Unreal Engine 4.14 Preview

Any updates on mixed reality video support? Wondering if I should continue trying to brute force a solution or wait for support.

Ansel docs appear to be missing for those of us using the launcher build. Thankfully, the docs can be found on the GitHub repo as well.

This version supports Nintendo Switch??

Epic is at least listed on the partner list.

Thanks for all updates, but the custom depth for mobile, get my attention.

Ran into this one with the launcher installed build and VS 2015 14 update 1 trying to clean a solution.
The DotNETCommon directory is straight up missing in my install with everything checked except the various other target platforms.

Will see if it still happens after I’ve installed all the other platform stuff too (although technically, it shouldn’t only be part of those?)
(If it still happens, I can backfill with the github version, but…)
Edit: Nope, still no directory. Guess it’s already known.
Edit the second: also, even though “Generate visual project files” created a solution that included all the plugin code, it doesn’t even try to build them when (re)building the solution.
Had to start the unreal engine editor, enable the plugins, restart, and then it asked if it had to rebuild the dlls the next time the editor was started.

TArray<UMaterialInterface*> UStaticMesh->Materials is now deprecated, in favour of TArray<FStaticMaterial> UStaticMesh->StaticMaterials, which is a new material interface wrapper?

You forgot to mention these two awesome additions to 4.14:

Multiplayer world origin shifting:

and

You can now set the Replication Condition (such as SkipOwner) for Blueprint variables:

Is the bug where your packaged game crashes when exiting through the SteamVR Overlay fixed?

Please give me Plugin Language for iOS… It’s too difficult to import third party dynamic frameworks for iOS. There isn’t any documentation about AnroidPluginLanguage, but it make me easy to import my third party library. However, iOS isn’t.

Any way to update the Steamworks SDK to 1.38?

OH. SNAP.

This is the single best thing in this entire update for me. All that shooter/UnrealTournament-specific pollution in the code has been bugging me since forever. Even if it didn’t actually have any negative effect in theory, it just made everything feel… dirty. I’m so glad you guys did this. Possibly Actor could get the same treatment too in the future? (removing the Damage functions, etc… so that we have an ActorBase with only the bare necessities and no bloat)

Great job!

+1.
Now Please add something like ActorBase, without all those delegates/Collision/Damage Handling code.

Wooh wait wait hold the phone!
“Automatic LOD generation”
Are you saying… Unreal Engine now has an automated LOD generation tool on importing FBX?
please say I read that properly

It seems that SetWorldOrigin crashes the engine (at least if you have world origin rebasing on along with world composition) SetWorldOrigin command crashes the engine - World Creation - Unreal Engine Forums

Any chance the Widget Components will come out of being an “Experimental Feature” soon?

I try CustomDepth on postprocess material. This didn’t effect on my mobile(asus zenfone3).

Please add SMAA anti aliasing support to unrealgithub.com/inequation/UnrealEngine/tree/SMAA-4.13 TAA is just too blurry. Thanks.

One great new feature in 4.14 is missing from the changelog ! In 4.14 all baked data, lightmaps etc, is saved into a different file, not the level file. This makes it much easier to work with source control.

Is there an estimation when 4.14 will get the actual release? I love forward rendering and want to convert my project asap.

Just updated the launcher and its not showing. Add version brings up 4.8

Did you try clicking the version? You can select the one you want to install from there.

I don’t think it’s for FBX import, but for any object you have already in your project. Which is even better.
However, it doesn’t appear to be in the current 4.14 preview, or at least I can’t find it.

Edit: Never mind, it’s in the preview after all. But it seems you first have to import an LOD before you can auto-LOD it. In other words, import the main mesh as an LOD and then reduce it in the static mesh viewer. Strange workflow, but it works!
