I recently installed Unreal Engine 5.4.0 on my MacBook Pro 14 inch with the M2 Max chip, running MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1. When I enter landscape edit mode and try to use any of the landscape tools, the program freezes and becomes unresponsive. It remains stuck in this state for hours until I force quit the program.
I experienced a similar issue with version 5.3.2, where some tools partially worked but most of them ended up erasing parts of the landscape instead of performing their intended functions. However, updating to 5.4.0 has further increased this problem.
If anyone has encountered and resolved this issue, I would greatly appreciate any assistance or fixes you can provide.
Yes same here with M1 and Sonora 14.3.1
Shame, I am just learning UnReal and have had other discouraging outcomes like this.
The other day with 5.4.1 I could not get mouse focus on anything on an external monitor.
True, when I heard about 5.2, 5.3 being stable for M series, I had high expectations for development in Unreal, but it seems there are many things still needs to optimise for Macs with ARM architecture. I hope this could be an easy fix.
Did anyone open a bug report? I have a video of the problem, but the bug report form doesn’t accept video files even though it says to upload a video.
Edit: I opened a bug report. I’ll post any updates here.
This was also happening for me and the fix helped the crashing but I’m not sure if this is related, but when using any landscape too, the mouse control becomes more and more erratic the longer you hold down the left click to sculpt. Almost as if there is an acceleration applied.
