Unreal Engine 5.0 Preview

Pretty sure its just a name change. Under the hood, in C++ its still just a floating point number.

VHFMesh doesnā€™t work in preview 1.

And since you deleted tessellation for some odd reason with zero discussion, and we have no full alternatives, the ones we have are unstable and in general a much lower workflow quality compared to tessellation. , weā€™re in a bit of a situation.

TAA quality seems to have taken a massive hit. Also new FPS template has a ton of flickering on the bricks. Could be an issue with TSR/TAA or the cubes/textures.

There seems to be an issue when you have Lumen + Volumetric clouds + volumetric fog. Weird things start happening to the fog.

Two steps forward, two steps back.

yes kinda broken like hell. alpha version was more stable

Congratulations!
Hopefully the bug of blueprint animation of scene setting has been solved :]

I donā€™t know if this is EA as well, but it looks like the Editor accepts (Ctrl + D) for duplicate rather than (Ctrl + W)

Took me a minute of pressing it over and over to then right click and see that the button has been changed to what it is in every other application.

While the path youā€™ve selected is only 43 characters long, its about 6 characters too long and is failing due to how deep the installed file paths end up being as they end up going over the 260 limit windows has.

Can try modifying to E:\Epic Games\

Anyone succeeded in making a light build using Epicā€™s GPUlightmass plugin?

Im getting an error after building lights & denoising: LogTemp: Static lighting system is removed for world

In project settings:

  • GI disabled in Project settings
  • reflection set to screen space, Same in PPV.
    In World setting:
  • Force No Precomputed Lighting disabled

Tested with a converted project that runs fine in 4.27.2 and also a brand new game project in which a 4.27.2 level was migrated into.

Edit 220225: thereā€™s no error if you create everything from scratch in 5.0.0.p1.
Edit 220226: too bad - there is an error (again) even if you build everything from scratch in 5.0.0.p1 - bug is reported. Lightbake is useless
Edit 220325 Issue is solved, see Epic's GPUlightmass - #281 by maxbrown

I have make a new Project in Preview 1. I have add a Landscape, a Char (with chancing moving speed), Function Library, new Actors. Then i Exit the Editor and save my Project. After i Reload my Project, i CanĀ“t Load my Map again.

Failed to load map!
ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/ā€¦/Unreal/P1/Hawk001 5.0/Content/ThirdPerson/Maps/ThirdPersonMap.umap appears to be an asset file.

In Content Browser all my Assets away, even the defaultThird Person Char and ThirdpersonMap. But in Windows Explorer all files are showing.

UE5 Preview crash while importing datasmith with textures, in fact everything look messed.

The project crashes every time I enable Ray Tracer Translucency. Even a new project crashes.

Can anyone confirm that the CustomDepth Pass is broken in this release?. Had no problems with 5.0 EA release, but doesnā€™t seem to be working properly in Preview 1 release.

Thanks in advance.

Confirmed with certain skeletal meshes and Marketplace animations.
Log submitted.

Edit:
Fixed with https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/720a536

Hey! Love that update is here! thank you developers for such an amazing software <3

Has anyone noticed an issue with Megascans in the preview? I opened scene from UE5 EA2 in P1 and it seems that all the meshes from megascans are now blurry, normals, and all maps loaded up eventually, but still unsure. And I wasnā€™t able to load new files even if Bridge is active and download was working, no new file appeared to load into the scene. Anyone?

Also, shallow water doesnā€™t work anymore, meaning water I had in the previous scene is deleted, while the effect of ā€œpond areaā€ is left. Just noting!

ty, itā€™s really weird cuz all the others instaled without any issue on this folder, even the previous unreal 5 test version iā€™ve installed all on this path and no issues, just this one which have this issue.

but as you told iā€™ve changed and now is installing, thanks, really weird, which they made a so small limit for this, i really hope they fix it later.

I just posted this as a bug report, but for anyone viewing the forums:

Basically if you have UE5EA and Preview 1 installed, it will default to opening the project in EA, even if the project was newly created in P1 (so first launch will work, subsequent launches wonā€™t).

So if it happens to you, youā€™ll need to right click>switch version on the project file (unless a select version dialogue comes up automatically for you) then manually browse for the Preview 1 engine install folder (you canā€™t just leave it at 5.0 as thatā€™s 5.0EA not P1) and ā€˜Select Folderā€™ - then it launches the project as expected.

You may have to do this every time you launch your project, or if youā€™re ready to, uninstall EA which presumably will sort it out :slight_smile:

Edit - You can also just rename the EA folder, then it canā€™t be found in itsā€™ expected place.

No problems with custom depth pass for me in Preview 1, thatā€™s in an EA project converted to P1.

Been doing some testing and custom depth pass is broken if you enable MSAA, works fine with other anti-aliasing methods but not with MSAA, iā€™m working on a VR title so MSAA is a must for me.

Yes, iā€™ve submited some of them.
