On the other hand I did several tests and I managed to have location and rotation of the camera of the viewport editor, but on the other hand impossible to have the position X and Y of the mouse in the viewport editor, the two nodes ( Get mouse position on platform , “” and on viewport ) give me an absolute position of my screen, I also can’t recover the size and absolute position of the viewport editor.
I would like to know if you have a blueprint solution for this, because as the tick is enabled in the editor I would like to be able to interact directly with the viewport editor to create extensions to the blueprint editor.
Is r.RayTracing.Translucency working? I have been trying ray tracing features since preview1 but, I have not made it working. Any setting for lights, materials, renderings? so that I can see lights go through transparent objects in a level?
Hello, I did a lot of testing on the blueprint editor widget editor which is really great, but I think some nodes are missing to be able to use it fully.
I created a post in the feedback forum.
When closing a VR preview window the VR view is put on top of the editor window making it impossible to see/do anything in the editor. Is this a known issue?
Edit: This was caused by VR auto entry, seems like the “exit VR” part of it doesn’t work for me.
exact same issue with an asus laptop with a 2070 card, i think its a conflict between nvidia and intel graphics card, when i package the project, everything works as expected, that makes me think its somehow related to the fact thata packaged project is fullscreen and unreal is not, i tried the ue4 fullscreen mode still the same problem. the only workaround is the second monitor now, however i can disable the intel graphics card as the engine is on, then unplug the hdmi, then it works on the main monitor by fooling the engine somehow, which makes me think its a software problem since theres a way it works on the main monitor.
unfortunately i cant disable the intel card, since the monitor is connected to it. i somehow think that a lot of people with rtx laptops have similar problems, i just want to know if its something fixable, since i bought a brand new laptop mainly to use for unreal, if you say its not that easy to fix it i can at least return the laptop before its too late
so any feedback or help on this situation from epic team would be greatly appreciated. ps: you guys rock.
Really anxious to know more about the skeletal mesh LOD system discussed. I don’t have space on this single SSD install to spare for another engine build right now. Any further information anyone would care to provide about it all would be most appreciated. I’ll just have to try hard to contain my excitement and expectations for now!
I’m currently working on some character optimizations, so it could affect my workflow, in a hopefully most positive way!

Denoiser now makes the default sky turn black and also turns some materials into black. I spent 20 mins to figure out what was wrong after enabling global illumination, finally turning off denoiser solved the problem but of course the scene doesnt look that good with the denoiser turned off. I also tried the same thing with a totally new project and a blank scene, its still the same problem.
Edit> I realized denoiser brakes all transcluent materials, skydome fixed when converted into opaque, also the other transcluent materials are all total black.
Same Problem, though with my scene the skydome is already opaque and still renders as black with either the skylight denoiser or global illumination denoiser on.
