Cool, updating as we speak.

msanioura · October 22, 2020, 5:39pm

Very Cool Epic Games. Thank you.

MrFlopsie · October 22, 2020, 10:13pm

After updating to this version my vehicle physics are completely broken… What has changed regarding physics or raycasting?

RabbleGS · October 22, 2020, 11:09pm

Physics broke? I was going to update but my game is physics driven. How would you roll back to a previous version of 4.25 if needed?

Patrik_Spacek · October 23, 2020, 12:55am

Did they fix the (SSR) issues that broke all reflections in editor / gamedev? It has been a huge issue with 4.25 release.

VinceCarter24 · October 23, 2020, 5:32am

Its been in engine since 4.23. Been waiting a long time for a fix. Download any recently released UE4 game and turn anti aliasing to medium or lower, guaranteed it will flicker.

matty_matt_mattmatt · October 23, 2020, 6:42am

Wish they would fix the Ansel plugin, can only take a regular screenshot and everything else is broken in 4.25

Anonymous_b07cad2e6209aeaa1e18d9031f028776 · October 23, 2020, 8:33am

UE4.25.4, if the folder name is Chinese, all actors in the folder cannot be called

Anonymous_8dc3e8e080079e83cb9b94d4315e0a79 · October 23, 2020, 8:57am

Hello, can you roll back the version? Update to 4 keeps crashing

Rawalanche · October 23, 2020, 12:01pm

4.25.4 Update has broken every single material using the material layer system (which is supposed to be production ready now):
Before:

After:

EDIT: Actually, the real culprit seems to be the fact that default values for texture that are not overriden in material instances have all been reset to none:

Before, non-overriden Texture Parameter would default to the default texture asset value present in the source material function, but after this hotfix, the default is None instead of default value in the Texture Parameter.

EDIT 2:
Actually, it seems far worse than that. Unchecking any value override in any layered material instance will immediately reset it, instead of preserving the value. So a simple act of toggling the checkbox will immediately destroy your value.

This is actually very surprising, because this if first time in years I’ve seen so botched hotfix. Generally, each UE update was quite up to the standard. At least never breaking to this degree. This is first time I am encountering such a breaking issue, something I was used to on a monthly basis when using Autodesk products. So despite all the initial frustration, it’s honestly nice to see this being an exception rather than a rule

Since updating to 4.25.4 my large projects take over one minute to save each time, but on 4.25.3 they took seconds. Anyone else have this? Can I go back to 4.25.3???

Monster_Tooth · October 24, 2020, 8:21am

First time updating to a HF before you go to forums to check if its safe

Clatu · October 24, 2020, 10:12am

Hi, what is with the sun actor, after the update sun freeze in skylight only the source is moving.

Clatu · October 24, 2020, 11:54am

Ok guys, after experience my self, i worked out, by now you need to implement the update sun direction and the refresh material function together in your driving blueprint.

unit23 · October 24, 2020, 1:37pm

Today after reloading the project I first had to activate the landscape tool in order to see painted grass meshes. Prior to 4.25.4 these landscape painted layer meshes were loading without activation of the landscape tool. First time this happened.

terrible BUG all BP with Delay crash

Is


UE-96653 Unique build environment frequently rebuilds all

fixed in commit 1af546817886bf3ae6136d6f2c9829a66c5a6752?

TheFlow3k · October 25, 2020, 12:06am

By reading comments I am afraid trying the update at all. Do you could handle all your problems simply with small changes?
@催眠的鱼: Still crashing?

You go it fixed? I use physics also.

@moody.by.name
Did you get improved project loading time or still waiting minues?

Anonymous_aaa45762dc9a82562ba762b6679d59e3 · October 25, 2020, 5:27am

@TheFlow3k yeah.I did some simple tests.make out that In ChildBP,tick→delay Doesn’t work
Maybe the reason is path can not having Chinese characters
