Hardware ray tracing is being dropped, so I wouldn’t hold your breath

I know, I didn’t mean as a standalone method for GI or reflections, but HWRT lumen and Pathtracer also needs HWRT to work. But neither work on apple silicon although I saw some work being done towards supporting it on github.

I have a bug to report: Waiting for skinned asset to be ready in Groom binding never ends - Development / Asset Creation - Epic Developer Community Forums (unrealengine.com)
Some simple mesh collisions are sort of flawed, they do not result in a NavMesh volume creating the walkable space. Fix: Remove the simple collision from such mesh and re-create a simple collision.

hi,
Perhaps you mean that HW Raytace Emulation has been dropped for Nvidia GTX 10xx cards officially
Ndisplay code has now taken over much of HW Raytracing and does not use Nvidia SLI anymore
Epic GPULightmass for RTX still uses HW Ray Tracing now in shaders in 5.4 and 5.5

I meant this
Although it’s a bit unclear.
If someone could finally export the mesh to fbx after years, that would be great. Exports the fallback mesh with Nanite enabled. If it exports the source mesh, the uv mapping cells are just seams… Exporting multiple meshes that I need to edit (from the store, or if I don’t have the source) is problematic. especially with high poly. I suppose Nanite won’t be happy when all uv triangles are separate. For example, export the mesh, make some adjustments and import it into the engine. A person can easily miss it and find out that he needs to edit the uv. But welding uv with a million polygons is already a problem. Eg (green are seams):
Another of the many bugs of the tool that can generate errors in the game. Increasing the mesh in its settings does not increase the bounds. It works at first, but after a few tweaks it stops. The mesh must be set to the original scale, the editor must be restarted and done again. So if you have an asset and no source and you only want to make minor adjustments, it generates additional time.
This is quite not only frustrating, but it takes a lot of time to check where what happened. And a lot of people, for example graphic or designers, don’t have time to deal with it every time they edit something edit, most of them don’t even know it. Repro is simple (screen is from 5.3.2):
- Change scale mesh in Lod0 settings
- change material on mesh
- Look at render bounds.

Upgraded my game from 5.3.2 to 5.4.3 and the packaged game couldn’t start
The PIE in 5.4.3 runs without problem,
The packaged game in 5.3.2 was tested to be fine other than when exiting the game it halts the Windows system for a few seconds.
Going to fall back to UE5.3 again, UE5.4 is too unstable and can’t believe it’s said to be battle tested.
UPDATE!
The 5.4.4 has just landed with some key updates - there’s also a change that has affected Android compatibility. See below:
To publish new apps or updates to the Google Play Store after August 31, 2024, you must update to 5.4.4 which includes updates for Android 14 compatibility with TargetSDK 34. Alternatively, you can pull the necessary updates from GitHub.
Apps built with previous versions of Unreal Engine will no longer submit successfully.

When is this to be released? I need it now ffs lol
hi Released four days ago in the Epic Game Launcher and if you keep your Epic Games Launcher up to date you will see it 
So just for those who forgot
-
Open the Epic Games launcher
-
Go to the maximum display 1920x780 in Windows settings, maximize Launcher
-
Click Unreal Engine
-
Click Library
-
Click the red ! and 5.4.4 shows up
-
Click the updates button and wait

'Wish you had Made space for the 8.8 GB update

What a nightmare. updated my project to 5.4.4 that I’ve been working on for YEARS and everything is broken. I apparently have to do this because Play Console won’t even accept my .aab anymore. Why is everything related to mobile so incredibly difficult with UE? Every single one of my assets are broken, references are all messed up, I can’t validate anything, I’ve lost compatibility for OpenGL and can only rely on Vulkan, and the list of other insane problems is IMMENSE. How can i keep my current engine version that is stable and working and still use the latest APIs etc?

- “Start an in-app purchase” node is still not working
- The GooglePad file is still broken and needs to be replaced by this one: GooglePAD_APL.xml
- The billing library update is still not compatible with Google requirements, the use of a plugin like TDS is mandatory
Please, hear us, we are waiting for these fixes for a year now :>

UE5.4 is breaking animations on import, and although I wasn’t aware of it at the time I made this post:
This problem has actually been happening since 5.3. The 5.4.4 hotfix did not correct this issue at all. When you import a skeletal mesh animation in either 5.3 or 5.4 it breaks your key frames resulting in jitters and huge frame jumps. In 5.4 it’s even worse because the frame interpolation literally doesn’t do anything at all anymore. This is a very serious problem for individuals who are still using external applications to do all of their animation.
The only work around right now is to install 5.2 and import all animations there first, and then migrate those animations to 5.3 or 5.4. This is incredibly inconvenient.
Also, the fact that these animations play back correctly after being migrated over to 5.3 or 5.4 means that there may also be a problem in how the Uasset is being created in 5.3 or 5.4. Maybe there is something during that process that is corrupting the .fbx file as it’s brought into UE. I don’t know, I’m not a tech expert, but this really needs to be fixed.

I would just like to state that the Texture blurring problem is still happening. Please un-screw this piece of the engine. This is a major and basic thing that should be top priority.

Not since 5.4.3, maybe you should un-screw your project?
Or at least be a bit more precise in your problem description?
Animation and interpolation which is still very much broken in 5.3 and 5.4 is also a major aspect, probably the most essential thing of the Game Engine. Without that functioning properly, everything obviously just falls apart. It’s too big of a problem to go forward with new versions, and I can’t believe that something as serious as this hasn’t been resolved yet.
So yeah, the frustration is pretty heavy at this point. Meanwhile, we got Unity over there dropping info on a new LTS model…
Jeez
I guess all we can do is just keep our fingers crossed and hope that this all gets resolved by UE5.5. That may just be wishful thinking, though.

I mean the list could go on and on and on. I mean textures are also being obliterated, ray tracing is gone. It’s a joke, it’s constant steps forward(I hope) and constant step backwards(Like optimizations canceling each other out etc ).
un-screw your project?
I loaded Epic template examples, it’s still happening so…
Go talk to Epic I guess.
