This is a large update to Cine Tracer 2. We have upgraded from Unreal Engine 5.2 to Unreal Engine 5.4.2. This may cause some unexpected issues, please let us know via YouTube/Instagram if you have trouble opening/using this new version.

You can revert to Cine Tracer 0.6.3 by using a Steam Beta Branch.


Known Bugs:
- MacOS, Meta Actor Grooms literally explode. This is a known UE 5.4 issue that will hopefully be resolved in the future. We will give Meta Actors alternative hair in the next update.

Possible Issues
- UE 5.4 changed how packaging works and a CTUserSettings.sav file was not packaged with this release. This may cause issues again.

New Navigation and Selection Controls
- To Switch between First Person and Editor is now [ Y ]
- To move in Editor Mode, you must hold Right Mouse Button down.
- To move up and down in Editor you now press [ Q ] [ E ]. This is the UE5 Editor / Fortnite key bind.
- Selection now works "normally" where selecting an "Unmovable object" like the ground or sky will deselect.
- Escape is now "Deselect" and then Menu.
- To add to selection / multi-select you must hold [ Left Shift ]

Location Maps
- There is a new "Grid" map with the new Time of Day and Weather system.
- There is a new "Park" test map. There is a lot of foliage and it may be too heavy to run on some systems.
- There are new "Foliage" assets in the inventory.

With the update to Unreal Engine 5.4.2 (despite the Groom issues) this should stabilize the builds. The focus is now to work on bugs/UX/UI of the existing systems and to add more content like lights, building assets, clothing, and pre-built locations and maps.

Cheers,

Matt
