Post-Installation Configuration​

Optional Plugin Dependencies​

For additional features, you can enable the Common UI plugin:

  1. Navigate to Edit → Plugins
  2. Find and enable the "Common UI" plugin
  3. Restart the editor if prompted

See CommonUI Integration for more details on CommonUI features and setup.

Project Configuration​

GameUserSettings Class​

Auto Settings provides a custom GameUserSettings class to avoid conflicts with Unreal's default settings handling:

  1. Open your project settings (Edit → Project Settings)
  2. Navigate to Engine → General Settings
  3. Set Game User Settings Class to AutoSettingsGameUserSettings
Why This Is Needed

This custom class prevents Unreal's default GameUserSettings from interfering with your settings. Without this, using F11 to toggle full-screen can reset some of your scalability settings to incorrect values.

Enhanced Input Configuration​

For input mapping features:

  1. In Project Settings, navigate to Engine → Enhanced Input
  2. Check Enable User Settings
  3. Set User Settings Class to AutoSettingsEnhancedInputUserSettings
