Unreal Engine 5.1 Preview

Did you try “Window > Load Layout > Default Editor Layout”?

5.1 Preview 2 is out on the launcher :slight_smile:

5.1.0 preview 1 worked
but
5.1.0 preview 2 doesn’t

I ran 5.1.0 preview 2 and it goes from 0% to 75% and closes without errors and re-opens up Epic launcher instead. It doesn’t even reach to where I can select projects.

What I’ve done so far,
I deleted and re-installed UE5.1 preview2 but it still closes itself without any error.

I am using windows 11(all updates done) + rtx3070(latest Nvidia updates)

I have the same problem

update the quixel bridge plugin. i read somewhere

Works for me …

Preview 2 for 5.1 is now live! Thanks for helping us improve the 5.1 build before its official release. As a reminder, the Preview builds are for testing only, and should not be used for the active development of your project.

Thanks everyone!

Fixed in Preview 2

I had the same problem. Did you solve it?

I’m seeing way way more ghosting on small moving particles with TSR in 5.1 compared to 5.0. Things like rain and snow are kind of extremely ghosty in 5.1 at the moment (testing with the Preview 2 release that just went up).

Here’s some slow falling snow in front of a dark wall in 5.0, with TSR:
image

And here’s the same setup in 5.1 Preview 2. Note the obvious trail artifacts that weren’t present before:
image

As I understand it, the material option “Responsive AA” is supposed to correct for this kind of thing. (The material in the above shots has Responsive AA enabled) But it seems to have no effect at all in 5.1.

Crashes here :confused:

Update : it works if you delete UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins\Bridge

Yup TSR looks really weird with translucent (water included) materials in Preview 2, the issue didn’t happen in Preview 1. It seems to add some sort of a motion blur/trail

I was unable to create a package with preview 1 so far, with preview 2 I succeeded. Unfortunately, I face the same issue. Pathtracing works in development build, but does not work in a shipping build. It would be crucial for our application to be able to use it in shipping build too. Could you guys fix it for 5.1 release?

Thanks for the tip

Actully. Yes…?

When I upgrade from Preview1 → Preview2, it didn’t work.

Delete previously installed Preview1 And re-install Preview2 directly worked for me

preview 2 crashes when I try to open Ocean Gerstner wave editor.

Also, the clouds and ocean gerstner and meterial attributes reset to default everytime you open a project from a previous version of Unreal. So, opening 4.27 in 5.0, opening 5.0 to 5.03, and opening 5.03 to 5.1, and now between preview 1 and 2. Every single update causes projects to reset ocean and clouds.

@VictorLerp Updated to 5.1.0P2. Brand new VRtemplate map fails to build for Quest. Error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __aarch64_swp8_acq_rel
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): >>> referenced by Module.Launch.cpp

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): >>> referenced 775 more times
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __aarch64_ldadd4_acq_rel

Same happens to converted 5.0 project
Any suggestions how to work around this and build for Quest?

when migrating project from 5.0 to 5.1 the instancedfoliage gets reset fully. It is in the outliner but there’s nothing in the scene.
