CRYENGINE 5.6.3

Known Issues
  • Oculus VR Plugin cannot be compiled with Visual Studio 2019 v16.3.0.
  • Starting a C++ Plugin only project in Editor/Game Launcher causes a crash.
  • Drag and dropping brushes or entities with children into another layer crashes the Editor.
  • Turning on the "Ambient" light option for the Point Light entity component triggers asserts and sometimes causes crashes.

Animation

  • Optimized: The attached characters cache to only update when attachments change.
  • Fixed: An issue with the max view distance render node property (not being propagated through attachment hierarchies).

AI

  • Fixed: Saving the level and generating an environment probe, triggers an assertion failure (NavigationSystem.cpp L 1172) and a warning which will pop up endlessly (Editor background thread is still running) making the Editor unusable.

Audio

  • Tweaked: Updated to Wwise SDK v2019.1.4.

Core/System

  • Fixed: Work around for compiler error with rsqrt_fast in VS 2019 16.3.
  • Fixed: Compiler error with if_else_zero. if_else and if_else_zero are now overloaded to optimally use int or float version of SSE "and" intrinsic.

Default Entities

  • Fixed: Added missing include for RoomscaleCamera.

CMake

  • Fixed: Disabled Oculus VR plugin when using VS2019 16.3.0 (due to compilation issue)
  • Tweaked: Fix Oculus VR plugin version check and comments.

Core Systems

  • Tweaked: Build error when using MSVCs Edit And Continue feature.

Graphics and Rendering

  • Optimized: (Particles) Removed ILINE on huge SNoise and other functions.

Sandbox

  • Fixed: (EE) Unable to switch between presets open in two docked EE instances.

Plugins and Projects

  • Fixed: The player entity is not correctly spawned when loading subsequent levels in the Sandbox.
