While UE4 engineers are waiting for bug fixes, I wish someone would step in and fix this 3D Text bug that was supposed to be fixed in 4.25:

This is what you should be worried about. https://imgsli.com/MTQ5NTc

Be scared, there's no ticket for this on the issue tracker.

The "upgrade roulette" is the hardest part to deal with though. Each new version might fix something important that's been broken for awhile, but then it winds up breaking something else, or several things, that are essential. Sometimes these bugs can be worked around with some hacky changes to the engine but most of the time they can't. Back in the 4.12 to 4.21 days these newly broken things would be quickly addressed in hotfixes, which was very reassuring, but now they often sit there for multiple full releases, or never get fixed at all. I do pay very close attention to the updates, but it's pretty hard to check every single thing you use, or think you might use, for perfect functionality in all possible conditions before upgrading.


Fingers crossed.

yes, This is my issue, I got very frustrated with 4.24, I wasted a lot of time on this version.
I did a lot of checking but after upgrading i found out that now it's broken to have an object not render in main pass and render in the custom pass. the tracker was at 4.25 for fix, now 4.26
this is a massive problem for my project and I'd done so much extra work before i noticed it that i couldn't go back.

I also spent some serious time trying to work out why some things weren't working properly, to discover they were new bugs in the engine, some of them got patched out in the update. but now i'm scared to update my engine every single time because something will break.
I basically can't release my project until this bug is fixed so i'm waiting on them to undo whatever broke it.

I waited until the first bug patch of 4.24 as well before upgrading and still enough bugs to ruin my development. Not new feature bugs but bugs on featurs that i've been using since 4.12

It's so embarassing to submit the project for review and have to say. well this feature that you've seen working over the last few years now doesn't work. when will it be fixed? no idea...

we have movie render preview problem we have 4.24.3 and 4.25 preview is not proper in both engine

[The_Distiller]

I hope the final release will reintroduce ray tracing quality overrides in the movie render manager. That option vanished after preview 1.

[unreal3ddvp]

Why cant I see 4.25 preview as an engine install option in the Library?

Is there any 4.25 ETA ?

Is there any 4.25 ETA ?

Very soon!

[motorsep]

Very soon!

Well, if they are previewing 4.25 next Friday, I'd guess another 2 weeks without release...

[Raed Abbas]

Very soon!

Soon means completely different thing for different people

I wish they would do another couple of previews.. never had Epic Games work for the end user like this, kudos to them.
