Before starting this article, Sorry for that my poor English.
I tested UE5 in PC Notebook(i7 CPU, RTX 2060, 32GB Ram) and m1 MacBook Air…
and found UE5 for m1 Mac is stable than 4.26 ver. and faster than previous version.
when testing PC Notebook and m1 MacBook Air with the same UE project compiling shaders, I checked m1 Mac book air little faster than PC Notebook(about 15%?).
I think it is because of even UE5 for Mac version is for Intel version, m1 Mac CPU is faster than my PC Notebook
There is one bug that I found on UE5 for Mac is after light building textures turn red or other color… The reason of this bug is skylight. you should skylight to movable or Static, instead of Stationary… then bug is gone…
I hope UE5 support Arm Mac native…
then the performance and stability shall be better I think…
and Last tip for m1 Macbook air user, when you use UE4, UE5, then m1 MacBook Air goes into throttling, but if you use notebook cradle with cooling fan, then you can use UE5, UE4 in m1 MacBook Air without throttling. The CPU temperature will not over 95 degree(celsius) and don’t enter into throttling when using cradle with cooling fan…
Olá, gostaria de saber se teve algum avanço no uso de M1 para unreal? estou tento usar e aprender mais voltado para archiviz, mas tem muitas limitações em relação a luz e sombra e principlamente nos reflexos e vegetações que deixam a desejar, pelo não suporte de Raytracing e também não seu trbalahar com com CPU lightmass, e acho que também não é possível usar GPULightmass visto que se usa com base em CUDA, mas se quiser e souber como ajudar gostaria muito de dividir e trocar conhecimentos da UE5.1 em MacOS

Hello, I would like to know if there was any progress in the use of M1 for unreal? I’m trying to use and learn more for Archiviz, but it has many limitations in relation to light and shadow and especially in the reflections and vegetation that leave something to be desired, due to the lack of support for Raytracing and also the fact that it doesn’t work with the Lightmass CPU, and I think that too it is not possible to use GPULightmass as it is based on CUDA, but if you want and know how to help I would love to share and exchange UE5.1 knowledge on MacOS
Opa! Botaveia, sou novo aqui e nunca usei unreal, sou arquiteto e tenho um MacBook Air M1. Como foi (ou está) sendo a tua experiencia usando o U5 com o MBA? É tranquilo? Eu não queria ter que comprar um desktop para renderizar 3D. Tu acha que ele esquentar demais a ponto de danificar o MBA?
