@Rudy.Triplett It’s an awesome list!

I need to report 2 issues with that

  1. It seems to duplicated docs version, none version having all information?
    Unreal Engine 5 Noteworthy Changes | Unreal Engine Documentation

  2. This guide links to UDN a few times, while UDN isn’t publically available…

Do you know at this time if there will be support for texture-driven landscape displacement? Or is landscape displacement going to be more tedious in UE5 than it was in UE4 (I know there was talk of VHFM as a replacement here, but for example this more recent thread here https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/1c061bb0bb6bf9d0cd85402fbbd0904743584f09 had discussed material graph evaluation of WPO for example)

@RudyTriplett where can I find UnrealObjectPtrTool?
I’m using Unreal Engine 5.0.2 Lancher Version and I can’t find it.

So I can run:

UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe <UHT_LOG_PATH> -SCCCommand="p4 edit -c UPGRADE_CL {filenames}"

I’m following:

Thank you!
