@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).

@zerophase I can't open your link, can you paste here or give another link?

This is enough to recreate the Unreal startup issue if you want to track down where in their version of SDL2 everything breaks.

The SDL2 being used by Unreal has issues with being initialized properly. I tried getting their step into third party code working on Linux to no Avail. It has something to do with SDL2 not being able to detect the proper video settings.

I tried filling a bug report with Epic, and got an email response saying, "works as intended."

Found a working workaround for the freezing issue!

thx to thejustinwalsh in Unrealforum.

Works in 4.24.1-release

in LinuxApplication.cpp at line 54-56:

commenting out:

check(InitializedSubsystems & SDL_INIT_JOYSTICK);

check(InitializedSubsystems & SDL_INIT_GAMECONTROLLER);

check(InitializedSubsystems & SDL_INIT_HAPTIC);

in LinuxPlatformApplicationMisc.cpp line 287:

change:

if (SDL_Init((SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING ^ SDL_INIT_AUDIO) | SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE) != 0)

to:

if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_TIMER | SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_EVENTS | SDL_INIT_NOPARACHUTE) != 0)

compile

run

done.

@Shatur So its seams limited to the 1070. Good to know. :-|

Shatur commented on 2020-01-05 14:17 (UTC)

@Slasher006, @niqingliang2003, very strange, I also use KDE with Nvidia, but everything works as it should.

@niqingliang2003 No patch yet. I am trying to get that workaround running. No luck so far :-|
