Known issues

This section lists the known bugs and issues with the AltTester® Unreal SDK. If available, we list a workaround to help troubleshoot the issue.

To report a bug that isn’t listed here, see our Contributing section to learn how to best report the issue.

Click Teleportation in Screenshot Area

Problem: When clicking inside the Screenshot area on AltTester® Desktop, the click is teleported to the game build or game in the editor instead of interacting with the UI as expected.

Workaround: No direct workaround currently. This issue will be fixed in future releases.

Affects: AltTester® Unreal SDK 1.0.*

In BrowserStack can’t connect iOS devices with version greater than 16 to AltTester® Server

Problem: A required setting for allowing arbitrary loads is missing from the instrumented build

Workaround: Open the plist.info file after the xcodeproject is generated from the Unreal editor (for iOS building) and do the following:

  • add App Transport Security Settings, then Allow Arbitrary Loads and set to YES

  • proceed to build the ipa file from XCode

Affects: AltTester® Unreal SDK 1.0.*, 1.1.*

Unreal Engine does not render when minimized

Problem: Unreal Engine, by default, does not render frames when the game is minimized. Because of this, issues such as missing screenshots in the AltTester® Desktop or crashes due to unexpected problems may occur.

Workaround: No direct workaround for enabling rendering while minimized. We are investigating a solution to allow rendering even when the game is minimized which will be included in future releases.

Affects: AltTester® Unreal SDK 1.0.*, 1.1.*

‘GetComponentProperty’ command does not support nested or indexed properties

Problem: The GetComponentProperty method currently works for simple property names but does not support:

  • Nested properties (e.g. AltSampleClass.TestInt)

  • Indexed properties in collections (e.g. ListOfSampleClass[1].TestString, arrayOfInts[0])

The Recorder in AltTester® Desktop may generate tests that use nested or indexed properties. These tests do not work at the moment and will be fixed in future releases.

Workaround:

  • Apply GetComponentProperty only to the first property in the path (e.g. AltSampleClass) instead of the full nested property name.

  • Access deeper properties manually from the retrieved component.

Affects: AltTester® Unreal SDK 1.0.*, 1.1.*
