Feedback & Suggestions for Unreal Engine 5.9

Hello Unreal Engine Team!

First of all, I want to appreciate your hard work. Unreal Engine 5.9 is amazing, and I can see that the engine is continuously improving with every release.

However, I have noticed that UE 5.9 feels slightly slow and laggy compared to previous versions. I would really appreciate better performance optimization, especially for laptop users.

1. D3D Device Removed Error

This is one of my biggest problems. I keep experiencing the D3D Device Removed error repeatedly on my laptop. I have tried many solutions through ChatGPT and other AI tools, but unfortunately, nothing has fixed the issue.

Please investigate this problem and improve the engine’s stability so users with laptops can work without constantly facing this error.

2. My Experience With Previous Versions

  • UE 5.5 – Absolutely amazing!

  • UE 5.6 – Pretty good.

  • UE 5.7 – Excellent.

  • UE 5.8 – Quite good.

  • UE 5.9 – Amazing improvements, but needs more optimization.

3. Custom Folder Icons in Content Browser

I would also love to see an option to customize folder icons in the Content Browser.

When working on large projects with hundreds of folders, it becomes difficult to identify assets just by reading folder names. Custom icons or thumbnails for folders would make navigation much easier, especially for cinematics, characters, animations, and video production.

I know there are still bugs and improvements needed, but I appreciate the progress your team is making with every release.

Please consider these suggestions for future updates.

Thank you for making Unreal Engine better every day. Keep up the great work!
