So hopefully there is a config or some changes that can be made to bump up the live viewport performance and if anyone has any to share they would be appreciated.
I know I am running this on a low spec machine so lets get past that and see if we can get some extra performance out of it anyways as this is just my portable fun machine and would love to be able to use UE4 on a whim when out. The specs are an i3-3227U cpu with onboard hd4000. 8gb ram. Using flappy chicken as an example I get ~12fps when in editor mode and gameplay seems to be much better and smoother.
My goal is to have something that is atleast usuable for working with as even a blank scene gives me ~17fps when looking straight ahead. Disabling the grid gives me a 3fps boost which I find very amusing so perhaps there are other easy fixes that might get the editor more performance.
