Project Setup

  1. Open your Unreal Engine project, go into “Edit” and open the Plugins tab

  2. Then, type “JSON” and enable the JSON Blueprint Utilities plugin (do not restart right now)

  3. Then, type “File Utilities” and enable the Blueprint File Utilities plugin (do not restart either)

  4. Once this is done, go again into “Edit” and open the Project Settings tab

  5. Type “enable user” and make sure the box besides the Enable User Settings option is checked (true)

  6. Then, type “render focus” and select Never in the dropdown for the Render Focus Rule option

  7. Then inside the Rendering category (Under Engine), make sure Lumen is enabled and check Support Hardware Ray Tracing
    This setting is not necessary but if you don't enable it, the "Hardware Ray-Tracing Lumen" toggle option won't work in the options menu

  8. (Optional) Search “flush keys” and make sure the Should Flush Pressed Keys on Viewport Focus Lost option is unchecked (false)
    Disabling this should result in a better responsiveness of the UI with keyboard inputs

  9. You can now close Unreal Engine and proceed to the next section
