[Stephen Ellis]

Hello Stephen!

Please, check post I linked. It's not about Tonemapper film, it's about other ones

Our support team will look into it and follow-up on the Answerhub. Thanks

Thanks! Interesting read

No luck getting the RawInput plugin working. Details in https://forums.unrealengine.com/show...t-Plugin-error

I tested and it seems Light Functions are now working with the Forward Renderer? Can someone from Epic confirm this? If so, why is it not in the fixes list? Thanks!

Issues That Affect Me

FIXED in 4.15preview3 (Yay! Progress!)

unassigned - Crash - 4.15.0preview1 during "Open a copy" of a project on Mac
UE-39501 - tvOS package for distribution fails to find valid certificate and valid provision
unassigned - Valid Development Provision and Certificate ignored for tvOS

STILL BROKEN for 4.15preview3

UE-37428 - Certain BP class properties keep losing value (target 4.16)
UE-39294 - Menus don't update on Mac (backlogged)
UE-39464 - GetPlatform node returns "IOS" on tvOS (target 4.16)
UE-40545 - Uploading tvOS project: ERROR ITMS-90513 & ITMS-90471 aka tvOS "Missing Image Asset" (target 4.16, because tvOS still isn't supported yet )
UEDOC-4307 - Android Quickstart - Incorrect about Java Versions
unassigned - What is waking up my physics?

Can't join LAN Session in 4.15. Session is being created, but clients can't join it. Launching 2 PIE clients works (of course, because they are starting already connected to each other).
Might be my own mistake, I'll mess with it more tomorrow.

LOL that was not a bug but rather a fix . Now 4.15 takes into account 'Public Connections' value for LAN sessions. I used to keep its value as '0' in 4.14.

I tried vehicle plugin it looks like roll back to wrong CenterOfMass setup before 4.14, which means car moving like solid box once again. I mean in 4.14 you got :
"We’ve changed where tire forces are applied. Previously, tire forces were applied at the vehicle’s center of mass. We now apply force at the tire’s center of mass which makes it easier to achieve load sway in cars."
Now it looks like 4.13 again, maybe i'm wrong I'll do more tests. Cheers

------------------

OK I figured out somehow that I must derived a BP car from cpp class, explicitly toggle the "deprecated spring offset mode" twice(check, uncheck), then it all works. If i use cpp vehicleAdv template directly in game, the car just stick with deprecated mode, and no way to change unless I hack engine/plugin, no ideal why. Maybe ue4 serialize function think the car is current version only after I do these? Anyway it won't stop me enjoy 4.15~~

How does the Blend Space editor work now? I have a Blend Space in there but I can't move my mouse around the grid to see the results?

EDIT: I figured it out! You hold Shift while hovering over the blend space. Maybe make this more visible in the future please? Thanks Epic, keep up the good work!

Hello Stephen,

Anything being done on https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-36879 VOIP has been an issue for a few engine releases now it seems. I noticed Conan is having VOIP issues too!

UPDATE!

We have just released Preview 4 for 4.15! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.15 build before its official release. As a reminder, the Preview builds are for testing only, and should not be used for the active development of your project.

Fixed! UE-41450 PhysicsBall BP not updating location with Collision volumes

Well at this point this is why there are more problems than expected ones. You guys say this is fixed https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-41450 "Fixed! UE-41450 PhysicsBall BP not updating location with Collision volumes"
Anyone can check you changed in the repo first comment all and wrong https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealE...f5e41b638d59fe
and later you guys come back and remove the comment https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealE...459e8c80b8834c
at the end you have the same code of the start and you guys just commented the LOG Warning, mmm sorry ?

So the log says anymore there is not problem, marked as fixed ?
And is not the first time I see this, at this point idk if is a communication problem or is other kind of problem...

Correct me if I'm wrong but is all the changes I see, a commented LOG warning and marked as fixed in public.

You are correct that on further review this one is not fully "fixed", and there may be others in the same situation. Sometimes solutions to bugs are incremental, and may begin with changes to logging before future fixes occur.

The failure in having it listed as "Fixed" is, as you say, a communication one. The above list comes from a data export of updated tickets from JIRA. Unfortunately JIRA doesn't have a concept of "partial fixes", so these get included. Ideally it would be nice to review each code change to verify that an actual fix was made before being added to the list, unfortunately that is not feasible for us when we have some updates as large as this one.

We provide as much information around updates as we can, but that can lead to cases like this. However with the combination of our public JIRA site and access to Github, we have tried to empower our users to access the information that is important to them.

Cheers

Physics problems added in the 4.14 keep there just awesome

https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...es-broken.html

Now are even worst and this is not even the vehicles code... the only physics part here is the chasis is really sad UE4 can't handle 2 cubes colliding...

Hm. This was 4.13

Similar glitch.

Regarding issue UE-41065

Yeah, that can't just be "by design" since it breaks all current content. If it is by design, then at least every material needs a checkbox where you can check if you want this new behavior where an emissive blue is getting purple and later white, but that checkbox should be disabled by default for every material that was created before 4.15.



But it is an issue because of how it works, you can no longer get the look you had before. It is impossible now to get any saturated color that's causing a lot of bloom. For that it has to be multiplied by ~20, but once you do that with any color its just something like white. So you can't have a strong glowing blue or red material now, they will no longer be blue or red.

So the issue is not only that you would have to redo all your materials, but also that its impossible to get the look you got before.

So has anybody managed to get the old look (a nice saturated color glow with bloom) back? The recommended r.TonemapperFilm 0 is not doing it for me - any other values I have to tweak? I can't imagine that it is an intended change to make nice glowing materials impossible...
