@MattLakeTA @UnrealEngine Does default to it being left in at a project level. Also, at least in 5.7, it’s not able to change based on build type (development, test, shipping). It’s on or off all together. I expect that it’s expected to be disabled in a live branch and be left on for mainline.

I'm so happy that @digitalfoundry joined my "Great Hitch Hunt" presentation.
Digital Foundry, Epic Games, and game developers alike all share the same goal: smooth, hitch-free gameplay for the players.

The outro of "The Great Hitch Hunt" unfortunately got cut off during the live stream. But no worries, here it is in all its glory! Music by @StephanRueb 🤘 #UnrealFest

[Ari Arnbjörnsson @flassari]

It's VERY common for sync (blocking) loading BP nodes to slip into a project, making it hitch.
A project should have ZERO of those in their projects in my opinion.
Finding them can be a challenge, so I made a validator to catch them in BPs early 👇 #uetips

To simulate a first-run experience for testing PSO compilation hitches, you need to run your game with the -ClearPSODriverCache parameter.
I feel that studios should be testing their games that way ALWAYS. So I made a plugin that does that for you. #uetips

Two full months of research in collaboration with 12 game studios distilled down to 45 minutes of concentrated knowledge, enjoy!
