unreal editor not loading / hanging at 39% (4.26)

I've encountered hangs at these two percentages now - looking at the task manager, it seems like shaders are being recompiled, I think if you're patient and wait a long time (like more than 15 mins, maybe 30 mins) it might actually eventually load....
 

However if you're not, like me - for the 39% case, I found online that the "solution" is to rename the "Config" folder within your game project to "Config_Old" or something else. That should get the editor loading up fully. However it does wipe all of your project settings, so I think you'll either have to copy those back in, or load a preset or just make sure you set them all again! 



Frustrating stuff!

Android Vulkan/ES3.1 preview doesn't match Shader Model 5/DX11 view

What the title says! I spent the better part of 2 days trying to figure this out haha. So your problem isn't mobile HDR, although that does actually make it match to an extent, due to part of the culprit - auto-exposure! Auto Exposure in the Shader Model 5 (SM5) view will brighten or darken your scene to emulate your eyes' ability to adjust to varying lighting conditions. So, a very dark scene will gradually get brighter in SM5, whereas your Android view will stay looking dark. You can turn this off in the project settings, just type "exposure" in the search bar Next up is setting your view to also only display the exposure at 1.0 As long as you're using lights which are supported in both SM5 and Vulkan/ES3.1 your scenes should be much more similar now. However, there is a tonemapping difference still. I thought it might be a straight sRGB difference of 2.2/0.454, but it isn't quite that! If you add a Post Process Volume actor to your scene and mess around wit
