At the root the problem is that some editor-only components store information to construct an asset for the runtime component but not the asset itself. This behavior caused the assets to not be correctly detected in two places. The first place was due to the recent move to PrefDocument to avoid repeated (de)serialization of the PrefabDOM when converting to spawnables. Due to the caching the change from editor-only component to runtime component didn't record the new asset. This has been fixed by allowing assets to be collected on store as well and to check the cache validity when retrieving the list of referenced assets. The second problem was with loading assets from the in-memory spawnable that's created for Play-In-Editor. Because the newly created assets wouldn't be loaded they need to be explicitly loaded. The original code used the collected list of assets from the PrefabDocument and checked if they were loaded, depending on hot-reloading to trigger a reload on the actual asset. This turned out to not be universally applicable, so instead the Serialize Context is now used to find all the assets that aren't loaded yet and queues a load. This is a bit more expensive to do, but to offset this cost checks are done to only do any operations on assets that haven't been loaded yet which reduces the number of calls to the Asset Manager.

Building the Engine
Build requirements and redistributables
For the latest details and system requirements, refer to System Requirements in the documentation.
Windows
- Visual Studio 2019 16.9.2 minimum (All editions supported, including Community): https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
- Check System Requirements for other supported versions.
- Install the following workloads:
- Game Development with C++
- MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86
- C++ 2019 redistributable update
- CMake 3.20.5 minimum: https://cmake.org/download/#latest (Release Candidate versions are not supported)
Optional
- Wwise audio SDK
- For the latest version requirements and setup instructions, refer to the Wwise Audio Engine Gem reference in the documentation.
Quick start engine setup
To set up a project-centric source engine, complete the following steps. For other build options, refer to Setting up O3DE from GitHub in the documentation.
-
Create a writable folder to cache downloadable third-party packages. You can also use this to store other redistributable SDKs.
-
Install the following redistributables:
- Visual Studio and VC++ redistributable can be installed to any location.
- CMake can be installed to any location, as long as it's available in the system path.
-
Configure the engine source into a solution using this command line, replacing
<your build path>,<your source path>, and<3rdParty package path>with the paths you've created:cmake -B <your build path> -S <your source path> -G "Visual Studio 16" -DLY_3RDPARTY_PATH=<3rdParty package path>Example:
cmake -B C:\o3de\build\windows -S C:\o3de -G "Visual Studio 16" -DLY_3RDPARTY_PATH=C:\o3de-packagesNote: Do not use trailing slashes for the <3rdParty package path>.
-
Alternatively, you can do this through the CMake GUI:
- Start
cmake-gui.exe. - Select the local path of the repo under "Where is the source code".
- Select a path where to build binaries under "Where to build the binaries".
- Click Add Entry and add a cache entry for the <3rdParty package path> folder you created, using the following values:
- Name: LY_3RDPARTY_PATH
- Type: STRING
- Value:
<3rdParty package path>
- Click Configure.
- Wait for the key values to populate. Update or add any additional fields that are needed for your project.
- Click Generate.
- Start
-
Register the engine with this command:
scripts\o3de.bat register --this-engine -
The configuration of the solution is complete. You are now ready to create a project and build the engine.
For more details on the steps above, refer to Setting up O3DE from GitHub in the documentation.
Setting up new projects and building the engine
-
From the O3DE repo folder, set up a new project using the
o3de create-projectcommand.scripts\o3de.bat create-project --project-path <your new project path> -
Configure a solution for your project.
cmake -B <your project build path> -S <your new project source path> -G "Visual Studio 16"Example:
cmake -B C:\my-project\build\windows -S C:\my-project -G "Visual Studio 16"Note: Do not use trailing slashes for the <3rdParty cache path>.
-
Build the project, Asset Processor, and Editor to binaries by running this command inside your project:
cmake --build <your project build path> --target <New Project Name>.GameLauncher Editor --config profile -- /mNote: Your project name used in the build target is the same as the directory name of your project.
This will compile after some time and binaries will be available in the project build path you've specified, under bin/profile.
For a complete tutorial on project configuration, see Creating Projects Using the Command Line Interface in the documentation.
