Updates

• Stability and performance improvements for the UI

Deprecations

With this release we are stopping active development of our plugin for Unreal Engine versions 4.26, 4.27, and 5.0.

v2023.8

New Features

• Early Access Unreal 5-compatible Mod Browser using CommonUI

  • If you are using the Git repository directly, to configure the the Mod Browser for Unreal 5, please follow the steps at the bottom of these release notes.

• Support for invoking RunPendingHandlers in a background thread

  • Please see the Getting Started documentation for information about configuring this feature.

Updates

• Fix errors not correctly showing in the UE4 UI email auth code dialog
• Fixed mod logos in UE4 UI carousels showing at the wrong resolution after navigating into the mod details page
• Improvements to how the UE4 UI displays on widescreen and high resolution screens
• Added missing XBox controller glyphs
• Various controller and keyboard navigation and focus improvements for the UE4 UI

Breaking Changes

• UModioUISubsystem has now been split into two different subsystems: UModioUISubsystem is a subsystem shared between the UE4 and UE5 UI modules, with the UE4-specific code refactored into a new subsystem called UModioUI4Subsystem. If you are calling any UE4-specific UI methods, you will need to update these to use UModioUI4Subsystem instead.
• This plugin now includes configuration files and binary assets for both Unreal 4 and Unreal 5 versions of the Mod Browser.

In the current release the Git repository is preconfigured to use the Unreal 4 Mod Browser. This will change to Unreal 5 in a future release.

If you are using the Git repository directly in your project, to configure the Mod Browser for the desired version of the engine, perform the following steps:

• Unreal Engine 4
  • Delete Content/UI5 directory
  • Copy Extra/UE4UI/modio.uplugin to the root of the plugin, overwriting the existing file
• Unreal Engine 5
  • Copy Extra/UE5UI/modio.uplugin to the root of the plugin, overwriting the existing file

Standalone, preconfigured archives for both UE4 and UE5 are included in this release below.
