Unreal Engine 4.19 Preview

Just wanted to drop two HTML5 bugs, I posted them on AnswerHub, note 4.19 PREV 4.

Request Headers CORS - Third Party API

ClientTravelFailure - Wrong path for map file

We are waiting for 4.19 release for our project to get started, I hope it’ll be soon

There seems to be some encoding bug with saving files. We’ve tested this on about 5 computers now. There are 3 computers that can read all .uasset files regardless of who saved them last, and there are 2 computers that can’t open .uasset files that was last saved by one of the 3 other computers. This is only an issue with the 4.19 preview, not 4.18 or 4.17 when we previously worked with those engine versions.

It might have something to do with the fact that the set of 3 computers have Norwegian language operating systems, whereas the two others have English. Which would make sense if the encoding is not done using the same charsets, as Norwegian operating systems can read English charsets just fine, but English operating systems can have trouble reading Norwegian charsets.

At the very least, it’s probably an issue with how .uasset files are encoded in the current 4.19 preview.

Anyone else getting issue:

“A feature level 5 video card is required to run the editor”

What can I do to solve this? Do I really need a better card to open the engine? Using a 9800GT while I wait for stock to arrive

The 9800GT only supports shader model 4.0, so that error message seems appropriate in your case.
You should probably wait until you have a graphics card that supports shader model 5. ^^

Hello,

With the latest 4.19 I’m experiencing continuous stutter in a VR project that runs fine in 4.18 (HTC VIVE). Within the same project I created a new map with just a light and two cubes and the stutter was still present. This is noticeable only when moving or rotating my head.

Also the project uses the Leap Motion plugin and in the map where I use it, the hand tracking has some issues where the hand meshes sometimes get stuck in mid air or stop appearing.

Are any of these known issues?

Thanks!

Pretty sure I read somewhere that SM5 GPU’s were going to be mandatory with a future release. They might have gone ahead and done that for 4.19.

Maybe try an older version of the engine while you wait?

UPDATE!

We have just released Preview 6 for 4.19! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.19 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.

Sweet thanks. Sounds like 4.19 is going to be super solid.

Preview #6??? I think we need to do away with the term “preview” with a number after it.

Think of them as release candidates, not previews. I agree the nomenclature is a bit wacky.

Yes, sixth preview… Much :smiley: but look at number of bugs they fixed, amazing job. I sumarized all bugs in one documnent here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GAhVeCxr3nmVrAOClX7IxPU5UTtlmVDoWVXgD-DnjWM/edit?usp=sharing

Well… there’s an easier way to see all fixes of public issues… :wink:

Lol you kidding? That gpu is a decade outdated.

Hello! I’m using 4.19 preview to do some test with Steam Audio. now in preview 6 i can finally create probes to calculate occluion, reverbs…etc… and it works! so then i try to pack everything for mobile ETC1 but i “loose” all the sound features when playing it in my mobile (the sound plays without any Steam Audio calculation).

Is anyone testing it? maybe i’m doing something wrong

I think 9800GT is still very fast. Me myself is using 8600MT, and still can do development without much fuss.

Cant package or launch for Android.
