Greetings. I have run "build.cmd all" command on clean repo and it built and packaged all artifacts successfully. I've tested only on Visual Studio. Generating solution for Visual Studio also works as intended. |

Hi Ravgni, To run them, you can use pytest. In particular, could you run the following tests?: If you want, you can also try running all the tests, although it's not necessary, with "pytest .". |

Hi Ravgni, Thank you for fixing the upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.6. I am currently working with the following setup:
I've been experiencing significant stuttering while using the Blocks project, an issue I did not encounter with UE5.2. Have you encountered similar issues, or is this specific to my setup? |
|
Hi hiradg, |
|
Thank you, Ravgni. I have decided to use the same version of MSVC 14.44 to build the project for UE5.6 as a sanity check. However, I am experiencing significant stuttering with the Python client examples. I will investigate this further to see how we can achieve similar performance to the UE5.2 release. |

This is a bad solution because it no longer works with previous versions. I've suggested the following solutions, but for some reason it's not showing up. |
|
What you are proposing is also not ideal, because you have to paint every change in this pull request with #ifdef. To clarify further - all changes in this pull request are fixing compilation errors, it is not some enhancement or refactoring from my side. It's plain fixing build errors on recent UE versions. And I guess it is up to maintainer to make a decision how they want to support different versions of UE - making branch per version, create releases/tags, or just updating main branch and saying everything older than this particular version is deprecated and no longer supported. |
