Compilation error in Standalone Mode (UE 5.1.1, plugin V1.4.7)

[Nerwy]

Hello, I just added this plugin to my project but when I try to launch the game in Standalone Mode, I get these errors that cause the game to break: These issues do not seem to appear in PIE or packaged builds which is really strange.

Please share a full log file.

Sorry, forgot to attach it, here is it: XeSSIssue.log

[xessgamedev]

The reason should be your Blueprint referring XeSS Blueprint is loaded before XeSSBlueprint module is loaded, which is "PostEngineInit". You can try to load you Blueprint module later or load XeSSBlueprint module earlier.

[Nerwy]

This blueprint is called from the game instance in order to initialise the XeSS upscaler at game start, is there a way to force the plugin to load before everything else including the game instance? Even adding a delay inside the game instance before calling the function that contain the XeSS function does not work.

[xessgamedev]

You may try to edit XeSS.uplugin to set load phase of module XeSS and XeSSBlueprint to "PreDefault", then they will be loaded before UGameInstance::Init().

With this change the plugin does not block the load of anything else as expected but now the plugin itself does not work anymore because of this error:

EasyGameUI5_1_2.log

[xessgamedev]

Sorry, you're right. FSceneViewExtensions::RegisterExtension requires GEngine to be assigned, which is done in FEngineLoop::Init(), let me check any other solution.

[xessgamedev]

Please try TempFix.zip, just replace the same files. NOTE: it is a temp fix for testing only, the final solution may change in the next public release. TempFix.zip

Thank you for checking it out. Unfortunately this does not seem to work as now the engine crash on startup

[xessgamedev]

It seems that the plugin source or binary is not updated, please help to confirm if the files are replaced and plugin binaries re-built.

[Nerwy]

I just rebuilt the plugin with the fix and it does indeed work, thank you for the assistance. Are you planning to add this fix to an official build anytime soon?

[xessgamedev]

Yes, definitely, and together with other bug fixes and new features. Thank you for reporting and helping to verify.
