STREAMING & SERIALISATION FOR UNREAL OPEN WORLDS JONATHAN MOALLEM LEAD PROGRAMMER @ GAMELOFT BRISBANE Unreal Engine 5 provides built-in solutions for chunked streaming management, multi-user editing, instancing, and LODing with its World Partition systems. Theres a ton of great tunctionality to lean on that will get you 90% of the way to your open world game, but there's also a lot of glue and gotchas to look out for.
