I just wish there were more options for left-side keypad keyboards, so it doesn't get between the important keys and the mouse.

What is next? BRGA colors?

You probably clicked the Linkedin shortcut on the start menu.
It automatically installs the app from the MS app store and launches the app.

That seems auspicious 👀

Alternatively you can add a Math Expression node, if you are not comfortable with C++.

You can always use Function Libraries for little snippets of C++ to use inside your blueprints :)

Postprocess mat are great if you want to outline the entire scene.
If you want to outline a few items/characters, a decal based outline is usually a great choice. You can create a outline BP component and add to the actor dynamically when interacted/aimed at.

You don't need to make the project C++ based, it automatically converts the blueprint project to a C++ project when you add your first C++ class.
Having it be C++ from start uses the C++ version of the starter content, making it harder to expand for people without C++ knowledge.

Yeah, mobo manufacturers, especially ASUS, set the overclocking parameters too high, above what Intel recommends, which caused instability issues and sometimes damaged the CPUs, making it worse over time.
The BIOS update should bring the settings to what Intel recommends, stopping the instability.

Intel 13th or 14th gen?
Lots of people were having crashes on these CPUs, especially during CPU intensive workloads (shader compiling, packaging, etc).

Americans will need to impeach him before he is able to complete the coup, and he already started.
Otherwise, he will become America's Putin.

There are also settings to increase the number of workers, giving them more threads.
NumUnusedShaderCompilingThreads=0
ShaderCompilerCoreCountThreshold=12 (change to your thread count)
PercentageUnusedShaderCompilingThreads=0
WorkerProcessPriority=1 (1=above normal)

Try with x264 or hvec.
If it doesn't work, maybe the path is wrong (could be a packaging issue) so check if the file exists on the path.
Or try a different player, like the Electra player (enable it on the plugin list).

Have you tried updating your drivers and disabling overlays? (like steam, discord, rivatuner)

That's weird, I have a RTX4060, that is about the same power in raster as the RTX3060, and I'm running on 1080p high at around 110fps with no AA, or around 90 with TAAU, with DLSS off and no frame generation, 100% rendering scale.

Nothing you said is a requirement in UE5.
If the company makes their game not performant, blame the company, not UE.

There is a trend across the board in companies disregarding optimization, but it just because it doesn't make the game sell more. People continue to buy/play unoptimized gamed.

Try to update your drivers and Windows.
The game can't just decide it will use the max resources it can, it uses what the system and drivers allows it. When you run OBS at a higher priority Windows should allocate more resources for it.
The same thing would probably happen on any GPU intensive game.

No issues here, running smooth.
February 6, 2025 at 2:43 PM
You are probably having the game and OBS fight for GPU resources.
Run OBS on higher priority (settings->advanced->Priority) and as Admin if you are not on Win11.
Also limit the FPS of the game and run it with settings that leave some headroom for OBS.
