Unreal Engine 4.19 Preview

[Truelight]

i think those files are from Maya Developer Kit. You have to download it yourself

Oh I build it, there is a new question that how can I use the plugin? I couldn't find the plugin UI in maya.

[Sojimne]

Will 4.19 support AppleARkit1.5 functionality available through the iOS 11.3 beta? Such as vertical plane detection, circular surface detection, image tracking, and so forth?

[Peet3D]

Hi there!

My question is that would 4.19 support clion integration for windows? Because previous versions has errors with creating the cmakelist file.
Thanks in advance!

Well, if you happen to grow in a country that uses points to separate big values and commas for decimals (for example, Spain) you get an instant headache as you try to get your head aroud the idea of using point instead of comma. (Really, it happened to me XD)
Point is used (usually) in English speaking countries. Both comma and point are correct.

But at work (and me at home), we use the Development tools in english. But maybe because i am a developer, i am used to write dots as seperator when it's all about developing. Comma suddenly becomes odd here :/

It's based off your locale, which typically corresponds to your input method.

This was a long requested feature as people kept complaining that the numeric input on their keyboards used a comma rather than a dot as a decimal separator (because it's what their language used) and so they couldn't input numbers easily with it. Now they can, and it also does its best to accept "agnostic" numbers too (to aid copy/pasting from the internet), although sometimes it's ambiguous - let me know if you find a number that doesn't work for your particular locale.

Jamie Dale Ok, i'll try it out

Yes, it's no issue if you're using dot/comma from... "non-numeric" part of keyboard.
But it's lot faster to type from numeric keyboard and then you get "wrong" sing while hitting Dot/Del key in many locales. I used to apply customized Polish keyboard layout just to fix this

UPDATE!

We have just released Preview 2 for 4.19! Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.19 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.

For a list of known issues affecting this latest preview, please follow the links provided on the first post in this thread.

Special Note
For users that utilize XGE for assisting in compiling, the current known issue Blocks shaders from compiling as ShaderCompileWorker is attempting to use XGE.
UE-54283 //UE4/Release-4.19 Binary stalls opening Project Browser at 45% - XGEControlWorker.exe is not recognized

The workaround for this issue is as follows:

1. Close your 4.19 Editor
2. Open Engine/Config/ConsoleVariables.ini
3. Comment out r.XGEShaderCompile = 1
4. Save the file
5. Launch your 4.19 Editor

[danielmn81]

has any work been given to fix the view problems of the windows HMD displays. We have the Samsung odyssey and was working fine on 4.17 but on 4.18 somehting in the root cod change view the viewing of the 2 eye cameras change and so far we have not been able to fix this. We were hoping to see a fix in 4.19 but I have seen anything in the notes to show a fix has been implemented thanks. I have mentioned it in the forums a few times but have not seen any responses.

[datee]

Is the features for 4.19 set now? Its a nice update but was hoping for some bigger features...

[miike on 300 fps]

Just posting small issues here when going over materials/cascade quickly.

1. Cant hide/unhide background in material editor.

2. Instruction count in material editor in 4.19 is way higher than previous versions. (fluctuates heavily between shader types)
Material 1
- 4.19: https://i.gyazo.com/6095d0c5fe75f1b8...3dca24d68f.png
- 4.16: https://i.gyazo.com/af9337600b99d206...fdfab1af91.png
Material 2
- 4.19: https://i.gyazo.com/b249b0c6fda22673...f79e7015cd.png
- 4.17: https://i.gyazo.com/725ba114440ffc7a...ea03817122.png

3. Material editor > stats button says stats is active, but its not unless I turn it on and off again.

4. Cascade > no previews on modules

while in previous versions:


thats it as far as I can tell when going trough 40 materials and 30 different emitters.

some amazing things:
4.19 UI is soooo much more crisp on 4k monitors, in fact, everything does, even particles. can someone confirm? (though, barely touched 4.18)
4.16

4.19

The U/I is noticeably more crisp on my 4K monitors since the 4.18 release. I also am very pleased with that

[erebel55]

Why was a static GetEnumValueFromString added to VoiceConfig.h? This seems like a really specific file to have such a generic function and is going to cause a lot of conflicts with other peoples custom "GetEnumValueFromString" functions that they have most likely already defined in their own projects.

https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealE...ceConfig.h#L49

At the very least it's a strange place to define this static function.

If not publically exposed then if anything that should be moved to the .cpp

Thanks. German was causing confusion in the agnostic parsing case since it uses dot as a group separator. I've fixed this for preview 2 and we no longer consider group separators for numeric inputs, which allows both "123,5" and "123.5" to parse as "123.5" when using a German locale.

[Kashaar]

Are there any plans to expand the experimental ProxyLOD plugin to replace the need for a Simplygon license entirely? I would love to have a built-in solution for e.g. skeletal mesh LODs.

[Reinan]

Instanced Static Meshes using PerInstanceRandom in a material get garbage values in editor. Very noticeable when plugging PerInstanceRandom into world position offset. Newly created instances look fine until the editor is restarted. Always looks fine in PIE though.
