Heads-up: In 5.7, the Package Project and Cook Content options are unselectable by default. You'll need to manually assign a platform for these before Packaging or Cooking.

Platforms menu, Package Project sub menu selected, Package Project greyed out and unselectable.

I think Nori might have put together the definitive guide on the Shader Complexity View Mode in #UnrealEngine in his talk at #UnrealFest Bali (spoilers: optimizing for that view mode doesn't necessarily result in performance gains)

Oh, right. I can just scale up the interface when I need to take screenshots for presentations (or when my eyes get tired). Neat.

Edit > Editor Preferences > General > User Interface > Application Scale.
[ALT] Unreal Engine 5.5 Editor Preferences Menu window and a main UE window behind it, with text and icons scaled up using Application Scale set to 1.5.

bug - something broken in a tech thing
buggy - a way to describe tech that has bugs
bugged - something or some place that has a secret microphone or camera planted in it for spying on people

Whenever I read 'the code/game is bugged,' I get a lil tripped up 😅

📚 NEW article collection! The Epic TDR team was recently set up as an Organization on the Epic Developer Community, so now all of our presentations, demos, articles, and tutorials are listed in one convenient place!! Check out what we've made: tinyurl.com/EpicTDRonEDC
Screenshot of the TDR organization page on EDC. It has a header with the TDR name, then an expanded tutorials section that shows a variety of articles, talks, etc as tiles with cover images.

2. Specify the symbols path in Render Doc (Tools > Settings > Core > Shader debug search paths)
3. Restart RenderDoc

Here's another little UE tidbit: Hold Shift while expanding a section to expand all of its subsections at once. Same goes for collapsing sections. It's a quick way to control the granularity of what you see in places like the Details panel.
Detail panel in UE 5 showing a Camera Shake Pattern section that's been shift-expanded, resulting in the subsections like Location, X, Y, Z, etc opened fully to expose the parameters within them like Location Amplitude. Detail panel in UE 5 showing a Camera Shake Pattern section that's been regularly click-expanded, showing only the collapsed subsection names (Location, Rotation, FOV, Timing) without revealing the parameters within.
