C++ comiple

I have a low end PC and it takes minutes for it to compile one line of C++

+I have tried so many IDEs

I wonder is there any way to make UE4 compile C++ faster

My Current IDE:Visual Studio Code

C++ is a very intensive compile-time language and while it shouldn’t be too slow outside of Unreal, using in Unreal itself can be slow in its rebuilds.

I previously had a 6th Gen i5 (4 core) and it was a modest machine (boot to desktop in ~5s) but compile times were slow with C++, and really slow at rebuilding shaders even though BluePrint projects were plenty fast and the machine was more than capable of HD gaming.

Ideally you want at least a 4-core CPU and 8GB ram. More is better
An SSD also improves performance quite significantly.

Why does this thread keep getting bumped every 19 days ??

Oh well, my computer is 8+ years old and it takes 30-40 seconds to compile.
And about 2 minutes to start UE4.

Did you apply that “fix” to make UE4 compile faster by not going through header files every time.
