Hi guys,

I been talking with a few programmers and they mentioned that starting from UE 5.4 including this 5.6 version the compile time of the headers takes a very long time since it compiles all the sub classes instead the class was modified.
Is like change one header act like a full rebuild and this is bad. This problem is not in in older versions that uses the VS2019.

Compiling here the UE5Game.h from Plugins on different versions:

5.2 is 40 Actions to build
5.3 is 25 Actions to build
5.4-5.6 is 232 Actions to build

Does anybody have same problem or know any solution for this?
Thank you very much for reading this. I appreciate any information given on this issue.

Posting here with more info, it seems this happens from time horde agent was introduced in UE 5.4. Seems this newer engine 5.4-5.6 messed out everyone that working from home using a single PC.
No matter if Disable or Enable the Horde Agent it will act the same and there seems to be no fix for it, not unless @EpicGames Devs makes this possible again.
