February 2024 Database Rollback

On 02-14-2024 our forum database was rolled back to a 2020 backup due to news that the new host we migrated to in 2021 experienced a breach within their management portal.

There is no evidence anything on this server was compromised, but for the safety of our members, we decided to completely rebuild the server from the ground up using an older backup in order to ensure nothing malicious was injected into the database. This was a lot more work than most would imagine.

We apologize for any posts our members may have lost, but we believe this was the correct decision.

when I right click on Game folder and Build in Visual Studio 2019 I get the following error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB3073 The command "chcp 65001 >NUL && E:\UE\UE_4.25\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat MyGame Win64 Development -Project="C:\Users\yaya\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyGame\MyGame.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6. MyGame C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 46

I'm just guessing here but it's possible that was caused by using VS 2019. Visual Studio 2017 was used to compile it originally. I've had problems in the past running different versions of Visual Studio from what Epic used for a particular engine release.

Any news here. Would be nice to see it again with used new UE4 version.

We've been waiting to see what Epic does with their new online subsystem. We don't want to re-invent the wheel if they decide to release something.

When upgrading to 4.24:

It looks like the CallURL function in VaRest has been removed. I noticed the dev said it was causing memory corruptions in Android. It's possible that's why it was removed. Someone requested it put back in the project here. https://github.com/ufna/VaRest/pull/263

You can download that person's fork of the VaRest plugin as of the date on this post here. https://github.com/ATaysikuu/VaRest

The CallURL node is required for fetching the client's IP from api.ipify.org in the HostGame widget.

I'm testing it now.

Edit: It appears to work with that fork of VaRest. Did that fix your issue? Or are you still seeing a black screen? I've seen that happen with incorrect GameMode settings.

So, with the latest advanced session and Rama's latest, with the UE4.24, the editor finally comes up, but the GamepadUMG, VaRest plugins are only up to UE21...

When 'play' is hit, only the black screen is showing, (I also have Steam running)...

So, perhaps you could make the product compatible with different version of UE, eg UE4.22 and later?

Anyway, I really appreciate what you have put in, I am now able to take a look at the BP

Thanks for appreciating the work we put in. I just opened the project and I noticed for some reason the enumerations aren't working. That's strange. I'm working on figuring out why right now.

I'm looking at 4.24 right now. I'll see if there's a weird issue with updating to that version of the engine.

GamepadUMG is kind of abandoned. This person claims to have it working for 4.24. We might remove it in the next release. It's been a lot of trouble for us. If you don't need controller support, I'd just remove parts of the blueprints that call the GamepadUMG nodes. A lot of people have been trying to figure out how to fix it over the past year or so. https://sb1985.com/other-2/gameplay/how-to-move-the-mouse-cursor-using-the-gamepad/

It's easy to find the GamepadUMG nodes if you just disable the plugin. They will show up as errors when you load your project. Goodluck

Here is the current VaRest. https://github.com/ufna/VaRest

No, I have not downloaded this new one.
Looking into this issue further, visual studio 2019's indicates that it is flagging this compiler issue as an error now (see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/code-quality/ca1008?view=vs-2017#configurability), perhaps previous version of visual studio was ok with it. So looks like the source of the problem is in AdvancedSteam related?

It could be related to Advanced Sessions. I'd make sure the latest plugins are used. Here is Advanced Sessions Plugin.
