Research direction
This is a full Unreal Engine 5.5 migration, not a first-issue edit. Start from the .uproject and plugin descriptor version fields, then the official UE 5.5 release notes for breaking APIs. Rebuild plugins, cook/package Windows and Linux, and re-test Pixel Streaming plus sample scenes. A closed unmerged linked PR already exists; treat that as prior work, not a green field.

.uprojectand plugin descriptor files. - Resolve API changes and deprecations introduced in UE 5.5.
- Rebuild plugins and verify all modules compile and run.
- Validate packaging and cooking for both Windows and Linux targets.
- Test Pixel Streaming compatibility.
- Update documentation and README to reflect UE 5.5 support.
- Confirm all sample scenes and vehicle assets behave correctly in UE 5.5.
Additional Notes
Some assets or engine subsystems may require changes to maintain compatibility. Review the official UE 5.5 release notes for migration guides and breaking changes:
