Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5

[decizion]

Might be worth upgrading the engine if possible…

I agree i think it would solve many of the issues they started with when they new less about game development.

[The A**kins Diet]

The game actually runs well. Unreal Engine 4 and 5 games are almost always stuttery messes, even from Triple A devs with teams of hundreds of people. Overhauling a game made by 3 people, that already has some of it's own technical struggles into Unreal 5 just seems like a recipe for a buggy nightmare of a game.

What possible benefit would come of it?

[Wicked Sick]

I am against it. Would only make the game more demanding also the strain that it would bring to the devs would make it unworthy it for a "pretty face" and performance mess.

Here is an interesting comment lifted from this YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj_58od9_xQ
19:43 I've had my share of time with Unreal Engine, and I can actually answer why the movement in there is like that. And it's telling a lot about the developers and their general experience.
The engine treats your character as a physical object, and when you move, it calculates your gravity and acceleration (acceleration is tied to fps, so yeah, you were right there). 99% of the time it doesn't really matter, but if you for whatever reason decide to make your character huge, the engine doesn't know what to do with this anymore.
So apparently, all scales of objects in this game are way off, and it was too far into the development, before they've noticed it. You are a huge giant moving along even more huge models, with all physics multiplied. You can also see it by how slow you are actually falling on 20:59
Further more UE has a long list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1viVezORk8 of successful well run games to boast of. Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, Mortal Shell, Little Nightmares 1+2, Lords of the Fallen 2023. Batman Arkham. My PC wasn't the best till an upgrade late last summer yet two of these games {Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and Mortal Shell) ran perfectly on it.

So it wont run and probably crash half the time?

All Unreal Engine 5 games are running very well for me. Maybe you should consider upgrading your PC.

You may want to check the history of unreal games.

Video is from a year ago. Movement has been fixed since then along with a lot of other improvements.

Understandable that you say that because you have 4070 super that can pull fake frames out of it's ass... I'd have one too if I could actually find one at a good price when they were making them... hate that the 40 series 70 tier cards are priced like 30 series 80 tier cards. and all I felt I couple spare for a gpu is 500 dollars, that's my budget, which if you know anything that would leave most people like me with the 4060/4060TI for options which are trash cards not worth upgrading to if you have a card that's been made within the past 6 years.

I have a 5090 now for more “fake frames out of the ass.” Frame generation is great but not mandatory. In most cases we shall only use it when cranking up the graphics to max at high resolution with ray/path tracing.

idk man..Every ue5 game ive played recently is just way to damn graphically heavy or either un-optimized . Ue5 is forcing people to even upgade rigs. Not a fan, it looks beautiful mostly but I think it still needs a bit too cook.
Ill admit mt rig is nowhere near 2025 standards yet lol So maybe thats my fault, but still. Stuff costs a lot of money too do.

[Killy, the Explorer]

UE5 games look blurry, slow and are buggy, even on high end rigs like my own. The visual plus doesn't justify the hardware hunger at all. Crysis 3 doesn't look worse, but runs smoothly all the time on a 2020 setup, while games like Jedi Survivor runs like ass on it while not looking better. The Unreal engine is just ♥♥♥♥.

asking for a Engine Update, on a niche little Soulslike Game with a development team of 3 people, is mental.
