Many developers believe Unreal Engine isn't suited for 2D games and has performance issues. However in this video I disprove that and show you how you can make performant Unreal 2D Games that run at framerates of 300 FPS and higher.

0:26 What are Frames Per Second
1:49 FPS Benchmark and Project Settings
4:02 FPS in UE 2D Games on Steam

1) Disable Lumen
2) Enable Forward rendering

Another aspect that would be interesting to learn more about would be compressing/reducing file size

I will always thank the algorithm for showing me your channel. Thank you for doing what you do ❤

[RDEYELOVE]

Pretty cool bro I'm definitely getting the course💪🏾

People thinking that unreal is unoptimized are ignorant. Out of the box you won't have access to another engine that performs better even in the editor. Seriously, if you are running a good fps on a 3d game with a lot of assets why would it perform worse for 2d?

[brandonjacksoon]

Thank you my friend! Always very helpful tutorials!

[BlackGlem]

Great Video, as usual. Thank you very much.

[grognarok]

Really enjoy your videos, would you be willing to create a metroidvania style room transitions, or map transitions

Would a 2d paper vehicle be done just like a character? How would they interact, such as getting in the vehicle?

Nice. I originally wanted to use Unreal for my 2D game. I had a little concern about FPS but never really got around to testing it. It was the bloat that got me. 200-500GB for building a 2D game felt so unnecessary. Not to mention, for the life of me, I could not get my sandbox game to deploy to my steam deck. :(

[HollaenderDK]

How did the changes affect the final build file size??

[Sadness]

I love Unreal and I creat a 2d game but the probleme it's I don't see a lot of tutos for 2d game (sorry for my english, I am french)

[saulsantos]

Super cool, would be great if you made the same for 3d if you want(as 3d runs bad af in my igpu.

No no, forward rendering is a lot better when dealing with transparents. Deferred shading pipeline cant support transparents. So they always have a forward shading phase that only renders transparents. So deferred rebdering is slower in that sense.

Are these settings helpful for performance boosting in *3D Games*?
- Disable Lumen
- Enable Forward rendering

[Burnrate]

You should really talk about frame time in ms and not compare fps values. It has a lot more meaning

[latef]

If i were to create a game like stardew valley does it count as 2d Hybrid game?

[MailmanHOF]

Im a full time mailman and hardcore gamer who wants to transition to game dev. What affordable pc or laptop should I look into to use unreal 5

[zufurioPlay]

I have a question, when I run the game in Lit mode it looks bad, but when I run it in Unlit mode it looks good. Anybody knows what could be the problem? thank you
