Unreal Engine 5.0 Released

The much-anticipated arrival of Unreal Engine 5 is here! With this release, we aim to empower teams, both large and small, to push the boundaries of what’s possible—visually and interactively. will help you to realize next-generation real-time 3D content and experiences with greater freedom, fidelity, and flexibility than ever before.

With , you’ll harness a redesigned Unreal Editor, better performance, updated artist-friendly animation tools, an extended mesh creation and editing toolset, improved path tracing, and much more.

Concentrate on creativity

With Lumen—a fully dynamic global illumination solution that enables you to create believable scenes where indirect lighting adapts on the fly to changes to direct lighting or geometry—change the sun’s angle with the time of day, turn on a flashlight, or open an exterior door.

The virtualized micropolygon geometry system, Nanite, gives you the ability to create games and experiences with massive amounts of geometric detail.

Virtual Shadow Maps (VSMs) provide plausible soft shadows with reasonable, controllable performance costs.

With Temporal Super Resolution (TSR), a built-in, platform-independent, high-quality upsampling system, the engine can render at much lower resolution but with similar output pixel fidelity to frames rendered at a higher resolution.

Create Open Worlds faster

A new World Partition system changes how levels are managed and streamed, automatically dividing the world into a grid and streaming the necessary cells.

Simultaneously work on the same region of the same World, thanks to a new One File Per Actor (OFPA) system, while with Data Layers, create different variations of the same world—such as daytime and nighttime versions, or intact and broken geometry—as layers that exist in the same space.

Built-in character and animation tools

For animation authoring, there’s a powerful new suite of artist-friendly tools that enable you to work directly in the Unreal Editor. Highlights include the ability to quickly and easily create rigs and share them across multiple characters with the enhanced, production-ready Control Rig, then animate them in Sequencer, where you can save and apply the poses with the new Pose Browser, and apply blended keys with undershoot or overshoot using the Tween tool.

In-editor modeling, UV editing, and baking

There’s a massive array of new and enhanced tools for mesh creation and editing, representing a fundamental leap forward. These updates—which also include multiple enhancements to core modeling, sculpting, and remeshing and simplification—are supported by architectural advancements that create the framework for future tools. Watch this space!

Fully procedural audio engine

With , we’re introducing a fundamentally new way of making audio. MetaSounds is a high-performance system that offers complete control over audio DSP graph generation of sound sources, letting you manage all aspects of audio rendering to drive next-generation procedural audio experiences.

New Samples

And to help you explore all the new features in Unreal Engine 5, we’re offering two free sample projects for you to download.
  • Lyra Starter Game - is a living sample gameplay project built alongside development to serve as an excellent starting point for creating new games, as well as a hands-on learning resource.
  • City Sample - a sample project that reveals how the scene from The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine Experience was built and consists of a complete city with buildings, vehicles, and crowds of MetaHuman characters.

Note: We are aware of an issue introduced in 5.0.3 where users running on integrated Intel GPUs receive a message to update their drivers, even if using the latest.

To work around this, please try one of the following:

  1. Set “r.WarnOfBadDrivers” to 0 in ConsoleVariables.ini

  2. Fix the problem by editing Engine\Config\BaseHardware.ini and changing “30.0.101.1191” to “101.1191” in the DriverDenyList for Intel.

  3. Add the following to DefaultHardware.ini in the project’s config directory:
    [GPU_Intel Windows]
    !DriverDenyList=ClearArray
    +DriverDenyList=(DriverVersion=“<101.1191”, Reason=“These driver versions have known stability issues and missing features”)

Released but still no single floating points in blueprint? everything defaults to doubles which is problematic for people porting there projects from UE4!

Hoping to see the lack of usable landscape displacement addressed outside of VHFM, but not getting my hopes up haha

Excited to see how this release looks though <3

can be done w/the heightmesh.

I’m more concenred about a 130+fps project in 4.26 dropping to low 80’s at best in the ‘release’ version of .

That and the lack of stability on just navigation (crashes whenever, doesn’t seem to be able to calc materials and do anything else concurrently…), I’m calling this Preview 3…

I guess the turned on a lot of ‘extras’ which are not there in UE4.x therefore, the FPS is on the low side because of extra processing.

Can…kind of ick to set up (esp. with complex automaterials) and requires virtual texturing, but yeah.

Agree about FPS though. Preview 2 actually had pretty significant FPS gains over EA2, but now in this 5.0.0 full release I’m actually seeing FPS down around the EA2 level again which is a bit disappointing.

Opened a few projects from Preview 2. Nanite is broken and only renders the proxies. Virtual shadow maps also broken.
Idk am i missing something

Has anyone else noticed that Nanite Isn’t working at all in the official Release?

yes :dizzy_face:

Was hoping that the default laptop limitations would have been removed in 5.0. Kind of annoying having to paste r.DontLimitOnBattery 1 into the command line every time I open up my project. Is there any way we can at least get a project/editor preferences toggle for this?

You can run bp node ExecuteConsoleCommand on your level blueprint… (or something similar). That way, it will automatically gets executed when you play that level.

It’s more of an annoyance when using the editor itself rather than playing a level. I tend to test in standalone so that restriction isn’t there. Basically viewport editing performance is halved.

crashed crashed crashed :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

I think I will wait until 5.1.2 gets released before using it for any project. There are still many critical bugs and issues also marketplace products are being converted but might have issues as well anyway.
I will stick with 4.27.2 for the current game project. If in a few months 5.1 gets released then I might use it for the next project.

Yeah im gonna pass on this release like some others are doing because of the issues. There really aren’t any new features anyway in 5.0 besides minor stability fixes. But most importantly what I discovered from the community is that the NANITE problem seems to be happening with project files that were originated from the EA version of UNREAL5.

It’s really bizarre how it all works and at first it didn’t make any sense to me. So when someone first explained that this is what was going on I had to test it out myself to be sure that what they were saying was true.

So basically if you started a project out with Preview 2 then moved it to the official release then you wont have any issues at all. Your good and Nanite will work JUST fine. This is also the case if you started your project out with the official release of UNREAL5. However any files created in EA or UE4 FIRST will have some serious problems. For starters, if you’ve created a project in EA and then moved to the official 5.0 release, Nanite WONT work at all. If you activate Nanite in this case it will just revert to a low poly version of your mesh and the visualization option for the feature meant to display the triangle clusters wont show anything on screen except for the normal editor view.

UE4 projects as reported here have a significant decrease in FPS when moving them to official 5.0 build. I noticed that it’s much slower than Prev 2 as well. I’ve also witnessed people complain that they have the NANITE problem ontop of that after they went from UE4 to EA and then Official 5.0. And it gets even more ridiculous because the same thing occurs even if you go from UE4 Or EA to Prev 2 and THEN to latest 5.0. In other words moving to Prev 2 doesn’t seem to fix the Nanite issue even though you can go from directly PREV 2 to 5.0 without any problems. So I don’t know what’s going on but something seems to be carrying over from those old versions of the engine into the new version which is causing a BUNCH of problems. The official release really seems to just be locked within itself. Its probably safe to just stay on Prev 2 for now.

This new release definitely feels more like it should have been a Prev 3 as someone else here has already stated.

UPDATE!

The 5.0.1 Hotfix is now live. This hotfix resolves a few urgent issues in the 5.0 release that we wanted to address swiftly.

Why are all of the templates gone now with 5.0.1?

1 Like

So I’m not 100% sure I understand how the issue tracker works for Unreal.

A bug that is marked for “Target Fix: 5.0.1” should have been fixed in this release? Yet I don’t believe it was - Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-148515)
Was the fix postponed? I would consider “Build all Levels” failing on sample projects an urgent fix.

Well Ill give this update a shot. 5.0.0 had Datasmith broken for my system. Importing any fbx mesh would do nothing.

Update: Still broken.

Huh, that’s strange. We’re seeing them on our side—did you happen to uncheck “templates” in your install options?
