Question: "Volumetric lightmap Does not currently support level streaming" - does it mean no level streaming at all or no streaming of level pieces in the current level ?

Currently it doesn't support any streaming at all, which doesn't scale up to huge levels. You can either raise the Detail Cell Size or switch back to the old method for huge levels.

I don't see the update yet on 24 October, should I restart my PC or something else? I have already quick and restart Epic Launcher but did not help.

You will need to click the "+ Add Versions" option to create a new engine slot, and choose 4.18.0 for the release version.

Try deleting your Binaries, DerivedDataCache, Intermediate and Saved folders and try again.

Try deleting your Binaries, DerivedDataCache, Intermediate and Saved folders and try again.

Tried all of it, but no luck Moved my project to the root to shorten the path length. Packed it into zip and unpacked as a duplicate. Reset the DerivedDataCache. It wont generate the visual studio files...

Holy smokes! What a fantastic update. Thank you so much for all the improvements!

Quick Question. Why does VS:Code need .NetCore and the C# extension for a C++ project?

because the projects also use c#, I guess as helpers in the build chain. look for the cs files in a new c++ project.
