I am trying the console command r.OptimizedWPO … unreal 5.4 does not seem to find it. Is it now on be default or something? Is it still a thing?

  • Removed r.OptimizedWPO as it is no longer useful and causes confusion as we default bEvaluateWorldPositionOffset to true for primitives.

so basically we need to manually disable WPO on every single primitive?

It looks like they do it implicitly now. At least in our project we disable/enable WPO for foliage at a certain radius (distance from player). This works fine and I couldn’t find anything outside that “circle” that has WPO is enabled.

i think i saw in a youtube vid that its good practice to disable it on everything regardless… that way it doesnt even have to check if the material uses WPO or anything.
