorrectly detect it as something is not correctly linked in the path?

lofty idol
#

no

paper hound
#

Is that issue new to you?

lofty idol
#

it compiling fine, it only doing this when i'm adding a file from the editor.

#

so the problem is clearly from "adding a file from the editor"

paper hound
#

Yeah no idea what could be triggering that

lofty idol
#

yup

#

just hope someone can help me

paper hound
#

Can't you duplicate a file and rename it?

#

Instead of creating a new one

lofty idol
#

i'll still have to re-generate vs project files

paper hound
#

When you compile, do you compile your game or the project?

lofty idol
#

said it here

paper hound
#

No but you should right click on the game name instead of pressing build

lofty idol
#

i don't press build

#

i said that i was doing ctrl + b

#

and

#

seems clear of what ctrl+b does

#

😄

paper hound
#

So odd

#

On my side I use vs22 for the engine

#

And for my project I use rider

lofty idol
#

yeah but the problem is not vs

paper hound
#

And rider just build the game, not the engine

lofty idol
#

so i guess there is a setting to avoid that on vs

paper hound
#

Idk, i don't really use VS

# lofty idol so the problem is clearly from "adding a file from the editor"

Yes. There is a Bug or something. But, at times it adds a few lines of code at the end of the project file, which roughly says .. required dependencies == engine. If that's in there then whatever you do it will recompile the engine. Atleast a big part of it. Due to that.

That extra bit of code can be removed without any visible issues. 🙂🙂🙂

#

I don't have a screenshot of the code I mentioned. But, faced the issue.
