Clearance
Grass growing through the ground floor of walk-in houses in Unreal Engine 5.8, because the floor sits a few centimetres below the landscape and the grass blades are 35 cm tall; also a new estate with no navmesh at all, front gardens sealed off by the agent radius, benches imported facing backwards, a D3D12 "Too many residency sets" crash on loading a World Partition map twice, and a player left lying on a cell bed forever.

Under the Carpet
Ground-floor rooms in Unreal Engine 5.8 show grass or grey speckle through the floor because the house sits a few centimetres below the landscape; also a MetaHuman whose belly will not shrink from the side because the body is baked into the rig, tattoos that render as scattered fragments under a masked material, and Play In Editor crawling at 1 fps with VolumetricCloudShadow taking 668 ms a frame.

Blocking Wait
Unreal Engine 5.8 editor appears frozen on "Updating Texture Streaming Data 0%" and on the first save of a new material, with two ShaderCompileWorker processes idling at about 25% CPU for hours, because a Custom HLSL node read .w from a VectorParameter whose default pin is RGB (float3); also a council hi-vis vest cut from a Fab shirt, MetaHuman bodies whose pinned girths Fat and Muscularity sliders cannot move, road-profile FBX files that import 100 times too small at 0.01 scale, and 1.14 million cubic metres of cut and fill for a new estate.

Cut and Fill
An NPC dog in Unreal Engine 5.8 that slid along the pavement without moving its legs because SetAnimation in single-node mode loads a clip paused, a landscape hole cut with LandscapeVisibilityMask after the legacy hole material had crashed three editors, a stray hole punched by clicking the viewport with the Visibility brush armed, a road-gradient check that passed while the carved terrain had 13 m cliffs inside 28 roads, and eight autograss buggies built in Blender to the real rulebook.

Twelve Hours on the Grass
A day spent making 98 hectares read as a parkland golf course. The grass layer took twelve hours, got fixed, and was then deleted on purpose - what actually sold the course was 274 trees, 2,180 shrubs, 212 gorse bushes, 79 molehills, a fence, and a flock of rooks that first appeared eight centimetres underground.
