I created an editor utility widget in UE 5.0 project to help me debug my game, it works fine when playing in editor.

But after I migrated my project to UE5.2, every time I run PIE, the widget seems grayed out and unusable. Are editor widgets no longer allowed to run in PIE?

I created a brand new one under 5.2 and it seem to behave OK. Judging by the description:

grayed out and unusable

Do double check the hierarchy for:

Especially the root of the widget. Perhaps something went wrong during migration. If that does not help, I’d check the Construct Event for rogue script that may be causing issues.

I think I solved the problem, thanks a lot!

The widget has added a checkbox in UE5.2 to determine whether it can run in PIE, which doesn’t exist in previous versions.
