The most world-class game engine to date, Unreal Engine 4 gives you the power to do more than ever before. Bring your creative visions to life directly in game without programmer assistance via the new Unreal Blueprint.
Unreal Engine 4’s architecture offers fully dynamic lighting features, cutting down on development time and ensuring less iteration on creative ideas. With significant new visual features, Unreal Engine 4 enables you to achieve high-end visuals, while remaining both scalable and accessible to make games for low-spec PCs.
If you wish to add mod support to your UE4 game, we recommend the use of the Unreal Engine 4 Engine Mod Browser and Manager Plugin created by mod.io, which makes it easy to support UGC.
Tool highlights/features for developers include:
- Make updates directly in game without ever pausing gameplay with Hot Reload. This tool allows you to quickly find and edit C++ code and see those changes reflected immediately in game.
- After an update is made, Instant Game Preview gives you the power to spawn a player and play anywhere in game without needing to wait for files to save.
- The all-new Code View saves you time by allowing you to browse C++ functions directly on game characters then jump straight to source code lines in Visual Studio to make changes.
- Live Blueprint Debugging enables you to interactively visualize the flow of gameplay code while testing your game.
- Now you can quickly debug and update gameplay behaviors when they happen through the new Simulate Mode. This tool lets you run game logic in the editor viewport and inspect AI as the game characters perform actions.
- View your game in full-screen within the editing environment with the Immersive View tool. This allows programmers to complete iterations on gameplay changes without added UI clutter or distractions.
- Possess/Eject Features allow at any time while playing in editor to easily “eject” from the player and take control of the camera to inspect specific in-game objects that may not be behaving properly.

First lets start with the fixes.
FIXES
- Lighting on some of the levels.
- AI going though the islands on Spainish invasion.
- Extras cannons no longer fire if you dont have them.
- Laser grid start time.
- Player scores are stored for a short time if you lose connection or quit.
- No more flying everywhere when you get hit due to a new hit system.
- Added a glowing orb above player ships in Space invasion (Wave mode)
- Much more I'd be here all day listing them.
Gardor - The great Icewall has been redesigned.
Ok now for the good stuff.
NEW
NON-VR
You can now play with Non-VR players, they do have limits. ie - Can only carry 1 weapon, also cant throw the swords or shields. Climbing can be difficult (but all part of the fun).
Every Gamemode is playable in Non-VR using either a controller or keyboard and mouse. (No keybinding yet but will be added in the future.)
Non-VR player hud.
PLAYER MODELS
New player models have been added to make customizing your character easier. (Will more than likely be changed again, as those are assets from the store and everyone seems to use them.)
Player Animations well makes sense now that you have legs and arms. (Still need's work in places.)
New player hands (just 100X better than the old ones.) (No gestures other than pointing but more will be added.)
MAIN MENU AND LOBBIES
Lobbies and Main Screen has been redesigned.
Done a whole redesign of the main menu which has the character shop, level shop and customizing the player. Yes you can customise your character in the lobbies aswell.
Added a quick join button so you can get straight to the action. Or if no games are found will create a Quick match lobby where voting is key.
Added a Mini-game to the lobbies while you wait for other players or beat the Hosts score. Even a piano so the VR players can play you some songs while you wait.
CHALLENGES
Challenges have been added to the main menu with challenges that last a day, a week or a month. All with Rewards once completed. (More will be added. ideas?)
GAMEMODES
Tanks - Fight in armoured combat on the new large scale map Farmland. Found in battleships gamemode.
Spaceships - Fly around the new map Asteroids while trying to destroy the other players. Also found in battleships gamemode. (Very fast movment).
Rumble / Rumble Squads - Players now drop items on death. (Health / Ammo refill etc) (maybe even weapons??)
New Map - WarZone
Waves - Few tweaks some nice surprise's for you to discover.

Hi, people! I'm just leaving this here - Answers.unrealengine.com
It's a feature request for UE4 developers. If someone have similar problem, or just wanna help to add this feature to new version of engine - please vote.
Thanks.
P.S. IT'S NOT A SPAM, if you just don't care - never mind this link - it's only for developers.
Thanks kylo ren
Why not just use a component?
Objects are not Actors, it's just a generic classes, which don't have any components (if I correctly understand your question.)
Unreal Engine 4 is powerful, user-friendly, and doesn't require high programming skill. I create art and game design, nodes help me with programming, and all sound/music licences can be easily purchased. I can develop my game by myself :)
I completely agree.
UE4 - good dev software.
Hey, problem, is there any way to port maps from the Source Engine to Unreal Engine 4?
Can you port them to a 3D modeling program if you can just import it from there.
