Couldn’t you set the material to High Quality Reflection for those objects that needed it? I did that at our project and it looks all fine. No problems with ugly reflections at all.
Meaning up to 50% faster in case I’m making a C++ project, for example? 'Cause that was what I was talking about, and it’s huge, is it not?
Meaning 50% faster compilation of your C++ project. So, yes, it’s huge. If you waste ~30 seconds waiting for things to compile when you push the button now, then you should only waste ~15 seconds waiting for things to compile in 4.15, according to the theory.
The speedtree node seems to be a bit broken in 4.15:
Most probably one also has to modify their precompiled header to include only the related UE4 headers…
IMO, you should fit an SSD - it speeds up the build process tremendously. Previously, yes many times you were left wondering what the heck is happening… I pressed Ctrl+Shift+B… nothing seems to be running… and often, it took more than 1 minute to see build text printing in the output window… With SSD it just builds…
But then, I also have VC2005 installed in my machine - I tried to build my old project with it, it is simply wayy faster… lol. Much like turbo pascal vs turbo c 2.0 in my teen years…
Could we get a confirmation whether or not we’ll see some more documentation regarding GameplayTags by the time 4.15 comes out?
The documentation for Gameplay Tags will not yet be available by the time of the 4.15 release. They will be in progress and ready some time afterwards.
Cheers
The note said Engine compilation, not Project compilation. You may see some improvement w.r.t your project build times, but I believe the win is for people who compile the engine themselves.
I had a brief look at using the Logitech G29 steering wheel (ps3/ps4/pc version, slider set to ps4/pc) with the Raw Input plugin.
I created a clean project with 4.15, enbled the plugin and restarted editor.
Then I started a PIE, opened console and ran: showdebug input
The numbers seem to indicate that it senses changes to (most) buttons and axis.
But when pressing and holding a button, I get like one frame where text shows a ‘1’ for that button and then it goes back to ‘0’
Axis are also a bit finnicky in that the output changes when pressing pedals, but values are also only shown for a frame or so before returning to ‘0’
This was with and without drivers installed.
Is this intended behaviour?
Is there anything else I need to do?
When using the virtual joystick vJoy, the button is indicated as ‘1’ until it is released and then it returns to ‘0’.
I have not put anything in DefaultInput.ini
Colors seem to be wrong in 4.15P1:
Thank you for the info!
The UE4 Trello road map page has mixed reality capability set to release in January or February. Any update on that? Also, any that Paper2D Sprites will become stereoscopic capable in the near future? Thanks!
The roadmap tells us about the development period, not a release date. So here you should not expect a release before UE4.16, but it could even slip further to 4.17, depending on the time it takes to integrate it into master.
SetKeyboardFocus doesn’t work
Any news on this? I can’t package Google VR projects for distribution and that’s THE dealbreaker for mobile VR
UPDATE!
We have just released Preview 2 for 4.15! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.15 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.
Cheers!

Thanks for all your hard work Guys, I had a feeling there would be the second preview. I cant wait to port my project over, when 4.15 is official. I have a feeling thats the last update before we release.
-Cheers
Assuming nothing unforeseen causes delays, we plan to still have two more updated previews before release.
Cheers
Hehe. My guess is that get to Preview 6!
Nice fixes for mobile VR
