For some reason my Visual Studio 2019 keeps restarting when I open a new c++ project, is there a fix for this?
Is anyone else having issues with lighting being really bright in engine, and really dark in a packaged build?
Lighting seems broken in 4.25 preview 3

BUG due to windows update. I HATE YOU MICROSOFT.
So After updating to 4.25 our game has been running great and without issues until.
However 2 days ago a microsoft WINDOWS update came through and now
our games audio comes though the PC speakers.(Dumb Microsoft)
instead of our rift headset. It is an easy fix to go into MICROSOFT â â â â Advanced audio settings
and set the game to use rift audio by default but this should not beâŚ
Thankyou MICROSOFT BAD UPDATES FOR THIS â â â â UPDATE 
Issue #1 after updating to preview 4 it still says it is preview 3 in the launcher even after restarting the launcher.
just an FYI <3
it shows as preview 4 after system restart.
Still he same problem after the update
âUATHelper: Packaging (Android (ETC2)): ERROR: Unhandled exception: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file âC:\Users\Paul\Documents\Unreal Projects\Game - 4.25\Intermediate\Android\gradle\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xmlâ because it is being used by another process.â
After proper shutdown and restart of Launcher, not just closing(minimizing), it displays correctly for me.
Are you installing the android packages when installing ue4? see my image below
then checkmark
then click apply so it installs all of the Android featuresâŚ
3D Navmesh, Flying AI - when, please?
There are plugins for that on the marketplace, they are or were free at some point. 
Hi! Yes. Android package is installed.
The error occurs at about 80% of the packaging for Android.
Yes we know that and some others 3rd parties.
I meant, when UE will have native 3D AI solutions. Without that UE still feels âmostly fpsâ, ground-bound engine.
Donât get me wrong: i love UE4 very much. But this aspect is sad.
Still no Chaos. Would it do any good to get the source and compile? Donât waste your time. It doesnât compile.
installed 4.25.0.p4 - trying to build for Oculus Quest. Converted a working 4.24 project to 4.25. Build for Android is fine is p4.
When starting the app on the Quest its stuck at the three blinking dots. Have to reboot the Quest to get control back.
Anyone successfully launched an app on Quest with this p4?
Hi All,
just jumped shop to 4.25 preview with an existing project and low and behold it now looks very different to how it it did before. I know there has been changes to Exposure overall and I probably shouldnât have jumped the gun in hindshight.
looking here
i see that there is a hidden value AutoExposureBiasBackup that can if i understand correctly bring my original settings back. Does anyone know how i access and activate this?
many thanks
Dan
Hi DamirH,
can ou expand on how to set this kind of material up please? Managed to find the âThin Translucent Materialâ from the palette but have no further idea how to integrate this into my existing material?
it has an input for a transmittance colour but not sure what goes into what here;)
it is for a glass headlight.
thanks for any guide on this.
Best
Dan
EDIT** found the shading model âthin translucentâ option on my material node. but not sure on how to go about integrating this into my exisitng material for my headlight. any help woul be appreciated.
Ported one of my c++ projects but unfortunately there is an issue with my Visual Studio 2019, it constantly restarts and is unusable
After updating to 4.25.0 preview 4, reflection captures are causing the level to be super bright.
To reproduce, create a new level and add a streaming level with no lights. Add a single point light with default settings. Add 1 Sphere Reflection Capture. Everything seems fine. Now add another Sphere Capture and everything is blown out. This seems to be linked to the auto exposure but I have that turned off in the project settings. I didnât notice this in previews 2 and 3.
Is this a bug or is there a setting I need to track down and change?
Hereâs a screenshot of the Sequencer demo scene with just one point light and two sphere reflection captures:
I can confirm this issue. I am not sure whether it is related to VS2019 or Resharper plugin, however It was not happening in previous previews.
