I had the same issue, but I also had made my own crouching code (that was very similar to the <4.10 implementations). What seems to have fixed it (if I remember right) was using GetMesh().SetRelativeLocation(NewLocation) instead of GetMesh().RelativeLocation.z = NewZ when correcting the Z of the CharacterMesh.

Have you double checked your project settings to make sure that “Generate Distance Field Mesh” is enabled? I can say that I’ve used them in 4.11 without any issue. If that is still giving you issue, open a new project and make sure that you can enable in a blank or different project.
So, I figured it out… Quality Setting must be epic… It seems odd that if I marked a light to cast it that if anyone choose to not have epic settings they suddenly get no shadows period or distance field ao. Also is there a way to mass rebuild all distance fields? Also whats the cost of a spotlight with distance shadows vs normal?.. Is it cheaper to have distance shadow or cascade?

Distance Fields are an SM5 feature and require Epic quality settings to work. Any lower setting will automatically disable them. Aside from brute force deleting the cache I’m not sure if there is a way using a console command to rebuild the distance fields, at least not off-hand. Distance fields are cheaper than CSM since they do not have to calculate every triangle within the attenuation radius regardless of how big it is on screen. You can see the the performance comparisons with CSM and DF’s in the Distance Field Soft Shadows documentation here: Distance Field Soft Shadows in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation

That’s why you should never use a preview in production.
4.11 still needs some heavy bug fixing, it has to be stable when it comes out. Engine stability is one of the concerns for people switching to other engines.
I compiled the master branch from source a month ago which is 4.11 . Mistake on my part . But we could migrate the blueprints and level from the preview 4.11 to a stable 4.11 ? My issue concerning me is that swarm isnt working when trying to build lighting in the 4.11 which is compiled from source but it works in the stable 4.10.3 .
We have just released Preview 7 for 4.11! Please view the Known Issues List on page 1 of this thread for the updated list of known issues.
Important Known Issue: UE-27673 - Mac crashes when building lighting. This is due to an Nvidia GPU driver bug on OSX 10.11.3 or earlier. The solution for this is to update to the OSX 10.11.4 beta.
Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.11 build before its official release. As a reminder, the Preview builds are for testing only, and should not be used for the active development of your project.
The official 4.11 Release is currently expected to occur around the end of March.
Note: OculusMobile SDK on 1.0. (Desktop still 0.8)
Cheers!

I’m guessing you meant “migrate from 4.11 to a stable 4.10”. I don’t have an answer but not all versions behave the same - 4.10 to 4.9 worked for example, 4.9 to 4.8 didn’t. I’m afraid the downgrade doesn’t work for valid reasons, like changes in the file format , so you should wait the 4.11 stable and deal with it, or go back to your last 4.10 commit and branch in your version control system - so that you can keep working, and get your changed bvack with a merge once 4.11 is released.
First problem in Preview Seven, Player Controllers don’t take on the rotation of the Player Start when they are spawned in the same way they used to. In my case this has effectively broken my menu system… Any reason for this change?
I just noticed that the FPS chracter has substantial artefacts when moving. It was also a bit messy in previous versions, but now its really in-your-face.
my little project is going along fine in 4.10.4… maybe it’s because i keep things simple and stripped down to bare essentials, and work within the bounds of it’s capabilities, don’t know… but i would just like to say again that what you are doing here is monumental, i wish i was 40yrs younger to watch how this whole thing plays out…
In 4.11 P7 Oculus VR tracking seems to be broken (on DK2). Camera has a weird drift - when you turn head, it moves in an arc.
Also it is very low to the ground and ignores eye height or camera placement. Actually I did not found any way to affect VR camera height or initial orientation.
now that is back on,
anyone else having their Video Driver crashing when enabling on an asset [extensively] used as foliage on a scene?
basically if I enable on my tree trunk it makes the Video Driver. I also tried to apply the on a scene with just one tree and when I open the full foliage scene it also crashes.

Getting a lot of physics-related crashes in this version. What changed since Preview 6 ?
Hi all. Thanks for the feedback, but the are not an ideal place for investigations into bug reports. Please click the link in my signature to log a report on the UE4 Answerhub so that Epic’s Support staff can investigate.

Hi guys, terrific work so far on fixing bugs in this build!
I’m just wondering what work has been done on UE-6451 - The inability to use Set Members in Struct on the member of a struct array?
I saw on that it is labelled as a February fix, so I’m wondering if it will finially come to 4.11?
[=_Simian;489824]
I’m just wondering what work has been done on UE-6451
UE-6451 has been fixed internally, but the fix is for the future 4.12 release. If you are working with source code, the fix is CL# 2875741 in this commit. .com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/02ac030a9199ff2361ff6550a6aa3791d20bf7c1
Set Amount to 0 it will fix it.
