UE4 - TEXTURE STREAMING POOL - PERMANENT FIX TUTORIAL

[@n1lknarf]

Keep in mind you will demand more memory space for textures from your users, in case you are making a usable app or game. If they have 16gb ram for example, and you set your texture pool to 3000mb, you will be taking 3gb of the ram just for textures.

[@OneUpGameDev]

Yeah.

[@charlesalexanderable]

On PC it will adjust the pool size in shipping builds dynamically according to GPU memory anyway.

[@AL3DStudio]

How did you log into your console? Thanks

[@WowPlusWow]

@@charlesalexanderable Meaning that it will take a little less ram memory in shipping builds?

[@AL3DStudio]

Press the tilde "~" key ... it shows up and changes to different views based on each press and then eventually hides again.

One of the shortest most valuable tips on KZbin! Very many thanks!

[@OneUpGameDev]

Thanks for the feedback 😄 Glad it helped you.

[@Stallagmite]

Thank you!!! So good to find this after all the bandaid tutorials that don't really fix the problem.

[@meagainokay7673]

I'm a beginner to UE4 and this was so helpful thank you! I set mine to 2000 and it works great, and that's using the Infinity Blade Ice Lands map!!! Thumbs up already clicked:-)

Glad it helped you :)

[@metafuel]

Thank you very much for this. I keep coming back here each time I install a new version of UE. Appreciated thank you.

he realizado esto y al reabrir mi proyecto me sale un eror con la linea 254 del RenderGraphValidation.cpp (..\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\RenderGraphValidation.cpp), pero lo he hecho con un comando, estoy utilizando Unreal Engine 5 Early Access 1, saben como se puede solucionar?

[@OneUpGameDev]

Lo siento, no sé español, he intentado transmitir mi mensaje con Google Translate. Todavía no he probado esta misma solución en Unreal Engine 5. Así que, lamentablemente, no puedo ayudarte en eso.

[@zimai]

May I ask if the set 5000 refers to the memory capacity? Because I will set this, it is my colleague who said that the quality of my pictures is too high, and the computer of the other party shows that the memory is crashed after packaging.

For the exportation, it will works also ? I mean with my game, when I want to change the quality of the graphics, some textures become black, and I need each time to relaunch the level to get the final result ! By the way, some of my players had a problem with poor machine, textures, even in high quality stay blur ! what the problem comes from ? not enough memory ?? do I need reduce the dimension of my textures ?... big thanks....

[@JC00PER-08]

I’m trying to add a texture to a small part of the model but it adds the texture to the whole model how do I fix it?

[@HarqoGames]

1:05 Can someone explain to me what he says at this point? I'm sorry, I do not understand the accent. It sounds like "turtle key."

[@ammaralammouri1270]

Thanks for that , really appreciate it, i have two 2080 ti video cards with nvilink , what do u recommend i should put my pool size for really big architecxtural scene !

[@OneUpGameDev]

Glad you liked it. This setting is more to do with the project. Like I mentioned in the video, you need to see how much memory your project needs or is currently using and adjust your poolsize accordingly.

[@saadiewaadie]

I'm trying to adjust texture streaming pool/maxtempmemoryallowed for an existing game with upscaled texture mods (that had bad texture streaming issues leading to stutters). Is there a way to figure out what texture pool size is needed by the game? Currently doing by trial and error - and where I'm having success in one level, on other levels it hitches or causes fps drops. I'm able to access the ingame console to change r.xxxxxxx values and create INI file to load settings at start, but there isn't any "over budget warning" as it's an existing game. Would be awesome if you can help :)

[@terrablader]

great i was doing allot of high quality screenshots this was killign me was restarting the project as moved from camera to camera..!! now it works how does this affect frame rate?

[@felipelima4548]

If the console doesn't work like happened with me you can try to use this steps: Go to Edit->Editor Preferences->Keyboard shorcuts then search "console" Change the assigned key to whatever you want like in my case i selected this '

[@motionislive5621]

Thank you! Do you now what maximum size it could be? it's depends of video card memmory?

[@OneUpGameDev]

Hey! I would suggest you try and optimize your textures and keep this number to the bare minimum. This is because the more you increase this number, the more memory it would demand. Try and optimize your textures and keep this number to as low as possible a number. Now to answer your question, yes, I think the max size would be your video card memory.

[@motionislive5621]

@@OneUpGameDev Thank you!

[@OneUpGameDev]

Cheers bud!

[@zoravibes]

I can't get the "Texture Streaming Pool Over 14.38 MiB Budget" message to go away in the standalone version or packaged build. I can resolve it in the editor by using the console command and increasing the pool size but it doesn't carry over to the standalone or packaged versions. How do I get that message to go away in Standalone and Packaged?

[@zoravibes]

The folks on the Unreal Engine forums advised me to use an execute console command in blueprint! Works perfectly in case anyone else in wondering about the standalone or packaged.

[@KDmadness18]

@@zoravibes sounds good, what do I type into the console command blueprint?

[@CrazyIkeGaming]

@@KDmadness18 I know this is late to your question but if anyone else is needing to know you add the node "Execute Console Command" then in the pink "command" box add r.Streaming.PoolSize and the value at the end. Example r.Streaming.PoolSize 2000 would allocate 2000mb of your GPU memory to texture streaming. Hope that helps.

[@OneUpGameDev]

No worries man! Glad it worked out! 😄

[@TorQueMoD]

n1knarf's statement (Your pinned comment) is compeletely incorrect. The Streaming pool is using video memory, not system RAM. No one has 16GB of graphics memory yet (the 3080 has 12GB, 3090 will have 24). Keep in mind Unreal 4 launched with the PS4/Xbox One and the memory size was appropriate for that generation of consoles. If you're using the engine in 2022, then 77% of all users on Steam have more than 2GB of memory on their GPU and 74% have 4GB or more. As a baseline, a GTX 1080 has about 8GB of VRAM. An ipad 8 by comparison has 3GB of VRAM. Setting your Texture memory pool to 3GB is fine if you're targeting desktop/console. Also, increasing the streaming pool doesn't immediately mean the game requires 3GB of GPU memory, it just means the streaming pool (for texture LODs called Mip Maps) will be up to 3GB before it can't load any more into memory i.e. before textures will become blurry. You're setting your max limit for textures loaded into memory at once.

[@AICineVerseStudios]

Thank you so much , short and too the point! :)

[@saemranian]

[@migi847]

IS it Video memory from the video card or Ram memory from the computer that is used for this ?

[@joyddeyto5345]

can you write the word what you talking coz its not clear to me your english, sorry. I just heard escape button at time 1:10 and i did not unders whats before it. thanks

Hahah I was saying that the key to open console is the ~ key on your keyboard. It is the one below the Escape key and above the Tab key. Hope this helps :)
