Unreal Engine 4.9 Released!

[SaviorNT]

Thanks team!

I'm enthusiastic that at least VS2015 and DX12 are experimental and can be enabled. I don't need to code (yet), but I do need to build the engine for the MMORPG kit. Quick question about the new "ArchViz" Player controller.. if using the controller in a VR environment, how well does that work?

I didn't see a note about the Oculus SDK being updated to 0.7; is this in or did it not make the cutoff?

Hopefully, with 4.10 we'll see the Oculus SDK 1.0, official Win10 support, official DX12 support, and official VS2015 support. Oh, and a VR camera controller please, as that has been backlogged for quite some time now

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was joking about having to scroll through all the notes.

Haha Brilliant, poor Steve aha

Great Update!

There is no mention of the Spline Component updates. Particularly no mention of the fact you cannot edit Spline Points if you create the Spline Component and Points in C++ for use in the construction script. Once created the points turn pink and cannot be selected.

I submit an answerhub for this https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...-when-cre.html

This is a pretty crazy problem for my project which needs to stay up to date for the marketplace. I have discussed with others who say this is detrimental to certain procedural generation techniques too.

Hey Doublezer0,

I've moved the post you linked into the Bug Reports section of AnswerHub, and assigned it to a member of our staff. If they need any further information, they'll post there. Keep in mind for the future that if you're reporting a bug, the Bug Reports section is the place to put it to ensure we see it. Thanks!

[Doublezer0]

Thanks Ben. A friend of mine wrote a bug report but at the time it didn't seem like the place to put it as the documentation stated it was by design.

It says to use VS 2015, I specify -2015 to command line. The thing is, I don't know what tool to use? I downloaded UE through the launcher. There's no right click option, no obvious way to configure the project generation to use VS2015...

Hi,
Thanks for the update to the Substance Plugin! I picked up the 4.9 version of the plugin this afternoon.

[FortuN]

Upgraded from 4.8 to 4.9, getting huge Map Check errors with my old 4.8 projects, why?

[Steve_T]

fantastic! that archviz character came just in time for me.. Great job

I usually transition like nothing even happened, but I wasn't one to pay much attention to the documentation anyways.

Unfortunately we far too often have to not pay attention to the documentation, because it's not there.

Just concerned about what numerous things I might miss now... oh well.

"The previously required boilerplate code can now be removed, but should still work."

Anyone know what this means?

[Keiyentai]

I like what I am seeing. Especially with the lighting/shadowing. Hopefully I can play with it soon. Dealing with a tempramental Videocard atm -_-

[DamirH]

"LocalizationTargetTypes.h(25): error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'FString'" (+ a bunch more errors in the same file)

huh....

I haven't encountered a problem using the scroll wheel in 4.9. Can you please log a Bug Report on the AnswerHub with additional information and repro steps?

Thanks

LOL... I'm pretty sure he was just being funny, meaning his scroll wheel is broken from reading the release notes.
