CRYENGINE 5.6.2

Known Issues
  • When loading a second level in a template project, the player will not spawn when entering game mode until the Sandbox is restarted.
  • Drag and dropping entities with children into another layer crashes the Editor.
  • Starting a C++-Plugin-only project in Editor/Game Launcher causes a crash.
  • Turning on the "Ambient" light option for the Point Light entity component triggers asserts and sometimes causes crashes.
  • Using Edit and Continue on any project causes compilation error.

Animation

  • Fixed: Updated the public ICharacter::FinishAnimationComputations() method to also process Parent Character instances along the attachment hierarchy (in order to mitigate sync ordering issues).
  • Fixed: Addressed a change that was missing from an earlier submission.
  • Tweaked: Introduced an emergency cleanup step in COperatorQueue to mitigate issues with operations being accumulated over multiple frames when the Pose Modifier is not being executed (for example due to animation update culling).

AI

  • Fixed: Terrain holes in Game Launcher.
  • Fixed: Memory corruption in Terrain Load.
  • Fixed: Additional fix to avoid invalid permanent render object submission in Terrain Nodes.

Particles

  • Fixed: Use proper shader aliases to get relevant shader flags. Also tweaked debug colors.
  • Fixed: Mark effect modified - when adding or connecting nodes in graph view (fixes "Save As" issue).

Physics

  • Tweaked: Physics worker threads were not respecting the thread to fully finish prior to re-creating it.

Project System

  • Fixed: Cannot start from generated proxy projects due to missing path separator in the Visual Studio debugger command.
  • Fixed: Guard against encoding error issues on certain systems from non-English locales when registering the Engine.
  • Fixed: (CryVersionSelect) Update and fixes on cryengine.cryengine.
  • Fixed: Package Build of template projects fail due to Project Manager serializing GUID in project json even if not applicable.

Sandbox

  • Fixed: Issue where if a window's minimum size was larger than it's maximum size (when resizing it from the left) it would actually move the window.
  • Fixed: Undocking a collection of tabs will make the menu button invisible.
  • Fixed: Resizing the tool in a floating state leads to flickering.
  • Fixed: Importing models with multi submaterials (via FBX) switches the ID positions.
  • Fixed: Notification pop-ups from showing up during startup (due to them behaving erratically, since not everything is fully constructed and the layouts finalized).
