Unreal Engine 4.9 Preview

[KITATUS]

Happy 4.9 day!

This is the last Epic update where they use numbers; From now on, They'll be using cat names!


...Right?

UPDATE!

4.9 has officially released! Official thread and release notes here: https://forums.unrealengine.com/show...e-4-9-Released!

I'd like to thank every one who helped to test and identify issues during the preview process; we were able to squash a number of bugs that we might not have caught otherwise due to you. Because the preview has ended I am going to close this thread now. If you have an ongoing discussion about 4.9, please continue it in the official release thread.

Thanks!

Hey Epic -

The cooker is forgetting about child / parent references. I really do not think that 4.9 should be shipped until that is fixed.

I have commented on the issue as well.

Edit: Sorry for the Post in the preview section but I am just trying to warn you guys

Any update on the issue regarding SplineComponents not being editable when inherited and built via function calls within the construction script? This is a project killer for me.

still dx12 is crashing for amd gpu's please fix this error

[TriNityGER]

I download today 4.9p4 for using the editor with Dx12 & w10
Added -D3D12 and when start crash the graphic controller (crash) and engine stop working (No response, minimeze in windows bar)

without -D3D12 start ok.

With the latest AMD VR Driver
AMD Catalyst™ Display Driver version 15.20.1062.1005

Actually I have that problem too, I don't use the VR driver however since I have no Oculus Rift or anything.

I'm using a Radeon R9 280X with driver version 15.20.1062.1003-150728a1-187451C on Windows 10 Pro x64.

DFAO doesn't seem to work properly when the skylight min occlusion setting is higher than 0.

I dont think the runtime or the plugin supports dx12 yet.
