Windows build 14959, Preview 2, Visual ‘15’ Preview 5.
Can hot-compile/reload the C++ in-engine, build it from VS 15, etc. When I try to build the project though, I get this:

No issues with Preview 1. Also had issues where I have to manually add Include/Library “UniversalCRT” Visual C++ Directories to my project to get the engine to compile and run in the first place. All preview 2.
I’ve reinstalled VS 15, Windows SDK’s, etc. Also deleted Intermediate/Saved folders, .VC db files and the solution and regenerated it from scratch. None of that fixed these errors.
so i want to add a instanced level after i baked lights,can i spawn a duplicate of levels with offsets that have the lightmaps,in 4.13 i think i can do that but can i do that in 4.14
The game thread however is a different thing, and there its usually up to you to write your own code in a multi-threaded way using classes like FRunnable. If you however talk about some specific framework part that is not multit-hreaded enough, like CharacterMovementComponent or something like that, there it’s obviously up to Epic to do that. But those stuff is usually quite optimized already.
So maybe you should ask more specifically about the area where you currently miss multi-threading
[/]
Not quite. UObjects are inherently single threaded (bound to game thread). You can’t create Uobjects on other threads, they can’t exists outside of game thread, there is no build in communication, which would let UObjects to communit and modify each other across threads.
It’s probabaly possible to do it all on your own, but it’s huge change to engine, which you would have to maintain later.
It would be nice if UObjects would support multithreading out of box. Running things like transforms on separate jobs wopuld help with massive amount of changing actors. Running AI (behavior trees, path finding), would also help with large amount of actors which must be simulated. And that are things which came first to me.
Right now adding multithreading to UObject is hacking around limitations of system, and using UObject as sync point, which might deacrese performance when large amount of entities are involved. What we need is lock-free multithreading supported natively by UObjects.

I agree with that, more multithreading support directly build in to UObject would be very nice.
But you can use UObjects from other threads at the moment, without problems, I do that a lot. Obviously you can’t modify UE4 related things like the transforms from other threads, but you can call functions that just work with your own variables, as long as you can make sure that the UObject won’t get destroyed and GCed from the GT while you are modifying it from other threads.
Another thing is that, as far as I know, UE4 currently has no “UE4 way” of using a SRWLock or std::shared_mutex like it’s called in C++11: http://en.cppreference.comcpp/thread/shared_mutex
Such a lock is often way better than the “stupid” (I mean “unintelligent”) FCriticalSection that UE4 provides, since often only one thread modifies something while many threads read from it, and a FCriticalSection can only lock everything all the time with making no difference between threads that need to write and threads that only need to read. That such a lock does not exist in UE4 shows that threading is not really a high priority to them. I am using that std::shared_mutex a lot, and it works great, but I think in general it’s better to not use std but UE4 classes instead in UE4 code.

No mention of what looks like volumetric lighting in the launcher preview picture? I guess it’s just my eyes playing tricks on me.
[/]
Sorry, no volumetric lighting yet.
That one screenshot is part of what will be used as a comparison for Lighting Scenarios in the final release notes. The volumetric lighting trick shown here is still using a static mesh with an assigned material to fake the effect.
We have just released Preview 3 for 4.14! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.14 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.
For a list of known issues affecting this latest preview, please follow the links provided on the first post in this thread.
This is expected to be the final preview before the release.
Cheers!

I’m testing the forward renderer on 4.13 and already looks great, but with no ssao
these updates on the 4.14 will include any kind of AO for the forward renderer?

[/]
Is it in the works? I’m tempted to continue with my crappy blueprint / scene capture hack and make it render to an rt and blur it with some stuff… if only you could sample the CSM shadowmap textures in material, cos then I could make proper volumetrics without relying on another pass… but it works like in fallout 4 / nvidia gameworks godrays using tessellation extrusion stuff…

Precomputed Lighting AO enabled in World Settings > Lightmass will still function, but no screen space option this release.

It was originally tasked to be worked on, but then we moved ahead with the forward renderer implementation. I’m not sure when it’ll be put back into the active category, though.
Internally it’s marked as In Progress, but there has not yet been a fix submitted.
[/]
Understood, tried to add the line of " bSupportsVulkan=True" manually in the project’s DefaultEngine.ini seems have the checkbox ticked, but haven’t try to launch yet. Will give it a shot! Thanks. Hope next update will fix this.

I use both since there are some movable objects…
Light functions on stationary lights aren’t working too.
Still, I’ll probably stick with Forward as it still looks cool but so much faster.
thanks

Light functions and IES profiles are not yet supported in this release.
