Description:
Embark on a journey into the realm of Unreal Engine optimization with our comprehensive CZcams tutorial. Discover advanced techniques for optimizing RAM usage through the strategic implementation of both soft and hard referencing. Whether you're a seasoned game developer or new to Unreal Engine, this tutorial offers invaluable insights to elevate your project's performance.
🚀 Key Topics Explored:
1️⃣ Understanding RAM Usage: Develop a solid comprehension of how Unreal Engine utilizes RAM and why efficient memory management is paramount for optimal performance.
2️⃣ Soft Referencing Mastery: Learn the art of soft referencing to intelligently manage asset loading and unloading. This ensures that only essential assets remain in memory, dynamically loading others as needed to optimize overall performance.
3️⃣ Hard Referencing Strategies: Explore the concept of hard referencing and discover techniques to prioritize critical assets by keeping them loaded throughout gameplay. This prevents unnecessary loading delays and enhances the user experience.
4️⃣ Profiler Tools Utilization: Dive into Unreal Engine's profiler tools to identify memory-intensive elements and analyze their impact on performance. Gain the knowledge to make informed optimization decisions for your project.
5️⃣ Case Studies and Real-World Examples: Walk through practical examples and case studies that demonstrate the application of soft and hard referencing in various scenarios, providing hands-on experience for effective implementation.

Very good video to introduce ppl to hard/soft references! Great job! Getting rid of hard references is actually a must practice for commercial projects.
One thing I'd like to point out, Async tasks are not actually slow, the problem with them, or rather a thing to take into consideration, is that the resource loading starts when the task is called, which may take a number of frames instead of immediate result. And the clock icon means exactly, that it's an Async action, so it cannot be called from inside the blueprint functions, but only from the event graph.

Thank you my friend

[@KB-kp2oz]

No. The clock doesn't specifically mean it's an async operation. Clocks exists on delays and many other nodes. Are you saying a delay node is an async operation? Of course you are, you just said the clock means it's async. No. It just means its a timed execution. Go read some more Unreal docs if you know how to read.

This is a very good video :-) Thanks for all the information!

[@UnrealDystopia]

You are welcome 😁

You need to toggle the "Size to Display" option in the Size Map from *Disk* to *CPU/Memory*.
The data you're displaying in this video is an inaccurate reference for Memory Usage.

Thanks for you contribution

​@@UnrealDystopiasince the commenter didn't tell you why because they probably don't know exactly why they just know it works I'm going to tell you why they said what they said. Disk is just going to show you how large your project is on disc. How much space on disk is being used by your project assets, which can be compressed. CPU memory is showing you the memory that's actually loaded in your project. Uncompressed. Run time.
This is why you use the CPU memory for the situation that you're displaying.

bro what version ue is this?

[@UnrealDystopia]

unreal engine 4 but works fin on unreal engine 5
