v2024.2

Updates

• Profiling support will no longer be enabled in Test configuration as it utilized functionality not available there

Breaking Changes

• Deprecated version of GetTermsOfUseAsync has been removed

v2024.1

NOTE: This release, and all future releases, will no longer support UE 4.2x-5.0 . Please use the 2023.11 release if you wish to use the mod.io plugin on an older version of the engine.

Updates

• Unreal 5.3 Support
• UI Improvements
• NativeSDK updated to 2024.1 release

Breaking Changes

• UE4 content and code removed due to deprecation

v2023.11

Updates

• Stability and performance improvements for the UI

Deprecations

With this release we are stopping active development of our plugin for Unreal Engine versions 4.26, 4.27, and 5.0.
Developers are still able to use our plugin on these versions of Unreal Engine, but no further features will be added.

v2023.8

New Features

• Early Access Unreal 5-compatible Mod Browser using CommonUI

  • If you are using the Git repository directly, to configure the the Mod Browser for Unreal 5, please follow the steps at the bottom of these release notes.

• Support for invoking RunPendingHandlers in a background thread

  • Please see the Getting Started documentation for information about configuring this feature.

Updates

• Fix errors not correctly showing in the UE4 UI email auth code dialog
• Fixed mod logos in UE4 UI carousels showing at the wrong resolution after navigating into the mod details page
• Improvements to how the UE4 UI displays on widescreen and high resolution screens
• Added missing XBox controller glyphs
• Various controller and keyboard navigation and focus improvements for the UE4 UI

Breaking Changes

• UModioUISubsystem has now been split into two different subsystems: UModioUISubsystem is a subsystem shared between the UE4 and UE5 UI modules, with the UE4-specific code refactored into a new subsystem called UModioUI4Subsystem. If you are calling any UE4-specific UI methods, you will need to update these to use UModioUI4Subsystem instead.
• This plugin now includes configuration files and binary assets for both Unreal 4 and Unreal 5 versions of the Mod Browser.

In the current release the Git repository is preconfigured to use the Unreal 4 Mod Browser. This will change to Unreal 5 in a future release.

If you are using the Git repository directly in your project, to configure the Mod Browser for the desired version of the engine, perform the following steps:

• Unreal Engine 4
  • Delete Content/UI5 directory
  • Copy Extra/UE4UI/modio.uplugin to the root of the plugin, overwriting the existing file
• Unreal Engine 5
  • Copy Extra/UE5UI/modio.uplugin to the root of the plugin, overwriting the existing file

Standalone, preconfigured archives for both UE4 and UE5 are included in this release below.

Bugfixes

• Fix a crash on Linux if a malformed response creates an image that can't be loaded by the UI

Breaking Changes

• A file transfer that is starting, but relies on a REST API call to begin reporting progress (for example, a file transfer that requires us to fetch the file size before we start downloading) will now result in a FModioModProgressInfo object being returned with a state of Initializing. Previously, the Plugin simply wouldn't report a transfer in progress until the size of the transfer had been calculated and data transfer actually started.
