Unreal Engine 4.7 Released!

[Hevedy]

What are now the files changed from the templates like FPS and others, now i got all different nice...
+ Now the multiplayer in-editor don't work with old classes and give a crash

Are they any plans for a patching system? Downloading 4.5 GB for every single hotfix seems a little bit, er, you know....

I am saddened. Still broken blueprints loading and there is no hope for a solution:

Hi Bozaro,

I am a bit confused. In both of the threads you linked (your links here are broken, I used the ones from your last post), you posted that you found the specific commit for the fix and in both it seems that the errors you are seeing have been resolved internally and will be implemented into the engine, potentially in 4.8. I don't understand your meaning by "there is no hope for a solution". Can you clarify?

Thank Epic for this update .

I saw today from IGN France , Windows 10 will come in 4 months (free Update for Windows 7/8) , Unreal Engine is full ready for DirectX 12 ? What card ready DTX 12 Epic you advise us ?

We actually already diff chunks and only send down ones that change. My guess is that large hotfix sizes are caused by rippling changes in files like .pdb and .lib that may change drastically all throughout the file even if little has really changed, but someone on the launcher team will be investigating this in the future to see what we can do to get the size down further.

We're also interested in doing some sort of 'optional downloads' system further down the road which would separate out the bits for different platforms, maybe the C++ libs/pdbs, etc... so you could pick and choose what you want to download / have installed.

Cheers,

That would be pretty cool. I know for example that I'm probably never going to deploy anything to iOS or HTML5 etc, so not downloading and installing all that stuff would be great.

At the moment I'm trying to get to work with these commits editor. They are repairing these problems and add new ones. Until the process converges.
I have no hope that in the near future will release an editor with the correct assets loading.

Nice Update but fix please "Landscape bugs".

[John Alcatraz]

Could you be more specific about which bugs you mean?

[Ali1ty]

I think he means the black chunks which appear on mobile.

I wonder how epic fix these kind of bugs. Its really annoying to bugfix I think, because you have to make changes, then apply material again, then build again, then package again and finally deploy to mobile to see if it fixes the problem.

Don't worry mate, UE4 it's still a baby, all those issues will be fixes in the next updates for sure. Most of those "bugs" are actually made by our own hand.

Hello and sorry for asking here but it's really important to me.

Is the coming 4.8 preview version reliable enough to start a brand new project in it and then move the data to the final 4.8 ? Since the project relies highly on the new features that come with 4.8 such as ecosystem painting and large landscape handling etc.

Regards,
Alireza.

You should never start or continue production work on a preview build. Feel free to try out the tools and report issues, but they are previews for a reason and I would hate for you to lose work if there turns out to be a serialization issue or something like that.
