Unreal Engine 4.25 released!

[ste1nar]

Been getting a lot of crashes in 4.25, which I think is related to Primary Data Asset. Been making child blueprints, inheritance and data asset properties inside data assets.
Tends to happen when adding new properties, changing property types or setting new values.
But also seemingly randomly when working with unrelated classes.
The logs does not provide any information.
Sometimes crash, sometimes permanent (20 minutes or more) freezes.
Still trying to repro it, but wonder if someone else is experiencing the same.

I tried primary data assets a few engine versions ago and some of them wouldn’t replicate over network. Couldn’t reliably reproduce the bug, it only happened when they got complicated, had structs within structs, etc. Decided it wasn’t a stable technology and stayed away since then. Looks like it’s still unstable.

Hey, I just noticed that my github name is spelled incorrectly in the contributors list. It should be jessicafalk, not jessicafolk

Groom looks really well so far , but UE4.25 crashes when I insert a physics capsule while groom is parented.

I tried compiling UE4 4.25 on Visual Studio Community 2017 and I got these errors:

Error aborting build on error (2) UE4 C:\SourceCode\UE4\UE4_4.25.0-release\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\dbsbuild 1
Error D8049 cannot execute 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64\c1xx.dll': command line is too long to fit in debug record UE4 C:\SourceCode\UE4\UE4_4.25.0-release\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\cl 1

UE4 C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 44

Did anybody else got these errors too? Is there a way to fix the “command line is too long to fit in debug record” error?

Hi guys! Text3D doesn’t work on Android, can’t package apk.
(bug submission form doesn’t work, so I post here)
To reproduce bug: enable Text3D plugin, place Text3D actor anywhere, and try to package apk

I am getting an error when i launch 4.25. It pops up with " The procedure entry point DXGIGetDebuginterface1 could not be located in the dynamic library dxgi.dll" I dont get this message when I launch 4.24 and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the engine as well as re-downloaded C++ framework. i did get this DXGIGetDebugInterface1 function (dxgi1_3.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn as a starting point for the issue. I am on windows 7 and beleive that could be the problem. What I am really wondering is will this effect my project if i use 4.25 anyway ? or will it cause me issues later on ? or will it effect only the Microsoft App store stuff outside of the engine ? any possible solutions for this ?

Hi
I also get an error when i launch 4.25
Any help is very welcome

Did something went wrong with UnrealLightmass and/or static shadowing?

I can’t say what sort of problems with the editor doing this might cause, but one way to get around the compile error due to TraceServices/SessionService.h is to first comment out the line which includes it at the top of UnrealInsightsCLI.cpp, and then further down also comment out most of the function ‘Command_ReportFromConnection’ and just have it return 0.

After that, my full solution build succeeds with no errors.

exporter 3ds max 4.25

@Slavq

Spline Meshes don’t have collision in Packaged game when it’s spawned or altered at runtime.
I already reported this for 4.24 - it was working properly in 4.23, so it was 4.24 that introduced this bug. The issue is still here, in 4.25. More info:

Please fix this.

no but seriously how can raytracing be production ready without light transmission? should I assume it is coming up soon or should I go back to primarily raster?

I reported this a while back but wanted to check if anyone else using Visual Studio 2019 with c++ projects is encountering an Intellisense issue with there components? If you have resolved this please share solution

Yes, currently (4.25) virtual texture lightmaps are broken. If you revert to the old method for lightmaps baking works again and your shadows will be there as before

When you have the IggyScrotch Phoenix mesh in your level, you likely get this error message when upgrading to 4.25.
