@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).

@Neko-san _WithDDC is set in the script, not an environmental variable, for example. I'm talking about AUR_UNREALENGINE_USE_FANCY_ICON set in /etc/environment, stuff like that. ;) I wish we could save choices per AUR...like that, easily anyway.

Neko-san commented on 2023-06-21 20:51 (UTC)

@OdinVex Technically, if I make it a switch it does check for that switch as an environment variable; albiet, I'd have to set a check to see if it's already defined first but, yeah, I can do that

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-21 20:47 (UTC)

@Neko-san Absolutely offering it, I sent it to you. Perhaps a boolean variable (environmental? who edits build files each upgrade?) for official vs. custom.

Neko-san commented on 2023-06-21 20:43 (UTC) (edited on 2023-06-21 20:45 (UTC) by Neko-san)

@OdinVex Sure, I'll at add it

EDIT: If you're still offering, since I see you've deleted your comment

Neko-san commented on 2023-06-21 17:04 (UTC)

@OdinVex If you can even find the official icon in the repo (which used to be there) then, by all means, tell me how you modified it. Without that, I can't tell the desktop file to use it.

OdinVex commented on 2023-06-21 14:23 (UTC)

I'd like an option to toggle using the non-official icon off (default true is fine). It just clashes, so I keep having to modify the script. A simple bool would be easier. :]

Removing xf86-video-amdgpu and adding IgnorePkg = xf86-video-amdgpu to /etc/pacman.conf and reboot fixed the problem of Vulkan for me (its known to cause problems with video/3D/Games, I dont have AMD GPU but AMD APU but still).

If you still have problems/crashes, also I added IgnorePkg = lib32-nvidia-utils libvdpau libxnvctrl nvidia nvidia-dkms nvidia-settings nvidia-utils opencl-nvidia to /etc/pacman.conf because for some reason it crashes or gets unstable if nvidia drivers change (I have to re-build UE5 if nvidia driver upgrades).

Make sure intel-vulkan is installed; your CPU does support Vulkan but either:

  • you are missing the Intel-specific Vulkan driver,

  • there's a bug in UE5's Vulkan code for handling your hardware (somehow),

  • or your specific integrated GPU in your Intel processor may not support a minimum Vulkan version required for UE5 to function (yours supports up to Vulkan 1.2, from what I've been able to gather)

@Neko-san it's just a Dell XPS 13 Laptop (so v.low spec for 3D):
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz
- Intel Corporation Iris Plus Graphics G7 (rev 07)

And vulkan-icd-loader is installed.

Note: I'm currently exploring how to fix the issue via the forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2101341#p2101341
