Hi Illusionweaver -

It looks currently that this issue is still in process and will likely not be ready for 4.9 release.

Thank You

Ouch, that means that VR projects are still stuck in 4.7 until 4.10 is released? That’s not good

Here you go!

I did some digging and it turns out that this is still under assessment. We have not found a consistent reproduction so we’re still looking into what is going on and what the root cause of it is.

Hey -

Can you let me know if you are attempting to apply this material to a Custom Mesh (Procedurally Generated) or an imported mesh?

Thank You -

Hi , I have never used procedurally generated meshes, so I use a regular imported mesh.

Hey Illusionweaver -

You may want to test 4.9 Preview 1, it looks like a interim fix has been applied to allow for this issue to work correctly though it is still considered in testing at the moment.

Thank You

Ketchum

Every time I click the “+” button in a landscape grass type to add a new type of grass, the editor crashes.

John_Alcatraz · July 31, 2015, 12:03am

Another thing I noticed is, I can no longer type “lerp” in the material editor, I need to type “linear interpolate” to find the node. Same with “+”, it does not find anything, I need to search for “add”.

@ Punctuation marks aren’t pack animals :rolleyes:

Thanks for this preview! Will try it as soon as possible. Your download servers are a bit overloaded, I only get 1.6 MB/s.

that’s quite fast internet speed mine only like 194 KB/s.

Welcome to the forums Omar I appreciate that you have registered to the forums to tell me about your internet speed Now I am sad, since it’s really slow I wish you best luck to get a better connection any time soon. :o

After I upgraded to Win10, both 4.8 and 4.9P1 are causing my GPU to crash (“stopped responding and had to reset”) randomly. After I hit Play, it resets after about 1-2 minutes. This behavior has been observed 5 times in a row.

For some reason, it doesn’t seems to crash until I hit Play or manipulate actors in the level. Even if “Real Time” is on. I can edit blueprints just fine.

My GPU is a Gigabyte Radeon R9 285. Catalyst 15.7.1. Playing on the Third person template.

Using the -D3D12 switch, the GPU crashes immediately after the splash screen (when the Editor is going to open).

Great features and improvements, keep it up, looking forward Is UE-16448 fixed in first preview ?

Hi ,

This bug is still under assessment by the development staff and has not yet received a fix.

Hi ,

I was able to reproduce this and have entered a bug report, UE-19461 to be assessed by the development staff. For now, if you hold the L key and LMB it should create a lerp node at your mouse location.

[/]

I’m attempting to reproduce this on my end but have thus far been unsuccessful. Here are the steps I am taking, please let me know if you did anything differently so I can test more accurately:

Open Editor (any project)
Create new material
Open material
Add a Landscape Grass Output Node
Press the + sign to add a grass type element

At this point it should crash. I attempted to reproduce this under more extreme circumstances with no additional luck (grass output node with 200 elements). Is there anything I need to do differently?

Can we expect the feature that was talked about that would allow us to use different meshes for different “ages” of foliage types, in the final 4.9 release? Please can I get an answer on this, it keeps getting ignored when asked.

[= Noland;343860]
Looks like no, that has not been implemented.

Cheers,
Noland

Thanks for the answer! Do you know if it’s planned at all? Would be a very useful feature. Right now clustering is pretty worthless if it means the whole cluster will be the same mesh, looks kinda rubbish.

Birbir · July 31, 2015, 2:49pm

Does it mean you guys releasing unreal 5 pretty soon? What features you plan to include? Is there any road map for it for public? Personally would love development of paper 2D and beating 2d unity games with unreal paper2D

After 4.9 comes 4.10 . I don’t think there are any official plans for UE5 yet.

Yeah, I did not mean the Landscape Grass Material node, but the “Landscape Grass Type”. So right click in the content browser, go to miscellaneous and create a “Landscape Grass Type” and open it and click the + sign. Then the editor crashes
