When Unity started collapsing I made a quick "how do I get going in Unreal" website many folks found helpful. that website has now MOVED and is a DIFFERENT COLOUR. If you want Unreal demystification, tips and scoops, this is a place

Haha I'd say you get to choose your pick of the litter
Oldest logo is best!
It's also good to remember that you don't have to include the logo in your game, you should actually ask us permission first:
bsky.app/profile/flas...
I keep seeing people using the old UE logo to advertise their game/product. We updated it quite a while ago (the U is rounder now.)
You can just download the high-res logo from unrealengine.com/branding, don't get it from Google Images 😬
Awesome video where @doublefine.com show you their in-engine Unreal workflows 😍 #uetips

That's how you get zero stutters in your game. You're welcome, game industry. #uetips
The text version of "Profiling with Purpose: Performance Lessons from a Real Unreal Project" is up! Check it if you, like me, prefer text/images over videos for learning. #uetips

Conferences can be super busy; it can be hard to find the time to eat dinner.
Fun fact: hors d'oeuvres can be a dinner if you just eat enough of them! 🤯
Pic related: me gobbling down finger food while the other person talks.
This guide complements The Great Hitch Hunt presentation really well, also check that out if you haven't already: dev.epicgames.com/community/le...
My coworker Zhi Kang Shao just published the Level Streaming Hitching Guide, a huge resource on the things you can do to prevent hitches during level streaming.

Another one for my #UnrealEngine required reading list: dev.epicgames.com/community/le...
Oh god 😅
"Mafia: The Old Country: Using MetaHuman in a AAA Character Pipeline" is a fantastic talk on Hangar 13's use of MetaHuman for their amazing-looking characters! 🤩

Ari and I both said a lot of words on stage at #UnrealFest Stockholm, and I think these are the most important. How to think about profiling, how to read the unicorn barf that is Unreal Insights, and tips for looking at GPU captures.
Wow, perfect timing! I was just writing up some info on that internally for my teammates 😄
See image. The link goes here: dev.epicgames.com/documentatio...
How do we profile games at Epic Games? Check out this presentation where @mattoztalay.bsky.social and I examine perf captures from Arctic Hazard's "NORSE: Oath of Blood" and show you how to use Unreal Insights and PIX.

Hæ from Reykjavík! Huge thanks to @flassari.bsky.social for being part of the very first Reykjavík Game Summit, and for capturing this great moment along the way! 📸
There are no stupid questions!
That's basically what's already happening. They shouldn't get compiled every game start, they get cached by the GPU driver. UE still needs to send those requests to make sure every one of them is still cached, but it's much faster on subsequent runs.
When an Unreal 5.3+ game runs, it will immediately kick off precompilation of global shaders. You should wait for that to complete before starting the game, otherwise you'll likely get hitches. You do that with the NumPrecompilingPSOsRemaining node. #uetips
I got to be a part of history! Super grateful to be able to participate on stage at Reykjavík Game Summit's inaugural conference 🤩
"Hi from Reykjavík!" 👋
I've been waiting on this one! See how to use our new and immensely powerful GPU profiler in Unreal Engine 5.6+, and how it helps you debug GPU crashes! #uetips
