UE - Simulation - Physics - Mar 13, 2025

When you create a GeometryCollectionActor by dragging a GeometryCollectionAsset from the ContentBrowser into the scene, instead of using the PhysicsMaterial defined in the GeometryCollectionAsset, i ...

Physics Constraint Component loss of accuracy

UE - Simulation - Physics - Mar 6, 2025

Physics Constraint Component has lost accuracy between Unreal versions 5.2 and 5.4 (and up). When measuring the exact distance between rigid bodies constrained by a Physics Constraint Component, the ...

Autobrake feature in ChaosVehicleMovementComponent is stopping vehicle from sleeping

UE - Simulation - Physics - Mar 5, 2025

In ChaosVehicleMovementComponent::CalcThrottleBrakeInput, autobrake is set when a vehicle is stopped - this means that when the car is virtually stationary, the BrakeOut inout parameter is always 1. ...

OnComponentWake Event does not trigger when the physical body is awoken by a Force
