My company has started logging time dealing with UE4 bugs. Widget bugs are a good 80% of reason my company is wasting money on bugs. 2d widgets on viewpoint seem to work fine. However our game is built for VR so we cant attach a HUD to players face, and 3d widgets are a joke. Even basic issues like How do I set the font size of the UMG ComboBox (String)? - UI - Epic Developer Community Forums have not been addressed in over a year. response of “widgets are marked experimental” is a joke. Widgets have been in development longer than some entire games are developed. If your game is VR and you haven’t put too much into UE4 quit now. Unless you dont need intractable menus and HUDs. If a part in a machine is broke, whole machine suffers. Call me a “bad guy” for wanting to fire someone, but my company and Im sure plenty more, are indirectly paying Epic for widget that are so bugged they’re not usable. My company has switched to touch actor with static meshes instead of UMG. It takes way more time and money, but at least they seem to work well. Its getting to point its offensive that Epic inst doing something about widgets. If you know C++ well and look at UMG code you want to blow your brains out. I could go on forever with examples of why I hate widgets I have my own post and read many more, but I’m confident Epic is aware of all of this. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
…not sure thats way to go unless you want you, and potentially your company to be blacklisted.
I understand frustration, but especially at times like that… its best to keep calm!
Hi Stunt ,
I’m sorry you’re having a hard time with 3D widgets. Right now it’s merely an experimental feature, and it’s being developed slowly over time. If you’d like to offer feedback, appropriate place to do that is in our Feedback for Epic section on forums.
In meantime, we appreciate time you take to report bugs you run into. You mention knowing C++ well; we made source code available, so you may get further editing source yourself. If you would like to submit any fixes/improvements to Epic, you can do so via a pull request on GitHub.
UE4 is free to use. You’re not required to submit anything to us, bug reports or otherwise. We have not received any payments from you. We do not offer royalties or payments for pull requests.
If your paying for a service that’s not provided are you happy?
Am I allowed to take royalties on bugs I fix? Because were paying Epic to develop non bugged Widgets with our future royalties. Its not our job to debug YOUR engine.
But its not free to use? When we release do we not owe you anything?
I am having issues with widget blueprint. Can’t even edit it in 4.10. I get this every time I try to edit it. UE4 crashes and I get this. So yeah it is buggy as all get out. I will have to revert back to 4.92 in order to keep working since I have yet to find any answers on this issue.

Hi Graywood,
Please create a new post with this information so we can address it and track it separately. Thanks!
Weeks later and its getting worse because now workarounds are broke. Nothing works for 3d widgets now. Epic is retarded for paying anyone for this crappy work.
