it’s a plug-in that you need to enable.

it’s a plug-in that you need to enable.

I also did, actually I had it enabled when I built the engine from source, did you download it from the installer?

yes. I did download it via the launcher. Everything is checked including chaos solver and chaos editor

[*]Stereo Panoramic capture Tool Improvements. With the updates to the Stereo Panoramic Capture tool, it’s much easier to capture high-quality stereoscopic stills and videos of the virtual world in industry-standard formats.[/LIST]

Any specific information or commit links available?

that might be the reason why its not working for you, it says it has to be compiled from source, but I dont see the fracture tools when i compile from source

Been using SSGI for a few months from the dev-rendering branch, did that not make it to the official 4.23 version? Or was it just left out of the notes? Thanks for the updates!

Can't wait to try the new physics engine.

I noticed a lot of crashes when using the material editor with ray tracing turned on, is part of the improvements for material editor around this issue?

I have this issue as well... Most of that issue with RTX being on is because the Tessellation could be on in the material. That's one of the issues found on my end at least

yet building from source takes forever, like almost all day (I have it on an external hard drive because of the large file sizes)

It's there for you to enable via console variable (like it before), but it's not a feature we're calling out for 4.23. Right now, it's targeted at 4.24 and is still being worked on for performance and quality. As you've probably noticed, it's still expensive to use.

Is animation streaming related to alembic files? (hopefully)

I just enabled Virtual Texturing on all landscape textures.
Results:
- GPU memory consumption is 300MB less.
- FPS went slightly down. (~0.5ms)
- Shader viewer reports that near landscape is more complex. It went from red to purple in the surrounding areas.



Edit:
It is intended that 4.23 creates a folder named "DerivedDataCache" inside the project folder? Think that should go into the AppData folder.

Has anyone successfully gotten the Chaos Destruction plugin to work? If so did you have to build from source?

[*]Chaos - Destruction (Early Access). With Chaos, users can achieve cinematic-quality visuals in real-time in scenes with massive-scale levels of destruction, with unprecedented artist control over content creation. [/LIST]

Will Epic implement a new vehicle physics system with the full release of Chaos? Because, probably old physx vehicles will probably not work as it seems its a brand new physics solver.
