Why this engine is called Unreal?

Is this because engine developers hope that all of those crazy bugs are not REAL? so they call this engine UNREAL?

Epic, this user is onto you. Cracked the code, this one.

Thank you so much for your serious answer, I believe that the game you described should be a good game.

Simple, there is a game made by epic games and the game’s name is ‘Unreal’. So they started developing this engine with that game. Then they call it Unreal Engine.

I believe that the game you described
should be a good game.

You’re not serious, are you? It’s a 20 year old game… But yeah, it was awesome. Stating the obvious here, but your topic clearly indicates you’ve got beef with the engine’s bugs. Sure, there are plenty of bugs for everyone, just like in every other games engine.

You have an issue with a bug, post about it. No need for name calling.

You are right, I am sorry about that.

No worries, if something bothers you in particular, just ask here and in the forums. Many workarounds exist for the bugs in current version and 4.21 is just around the corner.

There’s usually a slew of bug fixes in major releases. Hold on tight and don’t give up.

Thank you for your advice.
The previous problem has been solved, I deleted the Intermediate folder (and then regenerated the VS files) in order to solve another problem(solutions from google). this caused the project to fail to compile. I tried Google but did not solve it. Because I have been writing for about 2 months. it is very troublesome to rewrite a new one, this makes me fell so bad to raise this question.
I should be more understanding and patient, as you said, everyone makes mistakes, especially a large team with large amount of people. Thank you very much for your earnest answer(Indeed, this is the only answer I got). I have learned a very important lesson and will be more mature and calm attitude to any problem I meet.
I am not joking on Yusuf’s answer, my English is not good enough to express exactly what I want to say, maybe I should use earnest instead of serious, and " I believe that the game you described should be a good game" means exactly I believe that may be a good game.
In Chinese, I wan’t to say, 很感谢你认真的回答, 我相信你说的游戏应该是个好游戏吧(但是游戏引擎确实很不易用). it’s not a mock word.
I should post my problem even if no one answers, better than make fun of engine name, witch has no meaning with the problem.
You are a gentleman, kind and helpful, appreciate you.

Because it is.

I have played unreal game long time ago, as i remember back then it was good and scary, i did like that game…
