hi,
no problem, and thanks for the info, basically the worst possible news, but I thought there is something different in the current engine version…
the game was updated from 4.18 to 4.24 in Feb because of significant rendering improvements, but resulting in many bugs, still not totally finished, so after releasing the current update, I hardly can imagine another engine version update soon 
If you don’t mind I will ask you again about your experiences with 4.25 later…
what I should solve is to make the game moddable, if possible without sharing the full game project, as it is mainly in Bp, and this plugin would be ideal for me to read in pak files by the game, created with a different, small mod editor project.
currently I can solve mounting/using multiple pak files in the game project made with the mod editor project only in a hacky way that I want to avoid (the 2 projects must have similar names, and include the same plugin for creating and receiving pak files created as DLC-s, but reading in multiple pak files referencing to the same plugin could lead to asset registry problems I think, especially if modders use similar file names)
if anybody has any good news/experience with UE4.24 please do not keep it in secret
