What versions of Unreal Engine are compatible with Carbon?
Carbon for Unreal currently utilizes Unreal Engine 5.4.2. For more information, please visit the page on Getting and Installing Unreal Engine.
Is there a Mac Version?
Carbon for Unreal currently requires Windows due to its reliance on specific graphics languages not fully supported on Mac hardware. However, we're dedicated to exploring ways to bring the Carbon experience to Mac users as technology and compatibility evolve.

Will Carbon for Unreal work in Multi-user sessions?
We are researching this exciting workflow and will share more soon.
How can I tell if I have the latest release of Carbon for Unreal?
There is a dynamic message on the bottom of the Carbon Core Palette that will notify you of any new versions.
Is Carbon for Unreal a Project Plugin or an Engine Plugin?
We opted to develop Carbon as a Project plugin, so every project can use a different version of the plugin if needed. This is to support projects with long lifecycles or ones that need to be revisited at a later date.
Can I package my project as a standalone executable?
Carbon for Unreal is a pre-compiled plugin, and therefore does not contain any source files. Current licensing disallows the packaging of Carbon as a redistributable. Users can apply for exceptions to this rule if you work with Imaginary Labs as a project partner.
