Something wrong with LODs, generated with built-in LOD generator in UE 4.22
Comparison: LODs issue in UE 4.22 - Album on Imgur
Any ideas on how to fix that?
Also, when I tried to submit this bug, I got this: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Hello!
So, as I understand, at this moment there are no support DXR for glass materials? It seems like work only in mirror materials. Works only path tracing this way.
For those who have a dx12 error on RTX, just check your Win10 build version: 1809
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft…load/windows10
I enabled r.RayTracing.AreaLight and my shadows changed so I thought it was working, but now when I go into the Path Tracing view mode everything is pitch black. Any ideas?
An issue was created Unreal Engine Issues and Bug Tracker (UE-70220)
As it turns out, the issue is about start and end position of box trace being the same, which used to work in all previous releases (meaning to trace only the point with box bounds).
Thanks @ support staff for further analysis.
Same problem for me as well.
We have been running a modified 4.21 with the only change being disabling depth compositing to work around the AMD depth buffer corruption driver issues for Oculus. Is this still an issue in 4.22?
I think the bug tracker is still marked as “working as intended.” Auto failing oculus submission approval isn’t workable and neither is waiting for AMD to fix their drivers.
UPDATE!
We have just released Preview 2 for 4.22! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.22 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.

Hi great update 4.22.
I have a question why Unreal don’t make RayTraced work with other card like GTX 900 series?
Unigine supports RayTraced Reflection,GI,Shadow.Ambient Occlusion with other cards,not only RTX.
4.21 vs 4.22 drawcalls A/B testing for Wrench. A 27% reduction without having to do any work is fantastic.
Because they play dirty with nvidia and intel only, and optimize/implement only their features. The current Ray tracing is not what you think it is in Unigine, its nvidia’s only RTX crap.
It is based on Microsofts DXR API which makes it even worse because its not open source, which means all platforms outside Windows running nvidia GPU will not have this.
The Ray tracing inside UE4 is the Nvidia implementation, UE4 should have implemented a vendor agnostic DXR ray trace algorithm that uses modern gpu’s and compute that way nvidia/amd/intel could use it. But they always played close with Nvidia buddy to implement only their tech, both AMD cpu’s and gpu’s have only basic support in UE4.
Also if ray traced dxr takes off this means linux /mobile is dead as gaming platform, for linux/mobile you need a vulkan DXR implementation equivalent that no one invented yet, and mobile doesnt have the power to ray trace and probably never will on silicon chips.
Also DXR was developed aggressively anti-AMD and anti-open standards by Microsoft and Nvidia togheter so they can ■■■■ on competition, and Epic is guilty of further promoting that concept. If that wasnt bad enough with the launch of their games store they started bad market practices by making games exclusive deals, and to make it worse games like Metro exodus cost 49$ in US epic store and 59Euro in european epic store even tough its the same store/game, thats a 17$ difference scam epic style.
Some of the information you are posting are not totally accurate.
Epic implemented DXR which is under DX12. To have DXR working on any non-RTX card (brand of NVidia) the vendor has to provide a driver which is able to provide the DXR API entries to handle DXR workloads (that in theory can be done with compute shaders), being this vendor NVidia itself for their non-RTX cards or AMD or even Intel.
Vulkan has already similar DXR features built into and if a card vendor provides its drivers with that compatibility, they will work on iOS or Linux aswel. Btw Nvidia has Vulkan ready.
The only thing really missing here is a vendor providing the drivers compatible with DXR. When DXR was announced, all companies were made invitations to participate on that specification, also AMD was one of the firsts to do it. Any non-RTX card available in the market today is capable of doing 1 to 2 Gigarays, the RTX 2060 is able to do 5 Gigarays alone. The matter is that NVidia did not only made their solution faster for DXR, but also provided a hardware advantage called RT cores to deal with real time raytracing.
If any time soon, AMD comes with an updated driver for their cards supporting DXR, it will just work, and if they do the same for the Vulkan portion, it will just work. (I know that “it will just work” seems like NVidia propaganda…)
I haven’t yet tried 4.22 preview 2 but I did have an issue with preview 1 where my c++ VR project starts and everything works with the exception that my motion controllers don’t actually move. They remain fixed in space near their spawn location. The HMD moves correctly and the inputs on the oculus touch controllers work fine but they don’t track their position. I haven’t looked into it a great deal. I’ll dig around some more tonight. I quickly switched back to 4.21 and they worked fine there.
Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or if there is an upgrade I need to perform on my end.
Unigine uses Voxel Cone based GI and not Raytracing, which we already have called VXGI. Here is a paper on Bounding Voume Hierarchies which is what the RT Cores in the 20xx cards mainly accellerate: https://graphics.stanford.edu/~boulo…ient_notes.pdf
Now you can use the compute shaders for that, but it just isn‘t fast enough on top of AMD and Maxwell cards having a lot less raw horsepower than something like a 2080 Ti even without the dedicated processing units.
Any news on whether or not RTGI was added to preview 2?
I think it already is under r.raytracing.skylight 1. How do you activate the shadow denoiser?
I figured out how to fix this. Go to your NVIDIA Control Panel and restore your 3D settings to the defaults. Also, since you have multiple GPUs you might want to disable one if the issue still persists.
Yep, it’s there along with Translucency ;-).
So how do you activate it?
Edit: never mind, found it…
r.RayTracing.GlobalIllumination
r.RayTracing.Translucency
Edit 2: It looks absolutely fantastic too…I can’t even believe this is possible. It’s so much better than I had imagined it would be…I mean…I’ve only tested a very basic scene but I am seriously blown away that it is able to render the lighting this realistically in realtime. It looks equivalent to a Blender render that would take like 30 seconds. I bought the 2080 Ti expecting to be a bit underwhelmed by the raytracing stuff (because marketing is marketing), but they honestly weren’t even lying. Wow, wow, WOW, this is seriously impressive stuff.
When I launch UE4.22 preview 2 with -dx12, the engine freezes after a few seconds, without crash warning window.
I’m running a RTX 2080 Max-Q Design on the Razer 15, with the 418.91 drivers.
I have Win10 1809,
In a blank new project I have enabled both the enabled Support Compute Skin Cache and Raytracing in the project settings
I have tried a clean re-install of both the Nvidia drivers and UE4.22 p2.
I have also tried to reset all settings to default in the Nvidia control panel’s 3D settings.
I’m not using any fancy software or anti-virus
Once it’s frozen, in the task manager the UE4 app appears and disappears even when the list is pinned by name : |
any ideas or advice?
Thanks for your help
[EDIT 2] After having a closer look at the GPU activity monitor I can see that UE4editor.exe is running with the 2080 Max Q GPU. For some reason, when I run the editor with the -dx12 arg, with the laptop screen as primary or/ only screen, it freezes after a few seconds. It seems to happen faster when opening the raytracing dropdown menu. It systematically freezes once Pathtracing kicks in or when I fire a raytracing Cvar. But when I run it on a secondary screen as primary / sole screen, everything seems to be in order.
[EDIT 3] I have reported the bug: Case # 00099889
