This is true, It will be great when it finally gets here
how can i enable chaos cloth on mobile
Another example of exposure light difference happening in 4.26.
Hereâs a default scene created in 4.25 and opened in 4.26. As you can see its a slightly brighter in 4.26.
Do 4.26 final gets foliage fix out of box that causes foliage animation(ray traced) show black waves with animation? problem is that per mesh it can be fixed with Evaluate World Position Offset but with instanced i have not found how to fix?
I managed to build UE4.26 p5 from source for Windows, but when I try to Launch a game from the Editor, the whole editor freezes, and even after hours nothing happens. I think the Launch functionality is broken.
Then I tried building a game from VisualStudio instead and cooking resources via Cook Server (cook on the fly) and that results in another issue - the cooking server takes instantly whatever amount of ram I have (around 28 to 32 gigs) and after some time (after swapping to the disk) it either crashes or my PC crashes.
My project is not that complicated and was working perfectly with UE4.25.
Does anybody experience the same issues?
Edit: It turns out I had installed an old version of SN-DBS, that somehow was causing this and other issues, uninstalling SN-DBS it seems to be fixing the issue.
Did you look at it? 
That board is more of a source of ridicule than information:
Too bad, though. I hate being kept in the dark even if I fully understand the intent behind it.
I did look at it, yes, but it didnât answer my question and I didnât want to be a nuisance lol but basically preview 5 broke a project I was working on due to a silly bug, nothing even major, and Iâm not able to work on the project until the next update and I was hoping to get a time frame of when I will be able to work on it again. OR how to fix a serialization mismatch lol either works for me. It seems like they push previews around noon so Iâm assuming itâs not going to happen today but I also donât see any pattern of release so Iâm just left checking the forum all day every day 
You should never use the Preview version for the actual project development. This entire point of Preview, let developers test the engine.
And Epic does actively work on features during the Preview phase, making breaking changes in code since nobody should use Preview for ongoing development.
Hi,
I wanted to point out a small artifact problem on the mesh and moving actor when you lower the âVolumetric lightmap detail cell sizeâ parameter to 10 or 20 for example (for archviz).
An idea ? a parameter to change ?
PS : no problem with the same parameter if I bake the scene with classic lighting build cpu
Thank you in advance.
You can see an example in video: GPU Lightmass vs classic lightmass with the same settings :
**And you can reproduce the problem like this: **
1- Create a new project in 4.26 with raytracing ( 3rd person project for example )
2- activate plug in gpu-lightmass
3- enable virtual texture for lightmap.
3- set parameter âVolumetric lightmap detail cell sizeâ to 10 or 20.
4- Switch all lighting elements to Static ( Light Source / Sky Light / AtmosphericFog )
5- Launch a build light with GPU lightmass.
6- Place near the wall in the shadow, for example, a basic Mesh like a Cube in movable

Yes, I am totally aware of this. Unfortunately the plugin I am using (DMX) was totally overhauled in 4.26 so updating from a 4.25 project is not possible. After realizing this I already had scrapped my 4.25 project to take advantage of the new system and performance updates. Iâm not really begging or anything, was just looking for any info on a release schedule if there is any so I can keep testing everything out and planning for when the update is out of preview mode. And honestly, Iâm struggling to find work right now and feed my family and this was a big idea for me and Iâm really hoping I can use this project as a way to make ends meet currently. Thank you for the info though and sorry if my question was a bother.
UPDATE!
We have just released Preview 6 for 4.26! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.26 build before its official release. As a reminder, the Preview builds are for testing only, and should not be used for active development of your project.
For a list of known issues affecting this latest preview, please follow the links provided on the original post in this thread.

This makes no sense. Every version is a preview of future versions and experimental features. And they are all full of bugs waiting to be fixed in next versions
Iâve never seen a fully UE stable version and I donât expect one.
Non preview versions can break any project like any preview version, thatâs why you need to backup your work, not waiting for a stable version that will never come.
If you want to go that way, consider then stable versions (without preview label) as âversions with official supportâ and preview versions (with preview label) as âversions without official support meant only to gather feedbackâ. Using a preview version of UE in production is âuse at your own risk, we donât give you guarantees about anythingâ.
hope gpu lightmass will be useable by the time its released. Right now the point light gput bake intensity is so dim compared the cpu bake and realtime versions. Plus that 128 light limit is lameâŚ
Does anyone know how to stream Alembic ?
Well, preview versions usually have a lot more issues and bugs, so naturally itâs great that they exist. Of course, we know that UE doesnât really have âstable versionsâ, as every version breaks something that worked before, but probably itâs not the concept they should change, but instead, they should only release a new version, when it has no known regressions compared to the previous version (and all regressions discovered in the release should be fixed in a patch).
Using a non preview version doesnt guarantee anything either.
My contribution to improving the widget elements of the Ue 4.26 engine:
- Wrap Box now supports checkbox wrapping.
- Wrap Box stretches as much as possible in width if it is not limited by the canvas or other elements of the widget. Please add to the new version.
Preview 6, like all other 4.26 previews, still runs blank map at 40fps while 4.25 runs it at +150 fps.
Can people confirm having the same issue or not?
The water system allows to play with wave settings, but it affects all the waves.
Is it possible to do custom settings for each wave?
