Why are my compile times so long?

Hello I’ve noticed that compile times in the video are super fast. When I try to compile after adding thickness to debug line, it takes ages. I have time to go fetch a snack downstairs for instance.

I even had time to post that question and that reply, and even check what everyone else said…
Ok maybe he’s editing out but it would be interesting to know how long it is for you folks out there.

What version of Unreal are you using? Mine only takes about 10 seconds.

By the way I’m using Unreal Engine version 4.16.1.

You probablt have “Engine.h” included in the header(s). This makes compiling much slower as it has to check way more code.

Compile times are much longer in Unreal 4.17.X if u are using that version. I dont know exect reason, but on same projects if in 4.16 i have 3 sec. compile time while in 4.17 its 20
