Unreal Engine 4.11 Preview

[motorsep]

I've learned that GLES 3.x won't be part of the 4.11 Binary.

Cheers

That is pretty upsetting, but thanks for finding out.

Can you please tell us when, if ever, GL ES 3.x will be one of the standard options shipped with UE4 ?

Hi,

I'm please could you expand on what the following means for VR. I primarily work in large scale VR for education. So need to run stereo in full side by side mode on lecture screens. We still use head tracking and wand devices but are constrained to using Unity 3D because we can use a custom camera rig and frustum to control the FOV and eye sep. Currently the only VR systems supported are small scale VR headsets with additional warping distorting the side by side to correct headset lens distortion needed.

Will any of these new features support turning the post process distortion off? I'm not sure I understand the release notes, any help would be appreciated. I'd much prefer to work with UE4 than Unity 3D on the next project.

Thanks
Cat

In 4.11 preview 4 I am still experience an issue similar to UE-25625, but only with inherited BP actor. I have been experiencing this issue since around 4.7.

I have a Parent BP that inherits down into 4 child BPs that in turn inherit down to ~8 grand-child BPs each. Occasionally when I open after UE4 crashing usually one or more of my grand-child BPs will have their values reset to the defaults of the parent/grand parent.

I was first under the impression this may have been a "feature" that pushes down the defaults down to the children BPs, but it only affects some grand-children seemingly randomly while the others remain perfectly fine. After about 5 crashes all my values will be back to their defaults.

Does this sound like UE-25625 or perhaps a different bug altogether? Does any one know of any work arounds? I worked around this by data driving all my defaults, but this is quite tedious and was hoping this would be resolved in this version.

Also, a new issues I'm experiencing on 4.11 preview 4 is inability to launch to IOS due to generic company name in plist file. I made a post on the answerhub here:
https://answers.unrealengine.com/que...generatin.html

Any one else experiencing this as well? Is this potentionally related to UE-25571? The quick version of the issues is that it appears that Bundle Identifier is being ignored when "launch to device" is used causing a generic identifier in plist which causes the package to be rejected by IOS.

I would appreciate any help with these issues.

I've been fighting a similar issue with inherited BP in the current release with 4.10. For whatever reason, the thing will reset all my child class variables with whatever values are in the parent BP. Interestingly enough, it doesn't happen with all the children of a class. This has made me wonder if something was upgraded in the engine since it seems that it is always with the older inheritance classes.

This would be a good thing to check. Tomorrow I'll create some brand new BPs full of inheritances and will see if I can do anything to get them to reset. If it does work it is still not an ideal solution as larger BP projects would take some time to complete migrate over manually*, but it's better than no solution.

*Assuming r-click>duplicate would also duplicate the bug itself.

Can we get some tutorial examples of how the new attenuation setting can work? Tried 4.11, but sound occlusion for example didn't work for me.



[EDIT] Got it to work now!

In that screenshot you had your filter frequency up to 20kHz which essentially means the sound will be unchanged since the filter isn't doing anything. Same thing with the volume attenuation, so setting either of these values lower (or higher in the case of the volume attenuation) will cause audible changes provided the radius and falloff of the sound are large enough.

UPDATE!

We have just released Preview 5 for 4.11! Please view the Known Issues List on page 1 of this thread for the updated list of known issues.

Thank you for your continued help in testing the 4.11 build before its official release. As a reminder, the Preview builds are for testing only, and should not be used for the active development of your project.

Cheers!

[kurylo3d]

can we get an example character with skin hair and eyes shading and set up.

[The_Distiller]

An updated content example project, showcasing all the new character shaders would be awesome!

[Stephen Ellis]

can we get an example character with skin hair and eyes shading and set up.

We intend to provide sample content with the final 4.11 release.

Cheers

[PaulCy]

Will Content Examples be upgraded with new Hair, Eye, Cloth and Skin shaders/materials?

Thanks.

This, and some tutorials, will have us churning out some fantastic stuff. We just need the right training.

[R&D Lab]

Great job !

UE-25747 is listed both in Fixed! in Preview 5 and in the Know Issues list

[DevilsD]

Any word on whether or not UE-18622 will be included in 4.11?

I really need that one fixed, there is a PR for it. https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/pull/2010

Hah, good find. I'll investigate this one tomorrow and take it out of this quantum state of uncertainty.
