Unreal Engine 4.11 Preview

[Keytotruth]

Is it normal that my project closes down when I try to change the font style of a text in UMG?
I cannot seem to be able to do it for some reason, even on newly created UMG widgets.

I'm assuming that this thing is the error that's causing it:

[2016.01.27-10.39.53:504][320]LogTabManager:Warning: Cannot spawn tab because no spawner is registered for 'BlueprintProfiler'

This is what the log shows before the crash. I'm assuming that the tab for selecting font style has something wrong.

Are there any plans to overhaul your foliage system? We're getting tremendous performance hits in ways we wouldn't on something like CryEngine or even Unity.

I had an answerhub thread about this but they don't seem to have any plans for this.

but I did have some interesting findings while messing with all the settings (even got to decent performance with thousands of trees and quite long view distances). so maybe I can help you.
is the performance hit on the CPU or the GPU? what are your polycounts for every LOD?
things to try:
- Make sure your foliage is set to Static (not Movable)
- for every Element of every LOD in your foliage meshes, uncheck 'Enable Collision'. you'll still get actor collisions but it will ignore decals and other per-poly checks. you can leave this enabled for the trunk section of LOD0 if you really need it.

Hi Jenny,

Can you make a post on the AnswerHub in the Bug Reports section with this one? I did a quick test and was not able to reproduce this in 4.11 preview 3. I simply placed a lightmass portal in the level and added to a BP, then built lighting.

If you can include the call stack from crash reporter along with your machine/epic id, your logs from your saved folder in your project, and any additional information with the setup that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Thank you! I've assigned myself to the post and will try to see if I can get anywhere with it shortly. If I have any follow-up questions I'll post there.

Stephen, can you confirm that tessellation will be back in the 4.11 release ?

[breese45]

That is a Big-O-Chunk of fix-idness! Thank-You.

[Tim Hobson]

Stephen, can you confirm that tessellation will be back in the 4.11 release ?

Hi Gwenn,

Right now the ticket for the tessellation issue (UE-25334) has not been resolved. Sorry for the inconvience it's causing. We'll see if we can get this bumped up in priority.

Thank you!

Tim

Great job Epic!

I keep trying to get info about this, but it doesn't seem that anyone from Epic is willing to respond :/

Is GLES 3.x (going to be) available in 4.11 out of the box (without a need to recompile engine) ?

Is Oculus Mobile/Audio SDK 1.x already made it into preview 4 ?

Thanks.

[gameDNA studio]

Preview 4 still generates VS2013 project...

[Sebastian Kowalczyk]

It should work fine, I'm using it daily for some time now.

Preview 4 still generates VS2013 project...

Hey gameDNA studio-

Can you elaborate on what you're seeing? I created a code project from the 4.11 preview 4 from the Launcher which opened the project solution in VS2015. Which version of VS2015 are you using (Community, Express, Pro)? Are you using the preview from source code or from the Launcher? Are you creating a new project or adding code to an existing project?

Cheers

Doug Wilson

Hmm, how do you use this new DOF options of particles?
