Unreal Engine Preview

Vaei;536270:

+1 here too.

I upgraded to r5 from r4 and I believe that must of been when the .cpp files went missing. I verified and it solved nothing, so I uninstalled it and deleted everything and reinstalled, after which they came back. Last night I formatted my computer and put windows 10 back on but barely anything at all is on my OS drive, so I reopened the launcher and hit install and it reinstalled it with the files already present, then the .cpp were missing again. So I did the same as before but now they wont come back no matter what.

The only thing I haven’t done while trying to get them back which I’m trying now is to uninstall -> delete all files -> reinstall instead of uninstall -> reinstall, I don’t recall if that’s what solved it the first time around. I will update when I know.

Edit: .cpp files are missing from launcher r5 and I can’t find out how to get them back - reinstalling doesn’t work even while deleting the engine folder etc after uninstalling.

Hey ,

Can you explain your steps leading up to when you noticed you didn’t have .cpp files? After updating from preview 4 to preview 5 and opening a new project I could still see all of the engine files in Visual Studio. mentioned installing Windows 10, are you using Windows 10 as well? Additionally, if either of you could create a post for this the AnswerHub (https://answers.unrealengine.com/index.html) and link to it here, it will help us investigate/track this.

Please add icons for Lightmass portal, Planar reflection actors, Camera Rig Crane, Camera Rig Rail. I understand this is not a high priority, but all new assets have default sphere icon and this does not look very presentable. Also Lightmass portal is accessible only via search and not available in Modes categories

Hey , here’s the AHub post: Engine .CPP Files missing from Launcher Download - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums

Filly_The_Owl · May 26, 2016, 4:40pm

Whats about this thing here?
Stephen Ellis told me to make an answerhub post and now someone just thaught he could resolve that thing without saying anything. I cant mindread the answer… sry

UPDATE!

But this time, it’s an important Launcher update! Please see the latest Launcher Release Notes.

When combined with UE , the Launcher now give you more control over what parts of the engine you want to download and install. Take a look by clicking Options on your Preview engine slot.

The list of Installation Options include:

Core Components (Required)
Starter Content
Templates and Packs
Engine Source
Editor Symbols for debugging
Art Tools
iOS
Android
HTML5
Linux
TVOS

Cheers!

Hey -

It seems this is related to unchecking either Starter Content or the Templates and Packs in the installation options. The latest update to the launcher appears to have solved this.

Cheers

Quick question to those who are testing planar reflections.

Can you include/exclude what objects to reflect, as perhaps this may help with performance on complicated scenes?

Thanks.

No, it’s impossible for now. Post#23 Requesting improvements about planar reflections (4.12) - Feedback & Requests - Epic Developer Community Forums

'Tis indeed solved. Was this update meant for today or is it just fate :P? Quickest bugfix evarrr…

Vaei · May 26, 2016, 10:39pm

Efficient

I was indeed unchecking both Starter Content and Templates and Packs, only grabbing the Core Components and Editor symbols for debugging.

Fixed on my end too.

So gravity settings will not be implemented in ?

Dang, my entire project relies on this lol

I asked earlier also, basically it’s not in the branch so it’s very unlikely however devs haven’t confirmed that.

GReat update on the launcher.

In the selectable options, what means Linux? Is it the linux client editor or something else

SRombauts · May 27, 2016, 10:17am

I am betting on the toolchain/sdk needed to build your game for linux. So it would be a target, like Android, not a host OS.

Elvince · May 27, 2016, 10:55am

That would be great, but as far as I know, if you target linux, you must use Github source in all case, or something has changed? or new binary for linux so we can?

When can we expect the final ?

Is Merge Actors tool coming out of experimental in ? If so, what’s the state of UE-25187 ? (it’s quite crucial)

Tim_Hobson · May 27, 2016, 12:41pm

I don’t think it’s likely that the Merge Actors tool will be out of experimental in . That JIRA is currently targeted at a bit in 4.14, but that could always change.

anonymous_user_537a337d · May 27, 2016, 7:43pm

For some reason I cannot build my C++ project using Visual Studio. I just upgraded from 4.11.2 to Preview 5, and when I try to build my project I get:



LogCompile : error : Failed to initialize the engine (PreInit failed).
Error : Failed to generate code for MyProjectEditor - error code: CrashOrAssert (3)

Should the log files be under AppData/UnrealEngine? I don’t see any.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

jojo8026 · May 27, 2016, 7:45pm

Can you give an idea on when is getting officially released ?

Stephen_Ellis · May 27, 2016, 8:15pm

We are aiming to release within a week or two.

Cheers
