Description
Install Unreal Engine 5 and verify that the engine launches without errors. This includes configuring Epic Games Launcher and preparing the environment for the new project.
@Malek chrifi alaoui , please ensure that unreal version being used is LTS(long time support).
Dont use new version if they are not stable.
Also write a short description on why you think this version works best
Hi,
I’ve chosen Unreal Engine 5.6.1 for the project, because it’s part of the 5.6 LTS line, which Epic presents as a production-ready, performance-focused release.
Compared to 5.4, UE 5.6 improves stability and performance (up to ~30% faster in benchmarks) and introduces deeper in-engine MetaHuman tooling, while still being more mature and less risky than the brand-new 5.7 branch. This makes it a safer choice for a MetaHuman-heavy PoC than 5.7.0, which is still early in its lifecycle.
