Otherwise you get an error that makes no rational sense in code that’s written to suggest something else is wrong. In the end… you have to disable your Firewall. Which, if you’re developing via a from-source build of Unreal, you’ll be doing all the time. No version of the Editor and Lightmass is signed for Big Sur, so the Firewall automatically blocks all the traffic.Įven if you ‘enable network connections’ for them both, you have to restart both apps for it to ‘take’, and if you rebuild of the Editor it invalidates the ‘pass’.
How very clear.īut the thing is – and this is what took me many days to figure out – is that just because you can open the socket doesn’t mean you’ll get a response.įor example, if you have your firewall turned on, like it should be. Future versions of Unreal Engine will introduce direct support for M1 Macs, but in the meantime, you should expect a performance impact when running Unreal Editor on M1 Macs and newer. Instead, it relies on the Rosetta2 translator.
And sets the Recipient valid in the HandlePongMessage callback. As of late 2021, Unreal Editor does not support the ARM64 architecture used by M1 Macs and newer. And gets a response on the main thread. Which normally does a connect in the actual main thread. And is a lie, because to return that “established connection” only checks that the socket can be opened.
That bConnectionEstablished? Has nothing to do with Swarm. How did this ever work? What’s supposed to happen Except it wasn’t, it was a worker thread. What took me a while to understand is that was stating that the calling thread was named ‘GameThread’. But then it starts waiting for something with FTaskGraphInterface::Get().ProcessThreadUntilIdle(ENamedThreads::GameThread). So I think nothing of it when the Lightmass stuff times out after 60 seconds trying to do a network call that returns with checkf(bConnectionEstablished, TEXT("Tried to open a connection to Swarm, but failed")) īut then almost immediately, the Lightmass process dies with Assertion failed: CurrentThread = GetCurrentThread() ĭigging into that block of code… The Recipient isn’t valid, so in the worker thread it’s calling to Ping the MessageEndpoint. The documentation says Macs don’t support Swarm. I was working with 4.26, but the underlying code is unchanged through at least 4.27, and probably 5 as well. Not even the “direct from Epic Installer” version would work. I’m trying to work out why Lightmass refuses to run on my Big Sur Mac. So here’s something I just learned that might help the next person. Temporal Super Resolution shaders compile with 16bit types enabled on D3D12 that supports Shader Model 6.It’s super annoying that searching the internet doesn’t work for Unreal. Runs on any video card that supports Shader Model 5, but the limit of 8UAVs per shader has performance implications. Wow, I’m just getting into UE4 on a Mac, and this is disappointing to read. 789.ĭirectX 12 (with Shader Model 6.6 atomics), or Vulkan (VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64)
