UE5 official release

[Rwanlink]

Everything was working well with UE5 Preview 1 and Preview 2 but with the official release today, Unreal is not able to open kawaii Physics anymore. Anyone got an idea?

Hi there, I'm no coder but you can recompile the UE5 Preview 2 version to work in 5 until the official one gets an update :)

so first you need to have .Net core 3.1 (Direct Download Link) and to have the plugin somewhere on your PC where you can access it

Once dotNet is installed restart your PC and open up command prompt type in cd C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0\Engine\Build\BatchFiles (or wherever your unreal is installed) then RunUAT.bat BuildPlugin -plugin="C:\Users**yourPCnamehere\WhereYourPluginIsLocated\KawaiiPhysicsUE5Preview-main\Plugins\KawaiiPhysics\KawaiiPhysics.uplugin" -Package="C:\Users\yourPCnamehere\WhereYourPluginIsLocated\KawaiiPhysicsUE5Preview-main\Plugins\newfoldername**"

so mine personally looks like this

RunUAT.bat BuildPlugin -plugin="C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\KawaiiPhysicsUE5Preview-main\Plugins\KawaiiPhysics\KawaiiPhysics.uplugin" -Package="C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\KawaiiPhysicsUE5Preview-main\Plugins\Kawaii500"

then just place the newly generated plugin into your project and it should work

if that doesn't make any sense check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC0gnfYzFzU

good luck!
