alt Hacker NewsI completely agree with every single point you've said here. Running a P4 server is an exercise in self torture, but it's the only option with UE5.

With one caveat. I think swarm is a great tool. It could do with being easier to configure, but as a code review tool it's simple, straightforward and gets the job done.

this is about the only thing that Perforce has actually managed to do in the last... 5 years? [0] It's also woefully awkward to set up and operate, as is everything P4. But it does work.

I'm actually using helix-authentication-service.
Swarm "works with it" in theory, but in practice I had to patch the loginWithSSO function to shell out to the p4 process to handle auth, because P4PHP doesn't expose ClientSSO at all and it's required for a clean login with keycloak.
EntraID is a different flow that they've probably nailed, from what I hear from other studios.
