So the log says anymore there is not problem, marked as fixed ?
And is not the first time I see this, at this point idk if is a communication problem or is other kind of problem…

Correct me if I’m wrong but is all the changes I see, a commented LOG warning and marked as fixed in public.

You are correct that on further review this one is not fully “fixed”, and there may be others in the same situation. Sometimes solutions to bugs are incremental, and may begin with changes to logging before future fixes occur.

The failure in having it listed as “Fixed” is, as you say, a communication one. The above list comes from a data export of updated tickets from JIRA. Unfortunately JIRA doesn’t have a concept of “partial fixes”, so these get included. Ideally it would be nice to review each code change to verify that an actual fix was made before being added to the list, unfortunately that is not feasible for us when we have some updates as large as this one.

We provide as much information around updates as we can, but that can lead to cases like this. However with the combination of our public JIRA site and access to Github, we have tried to empower our users to access the information that is important to them.

Physics problems added in the 4.14 keep there just awesome

4.14 Nvidia update physics/traces broken - World Creation - Epic Developer Community Forums

Now are even worst and this is not even the vehicles code… the only physics part here is the chasis is really sad UE4 can’t handle 2 cubes colliding…

Hm. This was 4.13 https://youtube.com/watch?v=2XANPekrCiI
Similar glitch.

Regarding issue UE-41065

@;658803

Yeah, that can’t just be “by design” since it breaks all current content. If it is by design, then at least every material needs a checkbox where you can check if you want this new behavior where an emissive blue is getting purple and later white, but that checkbox should be disabled by default for every material that was created before 4.15.

But it is an issue because of how it works, you can no longer get the look you had before. It is impossible now to get any saturated color that’s causing a lot of bloom. For that it has to be multiplied by ~20, but once you do that with any color its just something like white. So you can’t have a strong glowing blue or red material now, they will no longer be blue or red.

So the issue is not only that you would have to redo all your materials, but also that its impossible to get the look you got before.

So has anybody managed to get the old look (a nice saturated color glow with bloom) back? The recommended r.TonemapperFilm 0 is not doing it for me - any other values I have to tweak? I can’t imagine that it is an intended change to make nice glowing materials impossible…

r.TonemapperFilm 0 works fine on my project and others have confirmed the fix.

Ok thanks, then I will try it again and if it doesn’t work post the scenario in the answerhub thread.

We’ve dealt this numerous times in Unreal Slackers and also mentioned here in forums. This bug is most likely cause of bad project upgrade and corrupted data due to it. I have no idea why that happens but it doesn’t happen to me on that same project IF I upgrade it myself (I see some of the issues with Hevedy’s version). I’ve sent Hevedy updated builds for the same project, both for 4.14 and now for 4.15 and he can’t reproduce the issues with version I’ve upgraded.

We are investigating this. Your regular “bumps” actually caused a delay because the posts cause the ‘activity date’ to update, while we investigate the queue from oldest to newest. For this reason, we strongly advise against “bumping” bug reports.

Thanks

Loving these compile times! Keep up the good work.

Is release going to happen in a couple of weeks ? :o

Sooner than that, if all goes well.

Hopefully it should be a pretty easy transition. The plugin is enabled by default, but if you are using vehicle classes in C++ you will need to add a dependency to the PhysXVehicle module to your Build.cs file, so the build system knows about it. The only thing that might need manual work is converting from TireType to TireConfig assets. Here are my draft notes on the topic:

Note: a manual step is required if you want to migrate old ‘TireType’ assets (deprecated in Engine) to the new ‘TireConfig’ assets (defined in the new PhysXVehicles plugin). There is a new console command available in the UE4 Editor that will do this for you - simply summon the console and enter ‘ConvertTireTypes’. This will create new TireConfig assets, copy over properties, and assign them to any VehicleWheel Blueprints. The old TireType assets can then be removed.

In the old system the PhysicalMaterial had a list of TireTypes and their friction scale. Now the TireConfig has a list of PhysicalMaterials with friction scale for each. This is because Engine (which contains the PhysicalMaterial class) cannot depend on classes in the PhysXVehicles plugin.

Where can I find PxVehicleDriveNW.h class to provide support for N-wheeled vehicles? There is no such class in plugin.

Upd: looks like now I have to use PhysXPublic.h for this.

Is it me or is it not possible to have a Map with a Array-Value?
I can’t choose the Value Type as an Array

Try to put the array in a struct and then use a Map of those structs.

In C++ you can have TMaps of TArrays, but in BP you also can’t have TArrays of TArrays, so I would not expect TMaps of TArrays to be possible without using that extra struct.

I know about issue UE-10109 and i just want to note
There is laggish/freezing (few ms) process of “level streaming” in Preview 4 . Ive play with relative settings as well (garbage collection, background async) - doesn’t helps.
Ive tried to run packaged build - better but still few ms freezes. Sound is like blocking game thread.

And Im not sure but i saw issue in roadmap is DONE. Hm… Or not?

Always checked on MacOS, UE 4.15Preview4. Never in windows.

I just want to draw some more** attention** to this. A lot of us have been waiting on it since forever. Data tables are way less useful without it.

Just Quoting you to again draw attention

But yeah, i Agree, this would help soo much!

If I remember right, this isnt possible in C++ either. But I feel like I could be very wrong.

nevertheless, if you wrap the TArray in a struct, you should be able to have it as a value.

By the way: Is there a releas date for 4.15 already?
