@@CobraCode Also quick update, I used the tip about the OpenImageDenoiser earlier today on my small side scroller project and upon restart my Paper2D.PaperCharacter BP was wiped of all its nodes, as well as a few images I imported from Aesprite. I wonder if the Denoiser has any connection to sprites. No worries though, I wanted to switch the Paper2D class to a Pawn anyways so this was a good excuse to run through it all again. Also maybe ill start looking into version control now haha

Hey, I'm currently working on a html5 template for UE4 and doing that package size reduction pass xD Apparently removing some plugins like Android add more momory to the packaged project, probably because of the recompilation (I was around 70 to 75Mb during this test), I'm not done with it yet but it's interesting that removing plugins depending the proejct (or the version of the engine) will not have the same impact in your final package size 😁 PS: That OpenImageDenoiser omg didn't knew about it! Sometime I use path tracer for rendering but that's a good way to reduce some of the memory, that's a cool tip!

Nice. Still a little larger than I'd like but definitely more reasonable. I always hate when people say size doesn't matter these days. Even with a 1tb drive if every game is 50gb, that is less than 20 games on the drive. Sure download speeds are faster these days but who wants to waste 30 minutes finding something to uninstall plus the download and install process? And especially for indie devs, if I'm scrolling through my installed games and one game is 30 GB and another is 150 MB (and my desire to play them are roughly equal.) The 30 GB is gone without a second thought. Just having your game be installed longer on a player's system automatically increases the chances they'll play it more. I probably have 20+ games on my deck that will likely be there forever because they're small enough (

Yeah, make one single bloated .pak file instead of smaller ones. That way, when you enroll a 10MB patch on a 50GB game - the whole 50GB _(with the addition of 50GB more for the temp files)_ would get rewrited. Gamers _(and their SSD's)_ will be so thankful for that. And if you'll do these kind of updates daily - they'll thank you even more for the extra support.
@CobraCode
@CobraCode 19 күн бұрын
Hey, thanks for the feedback. This is actually the one thing I couldn't find a definitive answer on and yeah I remember what you're saying at least used to be an issue with some games in the past. 'Use Pak File' was false by default with older versions of Unreal, however recently it has become the default setting and I'm not sure if they would do that if it still leads to the same issue of forcing your players to redownload the entire game. When we use this together with 'Use IO Store' we actually don't just get a huge .pak file but also a .utoc and .ucas. Using this setup will actually lead to better load times for your games through the Zen Loader. Now I don't know anything about how steam handles the update process of games, so the only way to really find out would be to actually test it by uploading and updating a game on steam with these settings.

@@CobraCode Jokes aside, I see that every other time I check the Steam downloads tab. And when a game is getting a couple hundred kilobytes _(!)_ worth of patches _(yes, it's not a figure of speech - I've seen bytes even)_ yet it re-writes its, say, 10+ GB main file - it gets frustrating, and I usually just delete that game. Not to mention that if a user will do a, say, Express16k on that folder _(if a game is poorly compressed initially)_ - he will have to waste a *whole* game amount of TBA a *third* time using that. Because devs know that they made a bloated single file, yet they *still* push pointless updates almost daily, knowing perfectly that they straight up wasting their loyal users' SSD's _(by burning their TBA)_ - they deserve no other credit than that. It was crucial in the early HDD days, as with the linear read the loading times were much better _(and easier on the head flying hours)._ Nowadays we have solid-state drives _(I still use extra HDD's for crucial info, ofc, but that's an another topic),_ and their random read is abysmally higher that the HDDs', so there's no point in doing that anymore. It's in fact better to *split* the data - because most SSD's have multithreaded controllers. And the splitting won't be on a kilobyte level anyways - a mere couple hundred megabytes _(or even sub-100 MB)_ will do just fine. That will be plenty enough for decent compressibility _(with a high dictionary size),_ yet it will deliver seamless patching process - both easy on a storage device and fast in terms of the process itself. And on top of that, if a user will do extra compression _(say, Express16k)_ - only the modded files would have to be re-compressed, resulting in blazing fast folder "re-check" _(and, again, easier on the SSD)._ It's a win-win. =)

You can then make children and just change the parameters for the animation blueprint, the AI controller etc.

Are there any other specific optimization settings for mobile? I followed the entire optimization process, managed to create a game in Unreal Engine 5.2 for Android, resulting in an installation file (.apk) of 47.4 MB, which, after installation on the device, occupies 129 MB of space. It's just a 2D pixel art game, so 129 MB seems quite excessive.

If you're still just messing around and unused assets are the culprit setting the maps to package like I said in the video will do the trick. There are also other techniques to make textures smaller, but that might impact quality.

@@vaisakhkm783 I don't work professionally either, i'm an amateur. But just from the perspective of trying to achieve something specific in your game, Unreal is a massive pain in the ass when it comes to feature bloat and undocumented bullshit. Also Unreal is an extremely rigid system when it comes to doing anything with the renderer. The only answer becomes "just rewrite half the engine bro" very quickly, especially because Unreal has metric fucktons of overhead for every little thing imaginable, and other aspects of the engine are just clearly underdeveloped (which has led Epic Games down the path of AI-powered supersampling due to the horrific performance of Unreal's renderer). Godot lack features, yes, but from what i understand, that makes it a tool which allows you to do things more precisely without constantly having to fight the current implementation.

Then why the fuck are there literal widely used console commands, engine settings and project settings in the fucking engine for people to adjust to fit their project then, numbnuts? Why does the (annoyingly sparse) official documentation for unreal engine give instructions on which console commands, .ini settings and project/engine options to enable and disable according to what you need to accomplish? But i digress, your arrogance was not my point. I never said that unreal itself is bloat? What the fuck would that even mean? I said that unreal *contains* too much bloat, and that the console commands, .ini settings and engine/project options are not enough to make the engine modular enough to develop precisely the kind of features for one's game as is possible in engines with a less rigid structure, such as godot, and even unity. You ever wonder why unity was much more popular among indie devs than unreal? And why most AAA studios have their own in-house engines instead of using unreal? It's because unity is extremely modular, and it's capable of much more than unreal because of this. The only advantage unreal has is that it has extremely developed features for games with very narrow requirements, namely, realistic-ish looking graphics, at a massive cost to file size and performance. And get the fuck out of here with that trash, you sound like a 15 year old. I bet you don't even know about the severe bandwidth cost of the various screen buffers of deferred rendering. I suggest you keep your mouth shut until you read more about game engines, you fucking child.

@anonymouseovermouse1960 Can we please keep it civil here? razorgmyt6772 comment was a bit snarky, but you didn't need to bite the bait that hard. It's fine if you don't like Unreal, but you're obviously looking for trouble coming to an Unreal video talking trash. Not saying you don't have a valid point, but you're the one escalating the conversation to name calling and using profanity. We can have discussions about the pro's and con's but no lashing out here please or I'll have to intervene.

Like I said multiple times in the video this is for special use cases. If you want to go Triple A you don't have to worry about this much. If you want to make 2D games, mobile games, Low Poly 3D or something small for game jams this is for you.

I’m sure this is useful but -100% for the super misleading title. Makes it seem like you did something to fix a problem, not just list off settings to turn solutions, that UE created, on or off. Like I don’t want to discourage anybody from putting out useful content but OP made it seem like I was going to learn something technical about how UE bundles data but nope, just some dude who apparently needs to manipulate people into watching videos. “I cured cancer” (explains how to cut tumor off with a knife)

Hey, thanks for the feedback. The original title of the video was 'How to Reduce Package Size with Unreal Engine 5 - Ultimate Guide' and it performed absolutely horrible. So I changed the title about 5 hours after release and now it's one of my best performing videos. Do you believe it's for the greater good to let all of this useful information and 4 weeks of hard work and research time go to waste just to have a technically accurate title? Or make a slightly sensational title to make sure the video gets the views it deserves, so the algorithm picks it up and properly shows it to all of my subscribers and other people in need of this information? I wish it wasn't like this, but sadly this is how KZfaq works and I've experienced this many times.

@@CobraCode hey, that’s fair. The only issue was I spent like 6 or 7 minutes watching the video before I realized the video wasn’t going to get into what the title makes it seem like it’s about so I kinda felt like a little robbed. It’s possible you stated what you’d go over at the beginning and I wasn’t paying close enough attention, so if you did my bad!

Wait, what? 150 MB for blank project? So it's 150 MB of air! Hilarious nonsense! Didn't know UE devs have such standards :).

It's actually 90MB of the best shader code in existence + some other stuff :) All the things that make Unreal Engine look so much better than any other engine are in there.

​@@CobraCode but it's still an empty project, and it's not using any of those shaders and other code. At most, there's a crash handler, a window handler, and some OpenGL/Vulkan/DirectX handling. It'd be nice if Unreal didn't include any unused shaders/code in the build.
