Unreal Engine 4.15 Preview

[Sitrec]

Great stuff! Epic never fail to deliver fantastic updates.

What does the vehicle code moving into plugin mean for a existing mixed (cpp+blueprints) project centered on vehicles? How much work should I brace myself for when 4.15 gets stable?

[SRombauts]

Will try this asap, very excited as usual

VR Updates:

• (Experimental) Monoscopic Far Field Rendering for mobile VR is available for testing. With content that has many distant objects, this can benefit performance. To enable, select the checkbox under Project Settings -> Rendering -> VR. We don’t currently support both mobile multi-view and monoscopic far field simultaneously and mobile HDR needs to be disabled.

This sounds great, but why limit it to mobile VR? PC VR could benefit from this too.

Haha oh wow, did you make that? Really cool

[Alexander Paschall]

So, no ARM64 for Android ?

That's already in and has been for a while now (I'm not sure what version off the top of my head), but it's in the project settings.

Have you guys yet fixed the issue with UMG buttons, which causes them to not "unhover" after performing a drag & drop operation? Quick example:

Inventory with 2 buttons (A and B) -> drag an item from A to B and drop it there. Button A remains on "hovered" state.

Yeah I made that, thanks! I just thought, why just say what I wanna say (that its awesome) if I could also say it without words, just using that exact feature.

[KRushin]

Woohoo!! New and shiny things to play with and distract from things i need to be doing ^_^

BtC is ready yay

[*]Build Updates:[LIST][*]The codebase has been converted to a "include what you use" model, where every header includes other headers it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h. Existing game code can continue to include those files as before, but we measure the engine compiling 25-50% faster!

Very nice! Always improving. UE4 rocks! =D

About the Build compiling 25-50% faster, I'm no programmer, but recently I've been concerning about the compile times. Does that mean in general the engine is able to compile 25-50% faster, or just in specific situations? Because if it is the engine overall, this is HUUUUGE, isn't it? =D

[BRF]

Again...nice work!

Thanks Epic

It is C++ compilations. It is not a performance increase..

Love the blueprint and compilation changes!
any idea when map & sets will support replication?

[mairsil]

Well, time to try this release to see if the PSVR is fully supported yet...
