whats the difference between shipping and shipping client

Hi, I have a packaging issue with a couple of structs, I use these structs to build some datatables at runtime, and I have 4 tables, all using structs in different paths, and for some reason it fails with one of the 4 structs.

The struct does exist and works in the editor. I have no idea what is wrong, how do I solve this?

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): LogInit: Display: LogProperty: Error: FStructProperty::Serialize Loading: Property 'StructProperty /Game/Planes/KS_EasyFM_BaseBP.KS_EasyFM_BaseBP_C:PreFlightSetup:PlaneDataRow'. Unknown structure.

EDIT: Solved, renaming the variable accessing the struct solved the issue, seems this issue has been around since Noah floated his boat

I'm using OnPostLogin with my Gamemode, to create a character & possess them. However when I package the game the only thing that gets possessed is the Server.

It did work, but I changed something and cannot recall what. My code seems perfectly fine

Hey, this is a really rookie question here, I'm wondering how/if binaries are optimised? I'm combing through our little jam game and a good 80% of the file size comes from these binaries. I'm comparing to UE4 builds of a previous project, one that was 3D multiplayer and much more fancy, and it has a much smaller size (about 16MB).

So I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong for it to come out like:

#

Or if maybe UE5 is just like this right now?

#

I've went through what should be the relevant documentation, tired to look through the forums, and searched on here, watched a few video tutorials too, but no luck 😔

winged moss Jul 23, 2022, 3:33 AM

#

wispy lagoon Hey, this is a *really* rookie question here, I'm wondering how/if binaries are ...

how are you comparing? does one have symbols and the other doesn't? did you disable plugins you don't use?

wispy lagoon Jul 23, 2022, 3:35 AM

#

Unfortunately whether or not the old one had symbols (that's something I've just learned exists, to be completely honest with you) is lost, but the current install we're working on doesn't:

#

And there's no plug-ins that are enabled but not used, I've even specifically just combed the one plug-in we do use to 4MB down from like 300MB.

#

Honestly the other game's builds are mostly just my reference point for me wondering why there's such a disparity in size.

#

Guess who just learned about this dropdown.

#

Kept digging through messages and that's made a decent improvement, like 549MB to 343MB (enough to let Itch.io play it in browser if a html5 build works out which is my goal). Not sure how I missed this in documentation, that's quite silly.
EDIT: Yeah I checked out the first commit, when it was an empty project and it was this same file size (340MB~). I guess that's just the basic size then?

Breakpoint that like in code and it may catch it.

#

Then you can discover the issue by looking at the vars.

swift cargo Jul 24, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

mystic atlas Breakpoint that like in code and it may catch it.

Found it. There's 0 breakpoints in my own code for it. It's due to BPFLs being glitchy and causing the compiler to see two _WorldContextObjects when you duplicate a function.

#

Is there a specific configuration you should use for the best packaging results for optimization and security or are the out of the box settings fine?

No clue what this means but can someone help it was when I was packaging.....

hasty valve so they can just take all the assets and models of the game

Yes? People will reverse assets from a game however they see fit. If their computer can read 'em, they can rip 'em

winged moss Jul 24, 2022, 11:11 PM

Though I'm not sure if you need to implement something in the game to handle failed signature checks

hasty valve But everyone can cheat

What sort of game are you making? If it's single player why do you care if a player mods the game to make it more fun for them? If it's multiplayer with dedicated servers, you really should invest in some kind of checksum or signing like sswires mentioned. If it's lobby based mp then just have a vote kick or something. If you are worried about tournaments and stuff, the players are usually vetted or aren't allowed to bring their own files for those

hasty valve Jul 24, 2022, 11:28 PM

mellow bane Jul 25, 2022, 7:12 AM

#

hasty valve like I really need to do something with the encrpytion key

No, you really do not. You shouldn't encrypt anything in the first place because it degrades update speed and load-time performance for your game.

#

Encryption is a waste of everyone's time that does not give you any meaningful protection

#

Breaking Unreal's encryption is literally tutorial level of documented

#

Focus on building a good game - and if you're concerned about cheating, here's news for you: no one can prevent client-side cheating and no one does. Latest trend in fighting cheats is suing the cheat makers because the technology battle can't be won.

#

(That, or having players install a kernel driver that checks the anticheat for tampering during the OS boot, which I obviously do not suggest)

That too.

since the default will likely be D3D11 or 12

mystic atlas Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

drowsy ember Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

Hi, my call to RunUAT from .bat file isn't giving the same results as packaging from the Editor. Yet I copied all the arguments the editor was giving RunUAT, so they should be almost the same calls. It seems to not be getting C++ changes and the cooking fails because of that(Blueprint references C++ function that exists, but says it's not there). Is there additional things like working directory that I should set before hand? (I've tried setting working directory to the unreal engine directory and also the project's working directory with no luck). Or ideas why this might be failing to incorporate the latest C++ changes?

editor launch is probably running on your PC, packaged is using the quest hardware.

That's definitely true for PIE, that is using PC hardware. But this is specifically the launch level button that compiles and launches the map to the headset

you'll have to profile it packaged using android stuff ,adb or whatever, I learned how to do it through google's documentation.

snow mural Jul 27, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

still a bit confused, what am I looking at for adb profiling vs ue4 profiling?

#

cuz for ue4 profiling, one instance has player controller tick taking .4ms, where packaged player controller tick takes .8ms

#

for a lot of things it's like ms has just doubled

#

and if I run with PIE my fps is effectively uncapped and same stuff takes like .004ms lol

nope

#

It's the opposite, Epic suggests compiling Linux releases from Windows.

dreamy panther Jul 27, 2022, 1:06 PM

#

Yeah no problem, it was just easier for us to setup Linux agents vs Windows - we're just about to adjust that haha

#

Thanks for the swift reply 🙏 was pretty sure it was the case, but always nice to get confirmation

Hey everyone! I'm currently trying to package in ue5 for quest 2 and keep running into this error. I've updated android studio, changed my sdk version, restarted etc but can't seem to get anywhere. Anyone know what's causing this maybe?

I just packaged my 2d game and i want to have a download link that i can put everywhere like youtube twitter and itchio but the problem is the game itself is stuck in this windowsnoeditor folder with other file folders and i’m not sure what they are. Is it possible to make it so if someone downloads a zip file of my game they can only download the application. Also could somebody with unreal engine open these file folders and extract my resources used?

If you zip that folder you can distribute that. Would that not work for you?

How to integrate the whole project into one exe file?

When we buy a DVD of a game, there’s usually an installation file suffixed with .exe. I wonder how can I generate this file using UE 4? Or I need to write my own codes to compile all my projects into one execution file? Thanks, wcl1993

Does cooking require Debug/Dev editor DLLs?

#

If I delete my UE4Editor-GameName.dll , it fails cooking almost immediately with "LogModuleManager: Warning: ModuleManager: Unable to load module"

#

If this is the case, then I need to build the editor versions of my DLLS before I cook - and so I must do this when doing a full packaging (Build NoEditor exe, Build Editor DLLs, cook, package)?

#

It seems if I don't build the editor DLLs, blueprints won't cook properly if it's looking for new CPP functions

#

Ok hmm going to try removing "-nocompileeditor" from the packaging and see if that works

toxic pier Jul 28, 2022, 5:44 AM

#

Ah that was it all along.. needed the editor to always compile with the packaging or else it won't grab new changes. Didn't think it required this to build non-editor builds I guess...

When I package my game with the shipping config the game builds and cooks perfectly fine without any errors but when I launch it the game is just frozen at a blackscreen with nothing happening. There are no logs written and the game does not crash. It just seems to be stuck in an endless loop. Any ideas on how to fix this?

#

Development and Debug Game work perfectly fine

noble trail Jul 28, 2022, 7:07 AM

Did you add the individual levels (maps) to the packaging build in the settings, I forgot to before and had a similar experience

primal depot Jul 28, 2022, 7:22 AM

#

Yep the levels are packaged correctly

#

As I said it works in all configs but Shipping

1-) What is Build Target in packaging settings?
2-) Can i have a relative path as packaging directory? For example ProjectRoot/Build

mystic atlas Jul 29, 2022, 4:08 PM

Win64 Linux etc (I think)

#

OR!

#

If you have multiple game modules, you can specify which one is your primary one

#

It's one of those 2 things.

mystic atlas If you have multiple game modules, you can specify which one is your primary one

Is it even possible to change your primary game module?
Isn't it always the same name with .uproject name?

mystic atlas Jul 29, 2022, 4:13 PM

It is possible, yeah.

It's specified in the uproject what your module is called.

And you can add more

I don't know what to type. But looks like whatever i type, it will still open a windows explorer dialogue and want me to select a path. Afterwards it will re-assign selected path as staging directory. So i guess not worth to find out

If anyone else needs this answer; it's two fold. The launch level button uses editor settings and if you've optimized those settings you'll be fine there, but the packaging process does not use those same settings!

You have to add cvars for optimizing in device profiles to match, and you have to select a non-epic scalability in the settings menu dropdown. I did a third thing of copying my DefaultScalability.ini somewhere else, but don't think that actually helped anything.

How the hell do I prevent the project launcher from packing every single level into my builtproject? I'm trying to reduce the size of my test builds, but it's including every single level from my project into it. I only have the needed maps selected in the project launcher under "cooked maps", and according to the reference viewer, the map I am cooking has no references to the maps I don't want to include, but they still package into my build

#

Do I just have some hidden references I haven't found?

anyone knows when does the packaging process includes the config inis?

#

is it on the cooking process?

#

or just the packaging overall? (if i do skip cook does it updates the configs?)

im gonna guess it's on the final stage

since there is a lot of "Excluding config file...."

Hi guys, i created a project using ue 5.0.3 source code, downloaded from Git.
I created a simple TPS project with a Metahuman, but when i click on Package Project (Dev mode) it starts to compile thousands of files and creates hundreds of folder inside the build folder.
I tried to package a simple project i made with ue 5.0.2 (no source code) and it only compile 30 files and creates a single folder "Engine" inside the build folder.
It seems like there's something wrong in my build config of 5.0.3, what can i do?

Is there a supported way in UE4 to specify alternative assets per platform so that only that asset gets cooked for the target platform? A contrived example would be marking a complex Niagara particle system for desktop platforms, and then in the same scene, marking a simple texture flipbook quad for Android.

Debug is extremely slow and uncommon to use (default is development), shipping is for shipping - full optimization, files written in user dir instead of program files

Has anyone ever had problems getting the crash reporter to show up in packaged builds? I basically just realized I should've been seeing the same crash reporter I can see in the editor when my packaged build crashes but that's not the case.

That's extremely weird - you don't normally want blurred textures, bad antialiasing or disabled shadows. If you want extreme performance there are saner options, like forward rendering with baked lighting

Depends which, but generally speaking inis are runtime-modifiable

#

You'd load the config, change the var and save it

woeful relic Aug 3, 2022, 9:04 AM

It's a setting to a filepath

#

Yeah, but I can't find the config file in the packaged build

#

Or can I put it in Game.ini file?

mellow bane Aug 3, 2022, 9:05 AM

#

You don't need to find anything

#

Get the UObject that has the Config for it, edit value, call SaveConfig

The reason for the project not being able to cook or package, would be line 108 in "FWGChunk", where "DestroyComponent" is called, right?

yes but I don't know why an actor would have to manually destroy its components

inland onyx Aug 8, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

winged moss yes but I don't know why an actor would have to manually destroy its components

It's being called in the ~AFWGChunk, so the destructor of the actor(?)

And I'm actually not sure why it's being called 🤔

winged moss Aug 8, 2022, 1:24 PM

#

because it was being GC'd

#

so the destructor will be called for the actor

inland onyx Aug 8, 2022, 1:26 PM

I guess I could do without the DestroyComponent(?), it's just calling it for some triggerboxes

I am new to Unreal and trying to get a better understanding of difference between building a pak and executing the compileAllBlueprints cmdlet. The goal is to create a CI pipeline that is faster than building the full pak.

Currently my team can build a pak and run our "game" without errors however the 'UEditor-cmd.exe -run=compileallblueprints' cmdlet fails with many errors
example 'Error: Detected key mismatch in uber graph frame for instance <name> of type <type>, iteration will be unsafe'
we are using Unreal 4.22
why would our pak build not need to compile the same blueprints and also fail?

In my CPP file for DiceCharacter

Hello, I'm new to UE (and using UE5), I'm learning to package a tutorial game in windows. I'd like an EXE of the project so I don't have to load UE to play it. I can package it up, but when I run the executable after a couple pop-ups requesting some permissions, the load halts at this error,

gleaming mason Hello, I'm new to UE (and using UE5), I'm learning to package a tutorial game in...

Try disabling the Plugin if you dont require it

#

Try copying the project from Engine/Plugins to Project/Plugins and try again

#

Also Try adding a Cpp class and then recompile

#

one of the solution should work

gleaming mason Aug 9, 2022, 5:22 PM

#

Thx for the reply. To disable the plugin I do what?
The copying should be done in main project, or in the packaged version?
Add a cpp class to do what? IE, create a cpp 'bridge'? I'm a little unsure how to go about that, but I can experiment.

wicked rampart Aug 9, 2022, 5:23 PM

Will DM you

Hello, does anyone know how to fix this issue that appears during game packaging:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogPackageName: Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: '/VertexAnimToolset/VertexAnimFunctions/ExtractAnimData_Pivot_Interp' is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name. Reason: Path does not start with a valid root. Path must begin with: '/Engine/'...

It seems like it's some issue with the VertexAnimToolset plugin that I use, but I can see and open the material functions that are listed as errors just fine. The game also runs as intended, only the packaging is problematic.

wicked rampart Aug 11, 2022, 6:00 PM

#

Try unticking the plugin while packaging?

#

Looks like a editor plugin

#

Or may be you no longer have that plugin?

hollow isle Aug 11, 2022, 6:11 PM

#

I tried unticking it but then it starts complaining that the functions can't be detected (since plugin is disabled). I tried both installing this plugin into the engine, then into the project, then both. Nothing seems to solve the issue

#

I also tried deleting Intermediate, Config and Saved and regenerating the files, but the error is still there

wicked rampart Aug 11, 2022, 6:12 PM

Is reference missing in your project?

Try running -FixupRedirectors once

is it a BP only or cpp?

are you trying to build a update?

#

Also lots of missing files

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 2:25 PM

#

PDB files can be reverse engineered to a extent.

Also why do you have to include pdb files in shipping build

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 2:30 PM

#

wicked rampart Also why do you have to include pdb files in shipping build

Many players are getting fatal crashes at certain times

#

And I can’t reproduce it

#

So I want at least some kind of log

#

As opposed to just “fatal crash”

#

Or 0xfffffff memory invalid

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

You can ask them to share crash dumps and then figure out yourself

#

Wont wont that work?

#

Also setting up Crash Reporter should let you know the retail crashes right?

#

Not sure how this works though, but thats the functionality

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 2:45 PM

#

wicked rampart You can ask them to share crash dumps and then figure out yourself

All they get is a window saying “fatal error” when it crashes

#

If I use the crash reporter, do I also need to include debug files?

#

Since the crash reporter isn’t very helpful if it just gives you a memory address with no context

mystic atlas Aug 12, 2022, 3:06 PM

#

You want the crash dump which you then load up in VS

#

You don't need them to have the debug files for you to do that.

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

How will VS debug without PDB file?

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

swift cargo If I use the crash reporter, do I also need to include debug files?

No

#

You need to configure in a way that It will send the minidump to server you specify

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

mystic atlas You don't need _them_ to have the debug files for you to do that.

I don't mind having them if they help

just want to make sure it won't expose any sensitive code

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 3:21 PM

Crash dumps can be found here : %localappdata%\CrashDumps

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:21 PM

What does pdb expose?

that otherwise wouldn't be?

The game is already shipped

and the bugs aren't reproducible by me.

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:31 PM

#

swift cargo The game is already shipped

well you need the PDBs for the released version so you can view the dump at all

#

NEVER distribute PDBs to the public

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:33 PM

#

winged moss well you need the PDBs for the released version so you can view the dump at all

Ok, so if I'm understanding correctly, the PDB file is uploaded to the crash reporting server.

#

While the client only includes the crash reporter

#

and that PDB on the backend translates the raw crash?

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:34 PM

this is windows debugging 101

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:34 PM

Sorry, I'm a web dev who got into game development

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:34 PM

a PDB is a symbol file, that is able to translate dumps into something readable

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

all i know about are stack traces

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:34 PM

it's also useful for debugging a running process

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:36 PM

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:36 PM

#

I mean package the game in order to get the .pdb files to upload to Sentry

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 3:36 PM

you only package once with PDBs

#

when you upload to steam or wherever your game lives, you just exclude the PDB files from the upload

swift cargo Aug 12, 2022, 3:37 PM

Gotcha

wicked rampart Aug 12, 2022, 3:38 PM

So PDBs are compile specific, Even if you dont make any change, PDB of one compile wont work with another compile

wicked rampart Assuming CrashReport Config file is the one you are mentioning about

It's strange because Sentry says you need to compile from source to edit it. But it makes no sense since you can override the values in the project level DefaultEngine.ini.

Either way, setting up Backtrace now.

winged moss Aug 12, 2022, 4:05 PM

no?

ok, so this is weird
last time i said that there's no error or anything but the game doesn't start at all
that was when i had C++ code in the project
i removed it so it's purely blueprints and now i do get an error when crashing
it says that a plugin that i made is missing a module and can't find it
but the module is right there and everything in my plugin compiles just fine
when removing the plugin, the game actually works
however, i really need this plugin working so i can't do that

this is the whole screen and i can't figure the issue out

got some good news
i found out what causes the game to instantly crash
in one of my plugin's modules, i have a static variable of type ISocketSubsystem
and in my cpp i set it to ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)
that is the thing causing my issues
if i set the variable to nullptr then the game starts

so there we go, i found the root of the problem
for some reason, ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM) makes the game crash in a packaged build, but works just fine in the editor

what could i do about this? i do need that part of code so i can create objects of type FInternetAddr

wicked rampart Aug 13, 2022, 1:52 PM

Try asking in #cpp

mystic atlas Aug 13, 2022, 1:57 PM

Have you tried debugging your packaged game (yes, you can do this quite easily) to see where the problem is?

tawny spoke Aug 13, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

i don't know how i could debug the packaged game

#

if it involves attaching something to the process, that wouldn't work because the game doesn't start at all, not even an error message that pops up

#

the weirdest thing for me is that the code compiles perfectly but that part just breaks everything. i don't even have to do anything with the property
i tested that by removing the affected module and defining it in another module. that still breaks, so i know for certain that ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM) is the issue

You don't "add a breakpoint to the exe"

The breakpoint you add to your code. If the pdb file is there, it will automaticlaly use your solution to debug the exe.

It works just like any other project you start from VS

tawny spoke Aug 13, 2022, 2:27 PM

So I'm having issues with packaging our linux server via the BuildCookRun command. It works just fine when packaging via the Project Launcher in the editor, but as soon as I try to run that same exact command in PowerShell (via a .bat file) outside of the editor, cooking fails. I've turned on verbose logging and I get nothing helpful. The only thing that seems relevant is this: Plugin 'AutoSettings' failed to load because module 'AutoSettings' could not be found. Then the log line immediately after says LogCore: Engine exit requested (reason: EngineExit() was called). What's odd though is when I disable that plugin, it just fails to load the next plugin, then the next, etc. Until it says that it's failing to load the project module. So I'm not sure if this is what's causing the build to fail or not, but I also don't no how to go a bout solving that error if it is causing it. My gut is telling me that some code is trying to reference something from a module before it's loaded.

When i'm packaging my project, i guess the BP are compiled, those BP use tags added from C++ but the native tag adder function is called later so there is an error saying my tags doesn't exists.

LogPackageName: Warning: FPackagePath::TryFromMountedName was passed an ObjectPath (/Game/nverse/Avatar/Neia/Ability/Shield/GA_Neia_Shield.GA_Neia_Shield) rather than a PackageName or FilePath; it will be converted to the PackageName. Accepting ObjectPaths is deprecated behavior and will be removed in a future release; TryFromMountedName will fail on ObjectPaths.

Maybe that's not related to the packaging but i have this warning i don't understand

raw timber Aug 14, 2022, 7:31 PM

The Signing Certificate you select in your Project Settings must match the one used to generate your Provisioning Profile, otherwise your project will fail to package.

I get this while launching UAT during a project launcher build., what causes it?

#

this always happens with windows builds, it must not happen to other people because there's no indication of how to fix it

#

is there a way to package without that error or is that it?

fuck, I just remembered what causes it. unreal doesn't like having a copy of a plugin in the engine and in the project folder

that was it

it could be a lot better

hi, im trying to submit my project in the marketplace and its the second time i receive this issue where it says that “Your product looks to only contain 117 unique meshes. While the rest of your 2000+ meshes are just duplicates that need to be removed. When we say unique, we mean a mesh that has a different design than the other meshes within the level. So only changing the scale, Textures, or Materials on a already existing mesh, is not considered to be unique.” (image)
Basically the project consists in 117 unique meshes with some variations of color making a total of 2000+ assets, i have already that specified on the project description but still have the same issue

winged moss why are you trying to build a server for a chiefly single player sample project?

it's all replicated and added code for dedicated server

nova kraken Aug 24, 2022, 4:51 AM

#

winged moss also by the looks of it, that is also assuming a correctly setup source build

it's working with other blank project

Greetings! I've ran into a little bit of trouble with the packaged build of my game. The game works great in PIE, however when I'm running a packaged build some blueprints just stop working as like it skips certain commands and events, returns 0 values of variables etc. I think it might be connected with me clearing the Saved folder. I backed it up and try puting back the Config folder into saved but to no effect. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Any idea why my packaged project is crashing? It appears to be calling FClassFinder Recursively. From a bit of research I've found that it could have something to do with the BindWidget meta tag used in my Menu class. Is there a better way of handling things than the Bind Widget or am I misinterpreting this error?

first time trying to using a nativized blueprint when packaging - got many errors - why is the include in the wrong spot?

Currently packaging my project, it's in the 'Compiling Shaders' stage and has been for like an hour but the number of shaders keeps going up. Is this normal?

yes, but when you package it again you shouldn't have to compile them anymore - I had one time that packaged about 25k shaders

Oh wow! Good to know it won't take that long after the first time though. Thanks very much. :)

Does chunking hard references only cause larger chunk? My project went up by 40 mb almost

Hi, everytime I do small changes an package my game it takes very long. I noticed that the command taking the most time is 'ARCHIVE COMMAND'. I remember that in the past, that packaging after a small change usually was very fast.

#

should I use the project launcher instead?

proper chasm Aug 26, 2022, 3:34 PM

Hi guys, is it normal when I package I got a lot of errors related to stuff that is deleted and no longer exist in the project ?
It's trying to load and access deleted references and assets ?

Also how can you Identify what caused the package to fail ?

debug the cooker? are you using a custom UAnimInstance class that uses sparse data?

Hey ! Coming from the same problem as yesterday : Does someone know why the grooms from my character are available everywhere in the editor / in play mode, but not when I package my game ? Thank you a lot ! 😉

this is still specific to your game. how are the assets referenced?

indigo jackal Aug 26, 2022, 9:25 PM

What do you mean by referenced ?

#

They are parented to my character

winged moss Aug 26, 2022, 9:25 PM

#

assets have to be referenced in some way to be packaged

#

and if you have some weird way of referencing the assets then add the containing directory to the list of directories to always package

long shot but why not, when i package my game for android, the packaging works fine. I even do it inside a directory inside the project.
When i try to do it through the projectLauncher as per: https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Mobile/MobilePackagingWizard/
I get errors for failure to copy a manifest file.

ERROR: Failed to copy "D:\Custom Unreal Projects\Sphero_A\DLC\HTTPchunks\DLC1.0\Android_ETC2\CloudDir"\Sphero_A_Sphero_ADLC1.0.manifest to D:\Custom Unreal Projects\Sphero_A\DLC\HTTPchunks\DLC1.0\Android_ETC2\ManifestDir\Sphero_A_Sphero_ADLC1.0.manifest
ERROR: System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.```
The weird bit is that it should work but fails and if i copy paste it myself, it deletes it and fails anyways....

Hi! Trying to package project for Windows, but as soon as I hit the button, it sends me to a doc page, that is 404.
(https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/Tutorial/Installation/InstallingVisualStudioTutorial.InstallingVisualStudioTutorial)

I have launcher 4.26, all the compilers are there, project is c++. I do not have VS though, I use Rider.
4.27 and 5 start packaging normally, but not 4.26.

Does anybody know, why it might happed? Do not really want to package through console commands.

I was wondering, is it possible to control what goes into a .pak file? as I am developing there will be things that get updates and things that won't

#

i figured it would be better to only give out the delta of the changes not an entirely new .pak file

how are you verifying this and what is the setting? it would be impossible for it to be missing because it forces the cooker to cook them
