Unreal engine 5

[Spyfox_Hound]

As said by the devs, they're planning to move to unreal engine 5.
I'm wondering if most of the current mods will work. I think that's a shame that some mods might not work with the new engine. Have you experienced this situation with another game concerning mods ?

I feel safe betting that most mods will simply break and their authors will need to update them. From my understanding Void is already working with modders to help them understand how they'll need to update mods, but I haven't seen it since I don't venture to that place.

But it isn't necessarily UE5 that will break everything either, it's updating the game. New guns usually break gun mod packs because they don't have the new guns accounted for. If they changed any of the voicelines or add any, it tends to break voice line mods. They have already said they're tweaking the AI, and that 100% of the time breaks AI mods.

I experience one emotion above all: displeasure. The Unreal 5 engine paired with the i9 13th 13900k and i9 13th 14900k concocts hilarious antics, like crashing with the oh-so-helpful message, "More memory needed." Yes, indeed. More memory. Of course ...

With Epic (*shudders*) and NVIDIA embroiled in their blame-passing spectacle, I find myself actually grateful for every game that arrives in the Unreal Engine 4 - and stays in the UE4 Engine.

Hopefully maps and the blood mod will be ok with the switch.

Do we have any idea when a possible time frame is for the drop?

That a cpu fault, not engine itself or neither nvidia, and it's happening on ue4 as well

When is the switch to Unreal Engine 5?

The switch will be with the DLC

Does the UE5 switch come with any benefits for the end user? Like better performance or potentially better graphic options ?

It does come with the restriction of WIndows 10 or newer, but it is intended be a smoother experience overall and allow us to use a bunch of UE5 exclusive tools and features.

Can we still keep the unreal engine 4 version that we bought (on a steam branch) ?

Graphics-wise I haven't noticed any differences between UE4 and 5 versions. Which is a shame, I hoped to see some imrovements.

Considering how many people seems to have performance issues, engine update without graphics changes is a good call. New optimizations should improve performance and it will not be eaten up by a bigger workload to execute.

ue5 brings a bunch of stuff that they're using to make it a straightforward upgrade, particularly the PSO pre-caching. it would be dumb to make something in UE4 in 2024 unless you're already deep in dev and have committed custom elements to the engine in order to overcome some of those issues. iirc UE5.3 also helps multithread the render workload so this is a nobrainer.

Mods that are updated will be fine, mod authors should consult the updated UE5 unofficial guides for how to update their mods.
