Is Unreal Engine for game developers or for engine troubleshoothers?

You didn’t answer my questions, though. What exactly would you like to see change in Unreal Engine ? How specifically could it be better in your opinion ?

• How experienced in C++ are you?

It has nothing to do with C++.
I’m an experienced C++ independent programmer.

• You wonder when updates will stop : they will stop when Epic goes out of business. This is a game engine, it will be updated all the time until it doesn’t exist anymore, just like UDK was updated until it was replaced by UE4 and abandonned.

Already answered. “When I ask for help on the forums, they most likely suggest me to upgrade”.
When something doesn’t work with my current old version, the first thing they suggest me is to upgrade to hope for an improvement.

So this keeps me from not updating the Engine everytime.

• You complain about how Visual Studio updates break compatibility with the engine. Why is this even related to Unreal? They’re not the one doing the breaking!

That was just an example. Not only am I forced to upgrade… I also come across incompatibilities.
Not only I come across incompatibilities, I also need to update my old code with the new supported one.

All of this happens just because, as said above, I’m forced to upgrade.

And all of this takes EXTRA time from attention and makes me lose my focus on MY GAME.

How the hell do you expect this thread to have any positive outcome?

I never expect anything from anyone. Expecting just disappoints you.

I hope the Engine will reach a better and stable position.
