With UE5 now on early access, this post is simply a call to RL devs and community managers to please let all of us know the timeline to provide LiveLink for UE5.

It makes a *huge* difference to know what RL's timelines are for updates of this magnitude. We have multiple projects running and deadlines to meet, and ultimately from a project planning perspective it would be incredibly useful to know your plans - I know I speak for many creators in this, so thank you for updating, letting us know, and keeping us in the loop here on the forum.

I believe that Livelink for UE5 might come out 1 or 2 months after the official release of UE5.
My guess is between Nov 2021 and March 2022 

Is there an official release date for Unreal 5 support?

As long as there is no definite release date for UE5 (and there isn't), it wouldn't make sense for RL to even speculate.

The best answer was given above: 1 or 2 months (with 2 being more realistic) after an official stable release of UE5.

Is there any workaround for this?

UE5 won't even compile if the latest Livelink plugin (for vers. 4.26) is added to the UE5 project.

Would you all please release a Pre-Release version of the live link plugin so we may test it with the Beta. 
Seems like a win win for everyone for the plugin to be running well from day one of UE5 release thanks.

Please do this. I'm new to unreal and starting with 5. 
Thanks in advance.

@adamgflynn: There is a dedicated thread for working with UE and other game engines here: https://forum.reallusion.com/Character-Creator/Export-to-3D-Realtime-Engines.

You could ask there if there is a workaround, because some users are working with UE5.
