This place contains my lessons learned about working 1.5 years with Unreal Engine after migrating from Unity.

While Unreal obviously has a lot of pro’s to it, it’s more in my nature to focus on the cons, so this page might come of a bit like “bashing”, but it is meant more to highlight areas that could be improved.

Specific Topics:

Unreal Engine: uproject file

Unreal Engine: user interface

Unreal Engine: Casting

Unreal Engine: Lumen

Unreal Engine: C++

Unreal Engine: Blueprints

Unreal Engine: Long Lasting Issues

Unreal Engine: Plugins

General

A lot of the time the engine decides the appropriate reaction is to crash.

• E.g. Have a corrupt blueprint? Instead of marking the actor/component unable to load, the engine will crash when trying to open the level. So you’re (nearly) unable to get rid of that Actor and save your Scene.
