[URGENT] Compiling C++ breaks blueprints and Unreal requires restart to apply compiled changes !!!

Nah compiling breaks anything currently running using the DLLS you just over-wrote and it will crash. Hot-reload doesn’t seem to work so good either.

Go into prefs and turn on Live Coding. You’ll have to build by hitting Alt-Control F12 if UE is open (if you try using VS building will fail) but that will rebuild your code. It also includes a fast-restart button for if you change anything structural. So if you change class, struct or enum structure in your codebase, you will need to rebuild and do a quick restart.

Thanks for the answer. For now what I found out to work is , just save project , close down unreal, rebuild from vs ( starts automatically unreal if compiling is successful ) and it works like butter. It is just a bit annoying that you have to restart the whole project, but for now it is bearable and you get used to it eventually.
