  • No Unreal Plugin please help
    1 project | /r/Houdini | 29 Dec 2022
    I used the version on Github, unzip it and put it in C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins\Runtime or on Mac: /Applications/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Runtime. In Houdini Engine settings I set the session type to TCP Socket and set the Houdini Executable to Houdini Indie (not sure this was necessary). I wasn't able to create a reliable connection to Houdini - it would connect but after a while it would disconnect and I wasn't able to reconnect again. So what I did was start Houdini Indie and went to Windows > Houdini Engine Session Sync, set the drop down to TCP Port and press Start and then in Houdini Engine, create a session. Session sync is an extra feature that I didn't make use of but I couldn't find another way to restart the Houdini server.
  • UE5.1 "Always load last project on startup" glitch, unable to load Unreal Engine due to plugin I can't install, locked out of Unreal Engine
    1 project | /r/unrealengine | 23 Nov 2022
    Just installed UE5.1 and converted my current project. Problem is, it relies on the HoudiniEngine plugin which I can't seem to install on UE5.1. This plugin works fine under 5.0, I've followed the install steps on their Github page by copying the HoudiniEngine directory to D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins\HoudiniEngine, but UE5.1 keeps telling me "Houdini Engine failed to load", then closes.

  • Any luck installing Houdini Engine for UE5 for version 19.0 of Houdini?

    Was very confusing to figure out where to get the H19 + UE5 branch. You'll need to compile with this branch

  • Plugin failed to load module DiscordRpc
    1 project | /r/unrealengine | 14 Apr 2023
    Does anyone know how to fix this error? I installed DiscordRpc from here: https://github.com/LouisRaverdy/DiscordRPC and used this tutorial to set it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXffNXd2vFU. I am new to Unreal and have no idea how to fix it. The game will run the startup videos but the error message will overlay it. There are 3 messages that appear, one saying that the module could not be loaded, another saying there was some assertion error, and the last being just a message with the text "Fatal Error" (https://imgur.com/a/Y3p7V4y). Should note that this error only happens when I run the game after it was compiled, in the editor it works fine, even the discord presenes.
