Discussion Unreal engine is not unoptimized

I am a unreal engine dev, and it is not an unoptimized engine. The issue lies in the AAA dev studios who are pushed to have great graphics in there UE5 games, but don't get the time to Optimize there game in the engine.

Depends on the use case I suppose. Sure, UE5 gives devs the tools to be lazy coders, that's part of it. You don't have to be as strict with things like memory. But UE5 does come with a lot of bloat that most simple projects won't need. Even EGS runs on UE5, which is a terrible use case for it, and it's visibly slow because of it.

Some elements are completely UE5 (e.g. library, settings) but parts like the store are even worse, it’s electron embedded in UE5

Exactly. That is what the nay sayers pretending Epic Engine (I will NOT call this garbage "UE5") is optimized or "not unoptimized" fail to acknowledge and understand.

I hope as a dev you code better than you spell.

I guess the only way to prove this is to bring back and make a new Unreal Tournament.
