5.4.3 Rendering crashes

I feel for you! I’ve been working with 5.4 and I’ve had a few problems with it for sure. I seem to have gotten around most things for the time being. From what I’ve heard the water plug-in is very bad for performance. I think because it’s rendering as a sort of volume that has geometry, rather than a plane of material. I have a map I’ve been working on, that’s full of lots of high poly trees, foliage and what not and I’m walking around it with a Metahuman, to boot. Framerate is pretty smooth on my 4090 - then I add in a river with the water plug-in and it starts to get choppy. Water plug-in is the culprit, in my case. Why don’t you look for a water asset on the marketplace, that’s much better for performance? Then you wouldn’t have to downgrade?
