Switching animation blueprints is broken in 4.22, as described here. https://answers.unrealengine.com/que…7556/view.html
EDIT: I’ve since found a working fix for me, and posted the details here in the original answer. Hope that helps someone else!
This is a pretty bad blocking bug and hard crashes the engine/editor on a basic use case, so I’m curious:
Seeing as the fix is in the repo, when might we expect 4.22.3 to be released? Days? Weeks?
Well, yes, but there’s a way around this. Ray-tracing in gaming will mature with the release of new consoles next year, the next generation of AMD and NVidia cards.
It’s already safe to develop the game with ray-tracing in mind if you’re gonna release game around that time or later. We don’t need majority of consumers to able run it yet.
i dont care about consoles … i care about pcs… and many pc gamers are still running on gtx280… not 2080TI rtx… plus if your product is in vr… you need all the fps you can get.
And development of ray-tracing brougt us mesh drawing refactor with dynamic mesh instancing which increases framerate (depends on game, of course).
At least ray-tracing was one of the main reason for doing it now.
Funny thing is that many people could say “I don’t care about VR, foucs on flat games”, but such statements would lead us nowhere. It’s general purpose engine used to develop very different products.
Does it usually take extra time to push the latest release to the “release” branch on Github or something? Currently it’s still on 4.22.2.
Something weird going on with the 4.22.3 release. It keeps trying to install Datasmith. If I cancel the Datasmith install (I don’t use it) it stops the 4.22.3 update. Trying to click the “uninstall” button in “Installed Plugins” (how’d Datasmith get installed?) it tries to download Datasmith anyways…
Welp the hard crash on SetAnimInstanceClass still remains in 4.22.3 (or isn’t listed as fixed, at least).
That’s 4 releases in 4.22 and a couple previews it’s been broken now :o
(workaround here)](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/887556/set-anim-instance-node-causing-crashes.html?childToView=903467)
I’m gonna give it a try in a bit, but yeah, not listed. Kinda sucks because my project is BP only, so I can’t really take advantage of any of the workarounds. Guess I just won’t be upgrading to 4.22 for this project.
EDIT: Gave my project a shot after updating, and it still crashes when SetAnimInstanceClass is called.
Forgot that plugins are fairly easy to make with Unreal,
so I made one quick that should help BP only users.
Try this, instructions in the repo:
I cant find Gauntlet example for ActionRpg. Where they are?
well i don’t seem to be having any problems… shadows are fine, BP’s all seem to work… in fact my FPS seems to have improved by at least 30%… so as josey wales might say, ‘i got no complaints’… good work guys…
Works like a charm! Thanks so much!
Glad to hear.
(I also didn’t realize it was your answers post, hah).
Since the 4.22.2 hotfix (and still happening in 4.22.3) I sometimes get pdb access denied errors when building my C++ game modules from VS2019. This happens when UE4Editor is running.

and so on. The workaround is to close UE4Editor, build, and then start UE4Editor again. It works, but it’s slower than a build and hot reload. This problem doesn’t happen all the time and I’m not sure what conditions cause it to happen, at the moment it appears random.
Is anyone else seeing this? I’m on VS2019 16.1.3.
I’ve troubles with latest UE 4.22 build from Epic games github repo. on win10 v1903. To the point of having BSOD while opening anim blueprint while ray tracing is on.
This still happens in 4.22.3
Hi!
I have a game crashes when using old video cards from ATI (for example: AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000, AMD Radeon HD 6310, ATI Radeon HD 5450 and so on). At that only 32-bit version of the game crashes, 64-bit version works perfectly! And it happens not only in our game, but also in any other project on UE4.22.
Here’s the call-stack:

Please help me to fix this problem.
I’m slightly shocked Win32 is still a platform (I though UE4 had dropped support for it in the last couple updates).
The latest Steam Hardware survey has 32-bit systems at ~1.4%. I would say don’t compile Win32 if you don’t have to.
At the moment we are working with Big Fish Games. The main platform for them is win32.
Well, you’re failing to initialize your D3D11 device so start from there. Try and grab the error code and see what the driver is returning.
