Breaking (and Fixing) Unreal: An Engineer’s Guide to Problem-Solving | Unreal Fest Bali 2025
Throughout Unreal Engine development, complex technical challenges are inevitable. From running into performance bottlenecks to unexpected engine behavior, knowing how to efficiently identify, validate, and resolve these issues is critical for maintaining a stable production.

In this session recorded at Unreal Fest Bali 2025, Thomas Sheppard shares Prismatic Studios’ approach to problem identification and solution, covering strategies for gathering data, recognizing patterns, and avoiding false assumptions. He then takes a look at validation techniques, using profiling tools and debugging methods to confirm issues before implementing fixes.

Next, Thomas discusses risk assessment and resolution strategies, focusing on minimizing disruptions when making changes to the codebase. Using real-world examples, including both Unreal Developer Network (UDN) cases and challenges the studio has faced in client projects, he shows how to diagnose and solve complex issues effectively.

Watch for practical insights into debugging, profiling, and problem-solving in Unreal Engine that will help you approach technical challenges with confidence in your own projects.
