Unreal Engine 4.25 Preview

[Anton.Palmqvist]

Noticed that when using UE4 with Remote Desktop, it disables the Realtime viewport automatically, without telling the user anything about it.

There's however a nice notification when disabling it manually though. I just wish that same notification could show up when it's disabled by Remote Desktop too!

4.24


4.25 Preview 5

[KimLaughton]

I'm having a strange issue. I'm running a project that worked fine in 4.24, but when I open it in 4.25 the texture in the emissive slot on a material reverts to the default texture on each material instance when playing a packaged or standalone game. It's fine in editor and PIE. Has anyone come across anything similar?

Please add option to offset the AI "SetFocus" node target. It currently focuses at the actor pivot point, which is not ideal if you want NPCs to look you in the face.

4.25 preview 5 Breaks the oculus touch left menu button. it no longer fires. it worked in preview 4. I don't know why someone is even messing with working input mappings but they need to STOP messing them up FFS....

i think this is one of the biggest issues with unreal developers. they edit things that already work and break them.........then take weeks to fix them.

WHY NOT STOP EDITING THINGS THAT WORK ALREADY? oooof.

Wow this is huge:

Fixed! UE-86191 "Scene Capture Component 2D" Causes Big Performance Dip In VR

Portals and stuff in VR may become much more viable. Is it known exactly how much the performance decreased? I remember, it dropped about 20 FPS for me from 4.16 - 4.21.

Will there be anything with regards to mouse cursor not leaving the screen in a VR environment ?

[peteross]

Does anyone know if the Oculus Go input is resloved? In 4.24.3 they still seem to be broken. They worked fine in 4.23.1. I notice the current update seems to only list the Oculus Touch input as being fixed. Any news on this?

[AE_3DFX]

SunSky still has directional light default brightness problem and it uses value 75000.0 lux, not a big issue but default should be 5 or something not to shock new users.

This is NOT fixed yet. however I been working with Steve to get it fixed asap.

4.25 preview5 has completely broken virtual texture lightmaps
Same project for both engines

Make a bug report about this. they need to know about it and sadly they rarely check forums.

[Farshid]

thank you epic games
Problem solved by reporting bug

[The_Distiller]

Sadly the hair strand dof artifacts still exist in 4.25.

I actually think i have this issue of 4.24 in some way, when i bring in forestpack objects into unreal they all look pale and odd as instanced meshes but if i bring the object in and place it next to it, it looks correct.

i thought i was doing something wrong.

I haven't tested in a build but i see it in the editor
