Ah, this is SOUND ... It was mentioned (I think) that sounds might be broken after some engine's update, this will be valid for all games using UE4.25 (I think) and newer.

Hi. After the 14.40 update with the new file compression system from EG - can Umodel get the content? Correct me, please, if I missed the information on how to work with new Fortnite files

Yes, there are some changes in UE4 file system. I'm still downloading the game - so I even don't know what UModel will say about new files.

However I do not have any plans to do any work on UE4 right now, so just wait, or use older game.

good, what is the key of the last halloween patch? I try the mainkey 14.40 and it doesn't work in any UE version 4.24,4.25,4.26. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

The file structure has changed. It's not about the key, but about the update files and the need to find another way for UModel to work with these files.
Perhaps nothing will work as before. I look forward to news from our respected Konstantin/Gildor シ
I know that many creative people use the Gildor's work (Umodel) for monetization. And I know that Fortnite is very popular. Perhaps, now The Moment has come when we should thank Gildor and motivate him to spent his time for update the program that will solve the problem with updating the file structure of the Fortnite game client. As in other similar projects, he needs to work at his main job to meet the needs. Consequently, there is little free time to solve a serious problem with Umodel.

Didn't expect them stripping some header info from the assets. So it's not only about package format, but changed assets format as well. Some samples for those who interested.
We can only guess why they did that, but there is possibility that they're trying to unify the format with something else.

Package format wasn't changed much since UE1. That time only single-core CPU were on the market. Now, I think average core count is 4-6, with 8-12 threads. Epic decided to optimize data structures so packages could be loaded simultaneously with multiple cores: one core is used to read data, other cores performs parsing. Original package (uasset) format is not suitable well for that, it requires too much access to common data, what causes locks, so cores aren't used effectively.

Also, they've optimized things for being loaded as a single large memory block instead of doing parsing of every single byte.

That make sense. They're probably preparing for nextgen consoles as well (optimization-wise). I wonder, should we expect those updates in all future 4.26 games and above.

Guess this calls for another umodel update to deal with. I shall wait patiently until said release. There's a few things in the current Fortnite build I'm curious about, haha.

Congratulations Gildor, I'm looking at the news on twitter, it has to be a complicated job to reprogram the code and implement improvements, you will surely hit the door, congratulations.

I made a post about the "unversioned properties" but I saw on your twitter that you're thinking of a fix. How long will it take?
