Plugin: Launcher with graphics settings

I've made a UnrealEngine plugin which adds a Launcher window to your game with some graphics settings, like this;



You can download the plugin here;
http://www.mediafire.com/download/skjz15jcb93ju0a/ScalabilityUIPlugin_v4_4_1.zip

And you can contribute to the source code here;
https://github.com/Teddy0/ScalabilityUIPlugin

It will pop up this window when you start the game (but not the editor) and allow users to lower graphical settings to help them hit 75 fps.

Pixels Per DisplayPixel: adjusts the resolution, and has a dramatic effect on performance.
Anti-Aliasing: Lowering this to Low/Medium will help performance at high resolutions
Post Processing: Lowering this to Low/Medium will disable tone mapping and bloom, both of which have a high impact on performance

The rest are pretty self explanatory.

    Um, I seem to be encountering a problem..
    When I try to load up a project UE4.4.1 project with this plugin installed in it, I get this error:
    "Plugin 'RollercoasterPlugin' failed to load because module 'RollercoasterPlugin' does not appear to be compatible with the current version of the engine. The plugin may need to be recompiled."

    :( I was getting this same error before, when I tried to use the 4.3 version in 4.4, but I don't understand why I'm seeing this error now..

    Thanks a bunch! :D

    I had a lot of problem with installing this but finally figured it out.
    If you have the old version of the plugin installed it's not enough to just overwrite with the new files.
    You need to launch UE4 and go to the plugin window and disable the old Scaler plugin. UE4 will ask if you want to restart. Click yes.
    When UE4 has restarted, close it and copy the new plugin files as described in the install notes.
    Launch UE4 and enable the plugin. UE4 will restart again.

    Thank you so much for your great plugin. I really appreciate it.

    I keep getting the following error after packing my project with the plug in and trying to run it.

    Any clues?

    Thanks!

    You should really add a slider for screen space reflections, it has by far the largest effect on framerate, and if your system cant handle it then turning everything else down to lowest wont save you.
