Ue5 live coding & hot reload on linux

General Feedback & Requests

I recently downloaded ue5 on my popos 22.04 machine and started my first project. From my initial experience it seems like neither of these features are working and I need to restart editor every time I change something in code (I am using vs code btw).

Sooo, am I missing something? is there a workaround about this, because it seems very strange to me. and I don’t remember seeing this issue mentioned in the docs either. do I have to use windows for that?

Live coding is not supported on Linux for now. Hot reload should work fine. Can you double-check that you are using a C++ based project? Does it at least show the button for hot reload in the bottom right of the editor?

oh I see, I didn’t know you need to press a separate button. I was just building on VS Code and then I was pressing play on the editor.

Thanks for clarifying it but I switched to Windows already and uninstalled ue5 from my linux.
