When are the UDK forums going to be back online?

I know about the ´´incident´´ but isnt it taking a litle too long?(unless it was something realy bad).In the work in progress there are still 6-7 games being updated(one mine).

I hope you get them running again soon.

missing them as well ._.

me too

after a year wasted on ue4/unity, getting back into udk i sometimes forget something and search for the answer (more often than not from myself) on the udk forum.
even the archive has gone.

is all that knowledge lost for ever?

Atleast, there are 3rd party archives for websites

With all the answered questions and tutorials the UDK forums had, it was a real gold mine ! I hope epic games won’t give up the UDK forums because of the hack by letting it “on maintenance” for ever.

I wonder if I should try to save and host the most valuable users’ post and content on my website since I have a lot of free spaces right now…

It should be about a week or so guys, so sorry for the inconvenience!

Go here: Wayback Machine select date of backup, for example June 27, wait for redirection. I hope it will work for you too But probably you can open only old posts but there is another solution. You can google required topic and then click on small green arrow near link and open page from google’s memory.

Hi Flak,
Thanks for the update. Glad to see that Epic is restoring the old forum.

Coldscooter · July 22, 2015, 5:28pm

I really hope the forum will be back as soon as possible. I didn’t realize how reliant I was on it until it was down. Thanks for working to fix it epic. Any updates on progress and when we can expect it back up?

Thanks in advance.

All my support here. When U4 was released for free, I was in the middle of my game development with UDK. I won’t migrate to U4 until I finish it and UDK forum is one of the most important tools I had to help with the development. All my questions were answered there, or at least, in a quicker way. I missed it so much…

Coldscooter · July 27, 2015, 5:07pm

@Flak, is there any update on the status of the UDK forums? Myself (and I’m sure many more) are in urgent need of the information contained in the forums.

Flak · July 27, 2015, 5:43pm

Sorry, It’s taking longer than expected. We hope to have them online sometime this week. I wish I had better news!

Coldscooter · July 27, 2015, 6:02pm

anonymous_user_cae7faa3 · July 29, 2015, 5:02pm

Coldscooter · July 29, 2015, 6:58pm

@anonymous_user_3aed06e4, the only way i’m able to access content in the forums is just google cached pages:

Not all pages are cached though

Lets hope they get the forums back up asap.

I forgot that changing passwords can be hassle if you use a fingerprint scanner:p

still its nice to see the old forum again:)

anonymous_user_b666e59e · July 31, 2015, 1:42pm

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that the UDK forums are back up again. We apparently updated one of the threads on this topic, but not this one. Sorry about that.
