I’m playing around with the new skin material from Digital Human Mike and I noticed that it has a bug with changing the textures to parameters. Particularly for the “T_head_sss_ao_mask” and “T_head_micro_mask”. Basically using instances for multi-udim character is impossible right now. Is there a fix coming up for that in 4.20.2?
Thanks!
Sooo, I see that critical bug Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-62310) was moved to 4.20.3, but we haven’t even gotten 4.20.2 yet 
@Amanda.Bott By chance, any word on ETA for 4.20.2 and 4.20.3 releases ?
4.20.2 sure is taking an awfully long time…
I bet that this means that UE4.20.2 as already been build (for instance from this comme #4a13369f “Bumping build version to 4.20.2” by Will Fissler, or one of the few next ones, and they are currently doing QA on it to release it. If I am right, they are going to release it this week, and are already fixing some more bugs that would require another bugfix release a few weeks after
Edit: indeed, the update to this issue is from the same day(2018/08/17) as the 4.20.2 commit
Great work on this update. The curve system in the sequencer really helps.
Check the issue tracker… Still 3 bugs are unresolved for 4.20.2 and 3 more bugs are moved to 4.20.3.

I was stucked on 4.19 for the animation sluttering, thanks for the update!
Got these errors while cross-compiling for Linux from Windows:
non-portable path to file '"logging/LogMacros.h"'; specified path differs in case from file name on disk -Werror,-Wnonportable-include-path] \Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Serialization\BufferWriter.h 11
non-portable path to file '"json.h"'; specified path differs in case from file name on disk -Werror,-Wnonportable-include-path] \Engine\Source\Runtime\Slate\Public\SlateBasics.h 11
Fixed that by modifying LinuxToolChain in our engine build - just added -Wno-nonportable-include-path flag. Maybe it would be useful to someone. Also, Epic should probably fix it.
I’ve installed 4.20.2, made a new project and I’m still getting 157 “cannot open file MyProjectGameModeBase.generated.h” style errors in visual studio. I was under the impression that this problem had been resolved in 4.20.2: Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-62042)
I’m downloading the update right now, so i can only guess : Try refreshing visual studio project files from inside the UE4 editor or by right clicking on the uproject file, maybe that helps.
Doesn’t seem to help, sadly.
I tried deleting 4.20 and then downloading it again in full but the problem persists.
4.20.2 Seems to have broken the D_ARSessionConfig on a new HandHeldAR Blue Print project template. The details to change an AR Session Config no longer appear. This also affects the details of an ARImageCandidate Data Asset. Bug report submitted.
Is there a way to go back to 4.20.1? I can’t seem to choose it anymore even after uninstalling 4.20.2.
Maybe it is not the answer you want to hear, but you can always download an older version of the source code from github and compile it yourself. I think there’s no way to download a previous point version and for now building yourself may be the fastest way to get back to working.
They are listing that bug as fixed for 4.20.3
Anyway it seems UE 4.20 is full of some serious bugs.
The worst thing is that many bugs don’t get fixed in a version but Epic Games forces you to upgrade to a new UE4 release with all new bugs along with new features. That is just so wrong.
At this rate all UE4 versions look like beta software and none becomes really stable with no known bugs anymore because they stop releasing hotfixes and supporting every single release after a few months.
This is just bad.
Why so many member variables and functions in C++ now are private? For example, how do I should replace the use of ‘StartMatch()’ from ‘GameMode’ class? Or ‘SetMaterial()’ from ‘MeshComponent’ class? And so on…
What kind of idiocy.
It’s not a bug. Unreal is just not supposed to work with UDIM.
Some UInstancedStaticMeshComponent members also became private, but even though I use them in some places, the code is compiling. I don’t know how or why it works, but it does.
Yeah, I know that code compiles fine, but this is confusing so much. Why did Epic make that?.. I no longer know what I can use and what not…
Does the new Proxy LOD Tool allow to keep the original materials and UVs, instead of always generating entirely new ones? The regular Merge Tool has a Merge Materials option for this, but I can’t find such an option in the proxy tool anywhere.
