This project is an SDK for Unreal Engine that wraps different Sentry's SDKs for both desktop and mobile. Also, it has a stable support for the Unreal Engine crash reporter.
The SDK can be downloaded from the Releases page, which also lists the changelog of every version, or from the UE Marketplace page via Epic Games launcher.
If manual download from the Releases page is a preferred way for plugin integration using the package with the github suffix in its name is recommended.
The SDK currently supports and is tested on the following platforms:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
- Android
- iOS
The SDK compiles with three latest engine versions.

-
On all platforms captured crashes are uploaded to Sentry only after relaunching the crashed app since the in-process handler cannot do this within the same session. The only exceptions are Windows (if using the GitHub package) and Linux for which the out-of-process crashpad handler is used and crashes are uploaded immediately.
-
To automatically capture crashes in Windows game builds that were made using engine versions prior to UE 5.2, the Crash Reporter has to be configured first.
-
Using UGS binaries requires tagging of files to ensure the crashpad_handler.exe is present. For inclusion in build graph, you'd want something like this:
<Tag Files="#EditorBinaries$(EditorPlatform)" Filter="*.target" With="#TargetReceipts"/>
<TagReceipt Files="#TargetReceipts" RuntimeDependencies="true" With="#RuntimeDependencies"/>
<Tag Files="#RuntimeDependencies" Filter="sentry.dll;crashpad_handler.exe" With="#BinariesToArchive$(EditorPlatform)"/>
-
In UE 5.2 or newer game log attached to crashes captured with
sentry-nativeintegration instead of crash reporter could be truncated. This is caused by currentcrashpadbehavior which sends crashes to Sentry right away while UE is still about to write some bits of information to the log file. -
Only crash events captured on Android contain the full callstack. Events that were captured manually won't have the native C++ part there.
-
On Windows/Linux if crash event was captured during the garbage collection the
BeforeSendHandlerwill not be invoked. -
It may be required to upgrade the C++ standard library (
libstdc++) on older Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04) to ensure crashpad handler proper functionality within the deployment environment. This can be achieved with something like this:
sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++6
- Plugin supports Linux arm64 platform for UE 5.0 and newer.
