Historical development note. Originally published in May 2024. The engine and dependency versions below describe that environment; they are not a recommendation to use these versions in a new project.

Introduction

Default SSL pseudo lib removed from p4api since version 2017.x. Cryengine 5.7 use p4api version 2016.x which does not support SSL. But our server require SSL support (and I have no intention to change this) so we use latest p4api instead. But SSL libs are not included in p4api. So we need to build OpenSSL libs on our own and modify PerforcePlugin (official integration of p4 in CE) build configs.

CryEngine 5 uses QT as the UI framework. It’s good considering how powerful QT is. However there are some problems at the moment due to current status of the engine and SDKs.
