Oh - one last thing - You might have to double check your plugin dependencies in Text3D.uplugin (Look for GeometryProcessing and ProceduralMeshComponent)

I hope this helps at least one person out there! 😅

Have a great Sunday! 💙

To fix this, you need to modify all your Font uassets and change the following setting:

Loading Policy = Inline

This will effectively embed the font data into the font asset, which was the culprit - the 3D text wasn't able to lazyload the font data!

If you try to cook a build here, it will most likely succeed but you will notice something interesting:

Your 3D text shows up in editor (PIE), but not in cooked builds!

2 - Recompile your editor with Visual Studio
3 - Reopen the editor and make sure that all your Text3D component & Text 3D actor blueprints compile properly.

You might have lost some data here - 5.6 migration might reset variables to their default values.

To fix this:
1 - Install UE5.5 and copy the entire Text3D plugin folder into your own project's plugin folder

The 5.6 version of Text3D plugin crashes the editor. Seems like all users are experiencing this.

If anyone is using Unreal 5.6 and the Text 3D plugin, here's a small thread to save you hours of headaches!

Nice! Been loving BlueSky so far. It feels much easier to connect with people!

I'm so glad I set up this Help Desk for players to report bugs easily. 🎉

If you don't have a Discord for your game and would like to setup a bug report flow too, I recommend FreshDesk! Super simple and not too expensive.

Opened early 2023 build to compare with the final version and.. wow 😂

A lot of things can change in two years, even for part-time solo development!

Quick tip for #UnrealEngine devs.

If you have a Steam link in your game's UI like a wishlist button or something:

You can add steam://openurl/ in front of https:// to open the game store page directly in Steam client instead of an Internet browser! Works really well.

Oh sweet! IGDB games automatically get a countdown page created on yourcountdown.to and now I am equally excited and nervous 😅⏱️

Awesome! 🤘 Cheers to that.

Soul Fuel Games💧 @soulfuelgames.bsky.social · 29d

Haha, most likely 😁 Hang in there! I hope it works out well for you too. I'm far from an expert, but let me know if you're blocked and out of options!

Finally have iOS in-app purchase working!!! 🎉

That took a lot more work than I expected.

GitHub user apmason created a neat plugin which I iterated on - and it's working really well on Sandbox / Test Flight! Let me know if you need link.
