Installation

Supported Platforms

Errant Worlds currently support Windows only. We plan to add support for Linux and high-end consoles in the near future.

Supported Unreal Versions

We ensure compatibility with the latest Unreal Engine version as well as the previous one.

  • Our precompiled plugins are designed to work seamlessly with official releases of UE5, which can be easily downloaded through the Epic Launcher.
  • Additionally, if you got our plugins with source code you compile them against the release branches of UE5.
  • We don't guarantee compatibility with non-release branches like "ue5-main." If you require assistance with such branches, please reach out to us.

When downloading our plugins from your license page, make sure you pick a version that matches your Unreal Engine version.

Unreal Versions

note

Compiled plugin's target engine version can be checked in its .uplugin file under EngineVersion. For example:

    "EngineVersion": "5.0.0",

Means that plugin will work only for Unreal Engine 5.0. It will work for all patch releases so: 5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc.

If you are compiling Unreal Engine from source, even without making any changes to the code, this means you are using a custom engine and need to compile our plugins as well.

If you need access to another version (UE5 main branch, etc) contact us through our website, email or through our Discord channel.

The exact steps that you'll need to take to install the plugin will depend on two things:

  1. If you're using an official release of Unreal Engine (downloaded via the Epic Launcher) or a version compiled from source. If you are compiling Unreal Engine from source, even without making any changes to the code, this means you are using a custom engine and need to compile our plugins as well.
  2. If you got our plugin with source code and want to compile them. Trial versions do not contain source code. You can choose to include the source code at purchase time. If you realized you need the source code after making the purchase, please reach out to us.

1. Place the plugin in the engine's Plugins subfolder, inside a Marketplace subfolder.

Usually that's C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\ErrantWorlds\....

If the Marketplace directory is missing, add it manually.

Your directory should look like this:

────Plugins
└───Marketplace
└───ErrantWorlds
├───ErrantBiomes
│ ├───ErrantBiomes.uplugin
│ └───...
└───ErrantLandscape
├───ErrantLandscape.uplugin
└───...

2. Enable the plugins in Unreal Editor. Go to Menu->Edit->Plugins.

Installation of the Landscape Stamp Brush Library

Our Landscape plugin comes with a library of stamp brushes that you can use in your projects. To access this library, simply download it from your license page. For instructions on how to install the brushes, please refer to the Stamp Brush Library article.
