[General] Unreal Engine 5 Update

[Galactic Grass]

How are you feeling about the new Game Engine?

Firstly, I'd like to mention the elephant in the room, which is game stutters across the board. Killer Vaulting, Pallet Breaking, Server Issues, and much more came with this update. On a positive note, I do believe that changing to the new engine will allow the devs some additional wiggle room to make necessary changes to bug-fix and patch more frequently. Now, I have noticed that with the addition of the new engine came many UI and HUD updates, which is good news for the future. I'm happy to see that, as it confirms to me that there's hope for new and helpful HUD elements to come.

Sadly, this launch needed more time to cook and of course, with this game being multi-platform is a challenge in itself. As for delaying an update just isn't possible without the Microsoft Certification process and the Nintendo Switch update process. I sure do hope that at some point we get a nice clear road map and guide on what the devs are planning to change other than the PTB. I feel as if the PTB doesn't fully showcase the true amount of bugs and issues an update like this causes. Furthermore, it does not allocate enough time for bug fixing and patchwork to be made to push out a stable update.

What do you think?

Yea having huge issues with stuttering and server ping just spiking when never had a problem before

It's really bad, PTB was better, it didn't had any lags

Quite a bit of stuttering and things feelings less smooth than before. Hopefully, they get this fixed. Just making my mouse to look around feels off tbh. I uninstalled for now and reinstall once they figured out what they want to do...

I'm Killer main, and I feel like my character has spasms every time I step through a window opening.

it's because on live servers we have at least 40x more players

engine changes are good, but everytime a game does a engine change alot of issues comes that take a little while to patch it alll :/

this happened to dota 2 , cs 2 right now etc.

Hopefully they fix the servers soon because yeah, the random stuttering and lag spikes are awful now when they weren't before. Worse I had to deal with prior was playing with folks across sea and dealing with the high ping, but now it's horrible even with folks in the Americas.

I was forced to update my NVIDIA Drivers (If its not broken don't fix it), after the U5 Update Dbd was shuttering and rubberbanding after turning off all their 3D, Shaders and other additional graphic settings (In the NVIDIA Control Panel) I'm proud to say that today all my runs have had ZERO shuttering, Rubberbanding or issues.

Only immediate upside I've noticed is the bloodweb loads waaaaay faster, but beyond that just kinda seems like normal except with a LOT more glitches

Considering U5 dbd is still broken for me, I hate it lol.
