New plugin added to the Unreal main branch. Enables one of the productive ways of working with AI-assisted coding.

Future successor of 'obj list'?

Last year we proposed a new PSO precaching memory management solution to Epic to address a critical source of PSO stutter. Epic has now implemented it, it is planned for UE 5.8, and already visible in ue5-main.
Thread 🧵
Along the way, we identified, fixed and reported several PSO handling issues. One small but critical change that eliminated severe stuttering for us landed late in UE 5.7.0.

Epic implemented this as r.PSOPrecache.KeepInMemoryForActiveMaterials. It is planned for UE 5.8 and already visible in ue5-main. Early testing suggests this can finally allow safe PSO eviction.

To solve this properly, we proposed reference counting PSOs based on active materials, so PSOs stay resident only while source materials are in memory.
The only fully reliable workaround for us was keeping all PSOs resident indefinitely via D3D12.PSOPrecache.KeepLowLevel. This avoids stutters but increases memory usage and can even trigger hard to understand GPU crashes.
Epic added r.PSOPrecache.KeepInMemoryUntilUsed as a mitigation. It keeps a rolling buffer of precached PSOs, but once the buffer wraps, stutters can return, especially when revisiting areas. It is enabled by default in 5.7.2 hotfix.
