Can we expect the DQS shading model to be included in the official 5.4 or 5.5?
The design of the over complicated UE5 manny is to mitigate the engine limitation that it can’t support DQS, with the twist bones and extra bones and mesh curves that require teams to work on, when the better solution is to add DQS support and simplify the content pipelines
It’s frustrating to watch the distorted areas when the characters perform some actions e.g the pelvic area distorted when crouching
I need AI tools that help find me find bugs in blueprint faster. “Unreal GPT, My character is falling through the floor, scan my code and settings, then give me a list of possibilities as to why this is happening”. <-----A capability like this is more important than EVERYTHING. In my humble opinion of course.

Bug reported Case # 11696936 with Electra Player when playing some MP4 files - at least through *.MDN files.
Without being into the Engine code, you usually get more problems with increased complexity. And for a human complexity can start just by introducing something new. One approach to counter this would be to make Unreal Engine more modular.

Wasn’t this always the case? I thought media textures always needed to be set to external.
Hi
The latest patch has introduced an issue for me.
I am loading a custom sound wav from http. It was working perfectly. Now it starts and stops instantly. I assume because of the change in AudioMixerSourceBuffer.cpp
I just have no idea how to change my code now to make this work.
I’d really appreciate some help as I’m on a deadline and this has really thrown a spanner.
Thank you
void UMySoundWave::LoadWavData(TArray FileBytes)
{
FWaveModInfo WaveInfo;
WaveInfo.ReadWaveInfo(FileBytes.GetData(), FileBytes.Num());
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Audio length: %d"),FileBytes.Num() );
if (!WaveInfo.pSamplesPerSec) return;
SetSampleRate(*WaveInfo.pSamplesPerSec);
const int32 BytesDataPerSecond = *WaveInfo.pChannels * (*WaveInfo.pBitsPerSample / 8.f) * *WaveInfo.pSamplesPerSec;
Duration = WaveInfo.SampleDataSize / BytesDataPerSecond;
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Duration: %f"), Duration);
RawPCMData = static_cast<uint8*>(FMemory::Malloc(WaveInfo.SampleDataSize));
FMemory::Memcpy(RawPCMData, WaveInfo.SampleDataStart, WaveInfo.SampleDataSize);
NumChannels = 1;
RawPCMDataSize = WaveInfo.SampleDataSize;
SoundGroup = SOUNDGROUP_Default;
bLooping = false;
bProcedural = false;
bDynamicResource = false;
}
Interesting idea, after getting used to using AI in other fields I work in, game development feels soooo ■■■■■■■ primitively slow and fragile. All of the fancy rendering tools don’t matter when half your time is spent stuck in a thicket of snags you don’t want to have to think about. I’d like to see work-flow efficiency as a larger focus. For example:
Blueprint Find tool could be paired with AI that suggested auto-fixes and possible locations that could be causing unintended behavior. Super valuable.
Most Packaging should just WORK. Force the f-ing thing through. AI clean up/check up during or pre-package. Super valuable.
AI generated Auto Settings. Imagine typing in “Unreal GPT, x projectile class isn’t interacting with the character anymore for some reason. Please scan.”. -A list of possible solutions pops up with one button press collision setting update.
It’s not clear Unreal is going to be widely used for linear media when it competes with AI tools like Runway that produce quality content hundreds of times faster than any Unreal/Maya Pipeline can. I know writing the Christmas list is a lot easier than satisfying the Christmas list but it’s imo clearly what this engine needs right now. We are entering the era of rapid updates and volume, while Unreal is built more for tinkering and awe.

There was an error that was never resolved. As soon as hardware ray tracing was turned on, the project would not open.
You could find which material it is in the log. But there is no doubt that it should not crash (max not work)
I have a similar problem. Importing audio from a file at runtime results in the sound stuttering heavily. Was working fine in 5.3.
Yes, they changed something with the audio playback in 5.4. Now it has become a little more difficult, especially if you change track playback positions.
I updated to 5.4.3. Is this issue still on?
Compiling Microsoft platforms with the Visual Studio 2022 “MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.39-17.9)” toolchain with /arch:AVX architectures generates incorrect bytecode and will cause unexpected runtime crashes
In the Visual Studio 2022 installer, install the “MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.38-17.8)” individual component before compiling.
I will put this in here, maybe someone can try to replicate?
Can anyone who’s using r.Velocity.EnableVertexDeformation=1 and 5.4 do me a favor and check if it gets automatically set back to r.Velocity.EnableVertexDeformation=0 on editor window focus loss?
Project setting, DefaultEngine.ini doesn’t matter in my case, it always falls back to disabled when tabbing in/out.
Works fine on 5.3.
/e, fixed:
The problem was a weird workaround the author of UDS did for 5.4, where he disabled it via cvar/BP.
Found the culprit at least.
Targeting Android 14 (SDK 34) causes guaranteed crashes on android devices running Android 14. Android 15 seems to work fine. The issues seems to be from using .aab files which are required if the game’s APK is larger than 200Mbs. Google requires a target of 34+ (Android 14) in the next month or they will not allow release updates / new games to be submitted. .
It’s hilarious how they keep talking about performance improvements on every patch.
They must think you guys are idiots.
