Unreal Engine is an amazing tool to create videogames and compile them for almost any (capable) device out there. Despite the fact that Unreal is an awesome **multiplatform** engine, trying to run its **editor** on Linux can be obscure and troublesome. This is a compact but comprehensive guide that includes instructions to install, execute and troubleshoot **UE 5 for Linux**.

* Graphical issues:
* Virtual Shadow Maps (VSM) Artifacts: ![shadow artifacts ue5 lumen vsm](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/Images/building-virtual-worlds/lighting-and-shadows/shadows/virtual-shadow-maps/vsm-max-pages-exceeded-artifact.webp)
* Virtual Shadow Maps (VSM) Artifacts: ![shadow artifacts ue5 lumen vsm](/images/posts/ue-vsm-max-pages-exceeded-artifact.png)

With Virtual Shadow Maps, all of the shadow data in the scene for all lights is stored in a single large texture pool. The default pool size is affected by the Shadow Scalability setting, but it may need to be adjusted in scenes with many lights using high resolution shadows.

Unreal Engine es una herramienta fantástica para crear videojuegos y compilarlos para casi cualquier dispositivo (lo suficientemente poderoso). A pesar del hecho que Unreal es un motor **multiplatforma** increíble, intentar correr su **editor** en Linux puede ser un proceso oscuro y molesto. Esta es una guía compacta pero integral, que incluye instrucciones para instalar, ejectuar y corregir los errores más comunes de **UE 5 para Linux**.

* Problemas gráficos:
* Virtual Shadow Maps (VSM) con artefactos: ![shadow artifacts ue5 lumen vsm](https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/Images/building-virtual-worlds/lighting-and-shadows/shadows/virtual-shadow-maps/vsm-max-pages-exceeded-artifact.webp)
* Virtual Shadow Maps (VSM) con artefactos: ![shadow artifacts ue5 lumen vsm](/images/posts/ue-vsm-max-pages-exceeded-artifact.png)

Con Virtual Shadow Maps, todos los datos de sombras en la escena para todas las luces se almacenan en un único pool de texturas grande. El tamaño del pool predeterminado se ve afectado por la configuración de Escalabilidad de sombras, pero es posible que deba ajustarse en escenas con muchas luces que usan sombras de alta resolución.
