Visual Studio 2022 is 64 bit and compiles and runs UE 5.0 EA approximately 20% FASTER

Hi, @Knauric and Everyone reading. This thread. Firstly thank you for using Visual Studio 2022 Preview. On November 8th 2021 will see the release of the production version and no longer in Preview.
VS 2022 Preview 7 Release Candidate 2 builds UE5EA.

I have installed a new version of the Quixel Bridge plugin version 2021.0.4 in my repository. This is the same as the binary version used in the Epic Marketplace Launch app for binary UE5.0 EA2.

I have tested and built this. The problem with Windows Packaging/Cooking is now fixed

Note to Everyone on Unreal Engine builds you must use an NVRAM/SSD to build UE5.
My recent build on a fast IDE hard drives to 26787 seconds 6.45 hours. :nauseated_face::thinking:

The SSD/NVRAM version take 4767 seconds :grin::sunglasses::heavy_check_mark: 78 minutes

Preview RC2 now builds 200 seconds faster!
Total time in Parallel executor: 4353.28 seconds​:grin::heavy_check_mark:

Visual Studio 2022 won’t be allowed installed on an IDE when an SSD exists.
