i⌠think it is here
at least that is what launcher suggesting for me 
Did they just rename the preview without updating anything?
Itâs gone now. Does this mean stable version going to be released soon? No preview is available on the launcher and I really donât want to recompile it from git. I wanted to do some performance testing.

I have 5.2.0 (non preview listed)âŚ
I hit launch and the label changed to run the pre-reqâs
Confirmed:
RVTs still donât seem to be working with the heightmesh. Iâll muck around but I canât see this part of the tech as usuable; itâs actually gone backwards (for me) from 4.26 where it least RAN stable.

Strange issue with PCG when a very large area is set (Scale= 2000,2000,10).
Thank you so much for providing precompiled binaries for Linux so quickly

I still have this problem. Does anyone have a similar problem?
Unfortunately itâs a bug. Letâs wait and see if it will be fixed.
I found that the problem is not only with the shadows, but also with the reflections, as you can see in the video below. Yeah, the reflection disappears too.
In the video below I put a lampshade with two meshes (lampshade body and a globe mesh with emissive material) and inside the globe
I put a âpoint lightâ, all this in front of a mirror. You can see that when I move away from the lamp, both the shadow and the reflections (from the light from the emissive material and from the meshes) disappear. Note that when doing this experiment with daylight on, we see the reflections of the meshes disappear, leaving only the reflection of the âpoint lightâ.
Note: this is a problem with the new version 5.2, because in previous versions, with default settings, this problem does not happen.
Can anyone report this issue to Epic Game? The page with instructions for reporting a bug is this: Reportar um Bug - Unreal Engine.
