A Dead and Dying World

The article notes that a comment reading "Look for indications that widgets are being created for a dead and dying world" was found in the Unreal Engine 5.1 source code file UserWidget.cpp at line 20351. The comment was present in the publicly available source on GitHub for Unreal 5.1 but appears to have been removed in a later version.

Found in Unreal Engine 5.1 source, UserWidget.cpp, line 20351 // Look for indications that widgets are being created for a dead and dying world. Maybe so. You need to jump through lots of hoops to view Unreal source on GitHub, but here’s the file. It’s there as of Unreal 5.1, but seems to have been deleted at some point since. ↩︎
