[4.7.3] Ocean material not rendering (4.7.2 is fine)

Development Rendering

After migrating our project to 4.7.3 our ocean-material is not longer rendering.
We’re using A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums and it worked fine with 4.7.2.
As you can see in the attached screenshots. Any ideas?

We have an presentation next week and now sweating a bit …

Hey vOwl -

Unfortunately you would need to contact Vladimir Alyamkin, the plug-in’s author about any problems related to the implementation and functioning of the plug-in itself. If time is a concern though I would suggest getting the 4.7.2 Build of the Engine from GitHub, https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/tag/4.7.2-release

Thank You

Thanks for your fast answer. I’m with you that the bug may be plugin-related.

Up to now i understood patch-releases (like 4.7.2 to 4.7.3) won’t add or remove any functions or features, just fixing bugs!?? (That’s the reason i’m wondering about the effect you see above.)

Hi -

That assumption is correct, hot fixes are released only with bug fixes; however, since we did not develop the plug in, we are not able to test whether a particular bug fix would break this particular plug-in. It is up to the plug-in developers to ■■■■■ and manage their plug-ins for future engine versions.

Thank You
