Hi when ever I hover over the links in Animation Blueprints, the pop up is being spammed. Everything else seems to work fine for the most part. I am using Linux mint 22.1, Cinnamon 6.4.8, x11, RTX 3070 575.64.03. I am using the first person template. This is also happening on my laptop.
I can’t seem to attach a video. Essentially, the “Call Func: Try Get Pawn Order” keeps popping up indefinitely when I hover over the connection.
Any help would be greatly appropriated. Thank you.
hello, welcome to the forum.
are you using wayland?
no, I am using x11
good, wayland is not properly supported yet. though 5.6 has some work towards (not finished) sdl3 which will improve (but not fix) wayland.
do you have any sort of focus stealing prevention?
or windows automatic positioning?
no, just basic linux mint
hmm i don’t use mint. so i don’t know. but maybe mint has some focus steal prevention.
(dejavu) but i think i’ve answered a similar question a couple of times ago.
i can’t really recall the name though.
you might get better luck searching the forums or asking in Linux on the unreal discord.
I can try that. I’m not sure what focus steal prevention is. Do you think its the Desktop environment?
Here is a link to a video of the problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2Dg8sz9kxc. If that makes it easier for you to remember.
thank you for your help.
it’s a preference on the environment.
the video does help.
oh wait, that’s actually different. i thought it will spam while you hover normally, but that is during play.
i can’t recall precisely but i think that’s how it works at the moment. it would be nice if it’s fixed but that’s the normal behavior.
ill give it a test with my game.
I clicked the pause button on the bottom right of the preview window, still same problem.
hmm i was going to suggest pausing.
i don’t have any animation bps.
can you try setting a breakpoint (with F9) on the white node (is valid node)?
and see if then it stops spamming.
do you see that spamming on other places?
That doesn’t seem to fix it. It happens with every return value in the animation graph, no other place than that as of yet. Is it possible for you to open the starter first person project and see if it happens on your end if you are running linux too?
i can try…
i just tried and it works well. no spamming.
i’m using ue 5.6.1 from github, on kde ubuntu 24 lts, with nvidia 575.64, on an rtx 3060ti.
i think it’s likely either the version of ue, or the desktop environment you use.
i wonder if you could try kde though it might be on the chunky size, and i’m unsure how easy it is to install on mint, or how stable it is. mint has some differences over ubuntu afaik.
it might be easier to try ue 5.6 and see if that makes any difference. you can get the binary version directly form epic’s site.
I will give it a try! For now I just disabled “Enable Pin Value Inspection Toolings.” Not an ideal solution, as it just hides it, but will do for now. I have tried 5.6.1, no difference. I think its probably the DE. Thank you for all you help!
Just for a quick question is their a recommended DE for UE?
if you tried 5.6 and it still happens, then the chance is that it’s your DE.
they don’t actively “recommend” an environment. but iirc they target ubuntu lts. so gnome is probably the safest. it pains me to say so since i love kde and it works really well. kde works well too (it’s the one i use).
I switched to kde-plasma-desktop and it still happened… odd. So its something else I guess. Did you compile the editor or pre-complied? It could be that.
hmmm that’s very unfortunate and weird.
i wouldn’t think there’s a ton of difference between those versions.
i’ve compiled the engine myself.
on discord i’ve heard mint mentioned but not that issue. i wonder if it’s a nvidia driver issue (don’t think so), or a mint thing. which is odd since kde would be different enough.
It is strange to see to two “Unkown” variables in these popups, but they surely pop up often during your workflow in animation blueprints.
