How can I use the city sample in Unreal Engine 5.6?

I can’t create this project it says not compatible with unreal engine 5.6

I also tried to convert an existing City Sample 5.54 project to 5.6 and it failed.
They did use City Sample to showcase their “Fast Geometry Streaming Plugin” (1), so let’s hope they will update the City Sample project (along the separate “city sample crowds” + “city sample vehicles”) soon to allow us to get it working on 5.6.

likely will need to wait a bit for them to update it to 5.6
It took a while for them to update 5.5

Or if you are impatient you can try manually compiling the plugins that it uses, but some are pretty dense with C++ templates and ECS logic so might be worth just waiting if you have a lot of compile errors

Indeed, IIRC they only updated it to 5.5 a few months ago (let’s hope this will be quicker this time around).
