Will someone please post a list of the steps I need to take to open, load and play the “A Boy and His Kite” cinematic in the Unreal Editor?

Hi there,

First you need to ensure your PC is capable of running it. It is a tech demo that is extremely large and detailed (some textures are 500MB+ in size), if you want a decent framerate you are going to need a powerful PC. This demo was originally built to target a Titan X GPU, that should give you some idea. You are going to need:

  • CPU Min: 4 core CPU @ 2.8ghz Recommended: 6 core CPU @ 3.3ghz or better
  • GPU Min: GTX 680 Recommended: GTX 980 or better
  • RAM Min: 8gb Recommended: 24gb
  • 20gb of disk space (download is 6gb, building the lighting will take up the rest)
  • Min Specs will get you ~20-30fps @1080p Recommended specs will get ~50-60fps @ 1080p

  1. Download it from the Epic Launcher’s Learn tab (it’s free)

  2. Create a new project using the “Create Project” button for the Boy and his Kite

  3. Let the project load. Depending on your system specs, this can take anywhere from 5-60 minutes, be patient

  4. Once open, click the Build toolbar button to build the geometry and lighting in all levels

  5. Click Play, and you will see the cinematic.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks
