UnrealGameSync (UGS) is a tool designed to simplify syncing from Perforce, supporting retrieval of pre-built editor binaries for artists or correctly versioning the local build so engineers can modify content. It is a convenient hub for surfacing build health, flagging issues, and scripting common workflow tasks outside Unreal Editor.

For more information on UGS, see the UnrealGameSync docs.

Horde includes an updated version of the legacy MetadataServer IIS web app that ships alongside UGS, integrating seamlessly with Horde's CI functionality.

Configuration

To configure UnrealGameSync to source data from Horde, add the following lines in the UnrealGameSync.ini config file:

[Default]
ApiUrl=https://{{ HORDE_SERVER_URL }}/ugs

This config file can be in a project-specific location (e.g. {{ PROJECT_DIR }}/Build/UnrealGameSync.ini) or in a location that applies to all projects in a stream (e.g. {{ ENGINE_DIR }}/Programs/UnrealGameSync/UnrealGameSync.ini).
