@juancarlospaco this is easily done on your own system, not in a PKGBUILD, given that building packages runs as root:

sudo groupadd unrealengine-users
sudo usermod -aG unrealengine-users (your-username)
sudo chown -R root:unrealengine-users /opt/unreal-engine
sudo chmod -R 775 /opt/unreal-engine

Permission issues like this are already mentioned on the UE Arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unreal_Engine_4#Installing_from_the_AUR

This is a user system problem; I already did what I could without needing users to do the above by giving the 777 permissions. If it still gives you trouble, you'll have to use the example to solve it or change the install location to somewhere you have user permissions by default (as I cannot do this for you).

Will update to 5.0 when it is released.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/packettracer Uses a pre built binary that has to be downloaded by the user, maybe something like that could work here. It would require the user to download the package manually. But I would gladly do that over the four hour build time.

I'm considering that but it's both behind a login screen (1st blocker from working with a PKGBUILD) and their login page isn't even working for me. :)

Even if I could login, we wouldn't be getting those download links without authentication that PKGBUILDs can't provide.

A prebuilt version of 5.0.3 just got released at https://www.unrealengine.com/linux

Would be cool to have an unreal-engine-bin package as well now.

@Neko-san Thanks for the quick response! That puts it in perspective. Thanks for packaging this, anyways.

I actually don't have the storage space to even compile UE5 right now Lol; haven't been able to for a while

As for reporting that issue, unfortunately Epic makes this unbearably difficult to do. They have a bug report page that historically doesn't work and their only fallback is a forum they direct users to that they barely pay attention to, if at all.

This is one of the main reasons for my love-hate relationship with Unreal, and I totally understand the frustration of not being able to communicate simple problems with Epic whilst they make little to no effort to remedy that. :)

@Neko-san It's still there after building 5.0.3. So, I guess you're not experiencing it. It's kinda maddening. I'm not sure if there's a way to report it.

Edit: Actually it's more inconsistent now. The controls on the crash dialog are properly aligned.

In this version and in the previous one, trying to open/edit a new IK Rig crashes 100% of the time. So, I'm glad the buttons on the crash dialog work.

@saburouta I updated the package to 5.0.3; what you described is probably an upstream issue, so hopefully 5.0.3 fixes it

saburouta commented on 2022-07-14 20:30 (UTC)

Is anyone else having the issue that all clickable controls activate from an area that is a few hundred pixels below the actual control?

This affects the entire UI - even the launcher.
