Unreal Engine 4.26 released!

Potential Engine Bug when creating new enums, resulting in this error


Cannot create SoftObjectPath with short package name 'NewEnumerator0'! You must pass in fully qualified package names

See related AnswerHub posts https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/1001553/cannot-create-softobjectpath-with-short-package-na.html

This bug can not be resolved by removal of the culprit enum, or all related content. Has to go back and activate a backup.

Just turn it (4.27) on! LOL

I have got a similar error message, but because of another reason and it seems to be working with UE4.26.2 in my case (downloaded and compiled the engine), but got a similar error again which I am still trying to figure how I broke it and then send a ticket for it.

In my case it may have to do with moving an enum item in a newly created enum.

In my case was related to a blueprint having an ā€œeditableā€ parameter which was a struct and if you remove the struct, the packaging process go without errors. There might still be something under the hood which I have not realized yet, but at least this seems to be the issue. Since I don’t have time for an extensive engine debugging section to reach the root cause, I will probably just send a ticket if 4.26.2 does not fix that entirely.

Does Chaos caching work?

No Chaos.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything VR related. Until Epic understands commercial potential of consumer grade VR (Quest, whether it’s PC or standalone) and someone does large VR project using UE4 (or Oculus pays Epic to make one), VR in UE4 will always be a second-class citizen and bugs will continue migrating from release to release unfixed.

EPIC will understand the potential of consumer VR when it’s there.
The truth is that all grand VR projects have been disappointing.
Even a top-tier brand-name production like Half-Life: Alyx succeeded nowhere near what you’d get from a similarly-resourced traditional game development effort.
VR is a niche. Some niches are important – virtual TV studios, virtual movie making, architecture visualization, and all the rest, are also niches. (As is games!) EPIC gives VR some love because it’s a niche that’s interesting, drives technology forward, and may someday become really important. But that day is not today.

Oh it’s here, but just not on epic scale … yet :slight_smile:

Quite subjective statement, but yes, there aren’t whole a lot of big names out there.

Because it’s a PC VR game that requires you to have PC VR which is pricey. Had it been on Quest, you better believe it would make a lot more noise and money.

Same here and all drivers up-to-date.

I have a rtx 3080, and happens only on my main monitor 2560x1440.

I have exactly the same problem.

RTX 2060 - Newest NVIDIA Driver - Tested with Game Ready or Studio drivers. Same issue on both.

Happens on my main monitor too.

I also see this with a 3060 Ti. Only fix has been to close and reopen the editor.

There are exactly zero VR games that have been sales successes comparable to even a mid-level console game. This is not subjective, it’s easily measurable in that one unit that’s impossible to fake: dollars.

Can anyone from Epic weigh in on whether they plan on supporting working water, clouds and particles in VR in v4.26? Looks like 4.26.2 does not contain the fixes many were hoping for.

Give me access to meta humans already! i’ll make them all day long and you can give them free on bridge lol

Motorcep Is a bit off but not fully correct… Epic is working on XR but they just don’t have enough XR staff to work on VR features atm. I only know of 2 staff that work on XR and sadly if you look at the job requirements to be on the XR staff you will realize WHY the staff is low. if you have any questions about VR features or a list of the ones not working post them in a topic and ask for help. there are tons of VR devs that can help you find workarounds if you ask for help

i disagree. oculus sells beat saber with tons of sucess. the issue is that oculus keeps making new
hadrware and don’t give access to games that should be on that platform. oculus has closed off sucess for many of the games that would be very sucessful like vr tennis. oculus are just very selfish trying to hold the market at a standstill for their own games and ā– ā– ā– ā–  whoever else wants access.

Does 4.26.2 have Chaos?
