Common Issues to Watch For

• Crashes, soft-locks, hangs when launching Editor.exe or adding a component.
• When a component settings value is changed, it has a visual impact on the level.
  • The change can be subtle, but if no change is present log an issue

Workflows

  • Move the view around in the level and observe how Eye Adaptation adjusts the exposure when looking at a bright light
