Hello, I am a Playstation game developer and I need Substance C++ files to compile the Unreal Engine 4 plugin for PS4. I tried using the developer status confirmation function, but there is no response. Is there any way to get them?

Hi @defaultdp6elzz6xb6s , I answered in the other thread as well, but I'm sharing it here too for visibility:

We previously supported a runtime component in the UE plugin, which we extended to support the original Xbox One and PS4 consoles. However, as these consoles have become outdated with the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, our plugin has also become outdated.

The usage of this runtime component on these platforms is very low, and the complexity of adding support and maintaining it for these game consoles is very high. Therefore, we are no longer supporting these platforms.

One workaround would be to remove the Substance objects and switch to using the textures as static UE materials, though this would mean a loss of runtime changes. We sincerely apologize for the discontinued support for ps4. Desktop and mobile should function as expected.
