I keep running into this issue where I follow a YouTube tutorial for Unreal Engine, and halfway through, things just don’t line up anymore—nodes are renamed, menus are in different places, or a Blueprint setup no longer behaves the same in newer versions.
It’s especially noticeable with older UE4 tutorials when working in UE5, even when the core idea should still apply. Sometimes I can adapt it, other times I end up digging through docs or source just to figure out what changed.
How do you usually handle this? Do you stick to version-specific creators, pause updates mid-project, or is there a better way to translate tutorial logic when the engine evolves? Curious how others avoid wasting hours on outdated guidance.
