Spent way too long trying to figure out why "Compute Skin Cache" was greyed out.
Turns out, if you actually hover over it, the tooltip literally tells you what’s blocking it. For me, it was Ray Tracing (which I swore I’d already turned off).

Yay, fun times.
Debugging PC in Unreal?
The output log helps. Debugging standalone Meta Quest?
Pure pain.
Spent hours on a crash just to find Compute Skin Cache hates mobile.
Game dev is really 10% coding, 90% problem solving.

I'm just going to move this CommonUI menu into VR real quick, it'll take 5 mins.
Famous last words before discovering CommonUI treats VR interaction components like a security threat.
Am I really manually re parenting an entire menu to standard UMG on a Saturday?

Tried an Android build of my game, but multiplayer broke the compile.
Do I need mobile multiplayer yet? Nope.
Spent ages debugging a framework I barely understand? Yep.
Somehow got PC/Android crossplay working anyway? Heck yeah! 🎉

As a UE5 dev, I spend all day building characters, but none will ever be as legendary as the real Mavis Beacon.
Found at a perfume counter, became the face of digital literacy for millions, sued the Corpos for her cut, and retired to the Caribbean to live off grid.

Yay!
More Murderbot. 🤖
Platform Decay came out today and I am ready to ignore all my responsibilities. Might have to binge the TV show again while I’m at it.

Says £9.99 but went through at £9.29.
Best deal I could find.
Was there a better deal that I missed?
Where does everyone get their ebooks from?

So I had the bright idea of making a tutorial for future me that would hopefully help others.
Tutorials are hard.
You have to do it so your target audience can follow no matter how stupid they are.
I'm primarily writing for me so this is a big problem

Huge respect to the YouTubers who spend hours simplifying things so the rest of us don't have to suffer.

I've finally figured it out.
CommonUI is like a plugging in a USB A cable.
Do fix 1, it doesn't work.
Do fix 2, same.
Do fix FF, same.
Out of desperation try fix 1 again.
It works.
Question sanity.
Nervous breakdown.
Repeat.

That totally fixed my problem.
It was exactly like in the video.
Project settings - Plugins - CommonUI Framework - Enable Common Button Accept Key Handling - Set to Trigger Click.

Watching UE tutorials on my break (as normal people do).
Think I found a fix to my keyboard only use in menus.
One setting in project settings.
Could it be that simple?
Can't wait to test this.
CodeLikeMe's tutorials are awesome.

Thought I had CommonUI down.
Testing edge cases.
Keyboard only use.
Focus highlighting not working.
Brick wall meets head.
Eventually got focus working.
Next up keyboard not clicking.

My favorite find of the day so far!
This Doctor Who "Gallifreyan Academy" pitch is actually so well done that I almost wish it were real.
What’s the best April Fools' joke you’ve spotted today? Drop the links!

VR UI Brainstorming on my break at work 🥽.
Thinking of a wrist based messaging system.
Spatial audio comic style bubbles.
Whether to billboard or not? Should the bubbles always face the player or stay fixed to the wrist?
What do you think? 💬
