Tempo?

PREVIEW!

Sound Quality Levels give sound designers the ability to manage audio memory usage and some performance
Asynchronous Real-time Audio Decompression available on supported platforms

[/]

Does this mean we will be able to control the tempo in music tracks?

When i try to build it with VS i get these: error system unothorised access exception: access to the path xxxxxxxx win64\UEEditor.exe is denied

error MSB3073 The command xxxxxxx\BatchFiles\Build.bat xxxx Win64 Development xxxxxxx spartan.uproject -rocket exited with code -1

I am using windows 10 (i guess the final build since they release tomorrow). Is this some sort of windows permissions or something else?

Thank you.

Will {4.9} support visual 2015 ?
[/]

VS2015 is not yet supported in UE 4.9 Preview. We expect experimental support via in the final 4.9.0 release. This will be fully supported in a future release (possibly 4.10).

[]
Will {4.9} support Windows 10 64-bit?
[/]

UE 4.9 is expected to run on Windows 10, but has not been thoroughly tested. Please let us know if you encounter any unique issues.

[]
I hope directx12 is gonna be integrated in the full release of 4.9
[/]

DX12 has some early integration in 4.9, but is very experimental at this stage. To enable it, you run the editor on Windows 10 with the -D3D12 parameter.

[/]

These are what I’m most looking forward to with anything that has an underline being on the top of my interest list

Still comes with TADP 2.08???

Grogger · July 28, 2015, 6:39pm

I’m always hoping to see improvements in UMG or news on Sequencer, but beggars can’t be choosers and all that

Still, a nice list of things to look forward to!

Any hope for POM expressions in 4.9?

Lovecraft_K · July 28, 2015, 6:39pm

So, a few things I noticed in 4.9:

Some materials stay gray. They compile correctly, but once applied on a mesh they just stay with the gray default material…
[/]

Hi -

Can you be more specific as to what types of materials are exhibiting this behavior? A screenshot of the material setup would also be help to track down this issue for you.

Thank You -

And then why thistrello.com/c/qhePlTZH/652-done-4-9-windows-vs-2015-support-experimental say for 4.9 VS 2015 ?

Hi hippowombat -

Do a search for ParallaxOcclusionMapping in the Material Editor… You will be pleasantly surprised.

Edit: nice. Do you plan to add Silhouette POM as well ?

Peude · July 28, 2015, 6:54pm

I Hope more update and new features here - Good luck for new release and Marketplace items assets adjustment again

Galeon · July 28, 2015, 6:59pm

Any speed up system to decrease lightmass calculation times ?

It is built into the Parallax Mapping Function, by default Occlusion Mapping is turned off for performance reasons but it can be accessed via the same material function as a bool.

Nobody · July 28, 2015, 7:07pm

Awesome stuff! Can’t wait for the full-release notes, always love scrolling through them
