Is somewhere an Houdini plugin update for unreal 5.4? June 6, 2024, 7:55 p.m.

I was referring to the 20.0.688 - which didn't have 5.4 (as Epic released 5.4 the day before that production build).

As with every new version of Unreal, getting the plugin code to compile doesn't mean that everything in the plugin remains fully functional.
Epic changes a lot of things internally, which then causes issues and regressions in the plugin, which we then need to fix.

These issues are the reason why we didn't include the 5.4 plugin in 688 - but we fixed all of them a few days after.
The current 5.4 plugin that ships with the 20.0 daily/production build is fully functional.

Unity Plug-in not visible in installation options June 4, 2024, 11:51 a.m.

Hi,

Unfortunately, that is expected - as we're currently having issues with our Unity licenses.
Because of this - we were forced to remove the Unity plugin from the installer/launcher temporarily as we can no longer build the Unity plugin.

We've been in touch with Unity about this issue for a few weeks already - this seems to have been caused by a problem with their licensing system.
They finally found the problem and a solution for it, so hopefully, we'll be able to build the Unity plugin again in the coming days.

Our previous production build, H20.0.688 was the last build that still had the Unity plugin.

I'll be sure to post here once the plugin's back in the installer/launcher.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Support for UE5.4 was added in 20.0.689, so can't be retroactively added to a previous build.

See the changelogs [www.sidefx.com]

If you download any daily 20 build - you'll get the 5.4 plugin.
We purposefully removed the 5.4 plugin from the production build - Epic broke a ton of things with 5.4 - and we didn't want to ship a production build with an untested version of the plugin.

@isaac There won't be any new 19.5 production build - once a new version of Houdini is released, we generally stop doing production builds soon after (though we generally try to do a couple extra ones - but rarely more).
