hi @norsfell_max
In the 5.2 documentation is the section
UPDATE @norsfell_max
you need to ADD
<BuildConfiguration>
bDisableDebugInfoForGeneratedCode>false</bDisableDebugInfoForGeneratedCode>
<BuildConfiguration>
to Located at: UnrealEngine\Engine\Saved\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml
see
Build Configuration for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation
Example: Debugging Shaders Locally
In this case, the user should edit the [Platform]Engine.ini locally and add the following:
[ShaderCompiler]
r.Shaders.WriteSymbols=1
Shader Debugging Workflows Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation
Unreal Engine 5.2 Release Notes | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation
Control +F Search “Materials and Shaders”
Build machines will now output shader debug info for failed shaders as a build artifact.
Due to size limits, this output is limited to ten items. The number of debug info outputs is tracked and incremented when we dump a debug info (which happens on a worker thread), and is read on the main thread so the value is atomic.
Removed old code for dumping the debug info to the log.
Also 5.2 onward defaults templates to shader model 6 NOT 5 like in 5.1.
I have had immense trouble with Shader 6 (so much has changed) default in templates and Shaders 5 in GPU Lightmass converting from 5.1 and my version is at 5.3 now as 5.2 wont work (no shadows)
