How to ACTUALLY Load Levels in Unreal and Make Loading Screens

Loading levels is one of the most basic requirements for almost any game. And while Uneal engine provides you with some options, I see most people just using the simple " Open level" node, which is not that great. so today, let's talk about the proper way to do this!

BTW if you don't want to use level streaming you can also:
1) async load Asset (using the level reference)
2) Display loading screen
3) When loading is completed use open level node

This removes most of the screen freeze incurred during the loading process.

Why I haven't seen this video earlier. Thanks!

Honestly this'll help me a ton with a massive project I'm working on. Thank you for supplying your knowledge :)

This was useful thank you. I love the fact that I finally have a solid way to actually include loading screens into my game. Because I have a feeling I am going to need them. So this was great. Thank you. I will probably replace the casting with an interface because casting isn't the preferred method but still a good tut so thank you.

You skipped promoting the LevelToLoad to a variable.

One of the best video about async level load

How to specify in a variable the same type "world" as you have specified for levels? I can't find it in the name dropdown when I assign a variable type?

Could you cover multiplayer level streaming/loading setups please?

[Flowerpot]

Great content. Just what I was looking for.

[dmangamesSTUDIO]

Great tutorial! Thanks for making this

[rzky]

finally i found what i was looking for, but i still haven't found it, just a few actually, like how to combine it with a progress bar or percentage, so in the loading screen we can see how much longer

As you mentioned on 5:10, how would you enable visiblility of a speceific loaded level via blueprint? I've been struggeling with that a week now can't find the way.

I would like to text word partition myself, they say it doesn't work but I want to try it.

[Skyrim]

Some people say in youtube that Level Streaming dont work very well and them say that is bether persistent levels and use a save system for this. And what about word partition? It work?

[FPChris]

If I'm currently in Level 1 and I load a save game that is Level 3 it dumps the save game when Level 3 is loaded and you have to load it again to continue parsing data. Seems wrong to load the save game data twice? Are people doing it a different way because I don't see a why around it.

Great Video, Thank you. Joined the discord

Just stumbled upon your channel and got to say there is some amazing content which is helping me a ton. But for some reason with this tutorial the first level loads fine but when I hit the part where it should switch to level 2 it just get stuck on the loading screen and does not progress further. Any idea why? (i'm using 5.4).
