You have to activate the High Precision Normals. You can find the option in Project settings->Rendering->Optimizations->GBuffer Format

I’m having some strange problems with dynamic CSM on mobile. It works perfectly fine in the editor and mobile preview, but after deploying to device I get this:


My device is Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. Settings on Stationary Directional Light:

I also have r.Shadow.RadiusThreshold=0.01 in DefaultEngine.ini

Hi,

In the XMPP module.h you add 2 new function: OnXmppRoomCreated && OnXmppRoomConfigured.
Now I’m getting a compilation error because FXmppRoomId is not known. What should we add as an header in order to use this properly?

for now, I add typedef FString FXmppRoomId; before the header, but that’s dirty coding.

Thanks for your feedback

On iOS mobile dynamic shadows seems to use wrap mode repeat in sampler. Shadow sampler should never use this addressing mode for obvious reasons(dublicate shadows on wrong places). Because Metal is missing Clamp to Border color maybe clamp_to_edge with 1 pixel scissors borders should be used.

, were these meshes imported via the FBX pipepline and did the meshes have UV coordinates assigned?

@EDI_VFS, note that high precision normals is not always appropriate. In this case the content has sufficient precision for is being render as seen from the 4.11 shot. High precision normals are important when the mesh density is so high that the normal between adjacent vertices are being quantized to the same value and the pixel shader interpolation isn’t able to function.

I switched my project from UE4.11.2 to UE4.12.2 and I am facing some issues with Child Actor Components. Details here:
https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/435161/issue-with-bp-child-component-actors-in-4122.html

Mesh instancing is involved, I don’t know if it is related to the.

Hello,

Do you know if something can be done about this please? It currently prevents us from moving to 4.12.

Thanks a lot!

Woooow, thanks for the fixes :slight_smile:

Thanks for the updates. :slight_smile: Also converted my Project today from 4.11 to 4.12. Getting some crashes (Index>=0 && Index<NumBits and LandscapeInfo)* and my landscape material is causing strange fps drops now that it didnt do in 4.11. But else looking great so far. Loving the new reflections. Cant wait to try the new cinematic-features.

Does your project have C++? If it does, you can launch it from VisualStudio and see where the crash occurs.
Sorry, I also don’t know where the log is.

Could you please have a look at it?

Thank you

Thanks. I forgot where the logs were. It seems the JCInventory from the Marketplace is crashing it. Strange how it worked up until this update. From my log:

Our own tests show this was successful. Can you please provide more details on the related Answerhub post: "GetClassDefaults" outputs breaking after 4.12 update - Blueprint - Epic Developer Community Forums

Correct, this has not been fixed yet. We hope to get to it soon however.
