Did Epic disable Ambient Occlusion for forward shading in 4.26?
I can’t get it to work no matter what I do.
In 4.25 AO in Forward seems to work fine.
Tried PPVolume overrides, Project settings (AO enabled), clean test projects, everything I know literally… Google also didn’t tell me anything on the subject.
Same issue here…
Indeed, same here.
Looking at the bug tracker it seems it’s been fixed a while back but hasn’t made it into any official releases yet. I’m running a source build so I just fixed it myself (the tracker links to a commit that fixes the issue).
Same here… This unreal… will drive me deadly mad soon enough.
Per the documentation on the forward renderer:
The following features are not supported while using the Forward Renderer:
Screen Space Techniques (SSR, SSAO, Contact Shadows)
Perhaps you could try an alternative AO technique like distance field AO.
How do you fix it?
