  • As someone who’s never used Apple devices I was a bit peeved when my car came with an iPod. I spent days trying out random 3rd party software because I refused to use iTunes. In the end, I settled for CopyTrans software.

    You still need to have the iTunes services installed afaik, but you can use this program to put music on your device, pad out the meta info on the MP3 files and sync the playlists without having to open iTunes at all.

    Maybe not entirely the answer you were looking for, but it was a workable solution for me after days of trial and error, so I’m hoping I can save you those troubles.





  • If it’s related to the thread you posted then try Nightly?

    That’s only in Nightly right now, unfortunately; it won’t make it out to Release until v134.

    Also, can I ask why you’d leave your browser open for weeks? Just curious of the use case. The thread mentions having 5700-7000 open tabs, and I can’t fathom why someone would do that. It’s not like the websites disappear if you close the tab. Nothing to do with the problem though, you don’t have to answer.









  • I’m not gonna watch the whole video, so apologies if this is addressed in the video.

    It’s not necessarily a problem of the engine. Sure, there are bugs, compatibility problems, regression, etc that will happen from time to time, setting back development milestones or simply just break existing games until they are patched.

    But, the cause here is the people using the tools: AAA-studios have laid off so much staff that experts regarding UE(5) aren’t involved anymore. Plus, QA, and by extension optimization, has been hit hard too.

    So you got developers who don’t fully know how to use the engine to its fullest, and a gutted QA department that won’t be able to get all the issues reported, tested and prioritized anymore.



  • I don’t have the means to watch the entire video at the moment, but the description struck me as strange:

    Dragon Age Veilguard joins the ranks of Concord and Redfall in the history of commercial game failures

    It wasn’t a massive hit but as far as I know, DA: TV sold a lot more than Concord and Redfall. By estimates, probably 3x as much as those titles combined.

    Was that enough to recoup cost? Probably not. Is it fair to put DA: TV in the same breath as Concord and Redfall? Absolutely not.
