packaging

[versed smelt]

I get his when I open the dmp file and don't know how to proceed from there

[deep moss]

does an editor build include PDB files? I dont know, I usuaully build from c++ and source, so we get the PDB to get the full callstack.

[versed smelt]

I found these files inside the packaged project folder

location

[junior tendon]

Is there any reason why packaging a game would have the wrong inputs? My packaged build has inputs different than what are in my project settings.

remove this bracket from (project)

you have to setup key store

[velvet turret]

like this?

[deep bane]

Yep

[velvet turret]

done that..made a keystore...added it and set the project for distribution

[glossy plume]

Hi was wondering if some one is able to help please. I'm trying to package a game and keep getting this error

UATHelper: Packaging (Android (Multi:ASTC,DXT,ETC2)): error: An organization slug is required (provide with --org)

I have created the Keystore file but not a clue what I'm missing here as I'm new to packaging on android.

Thank you in advanced for any help!

Hello, my multiplayer server travel works fine when playing in editor or playing standalone, but when i package the game, i can't use the server travel, simply nothing happens when i click my start game button
This command

No problems in PIE

[winged moss]

did you package the map?

[azure ginkgo]

How to enable R8/proguard?

[gritty rampart]

There is no code obfuscation in app bundles built with Unreal Engine

[proven oyster]

I didn’t think server travel commands work in pie (you should get an error saying server travel cannot execute in editor) (if editor is running as client connected to a standalone process for listen server I think it will work)

You running separate process?

Also what version engine?

[nova lion]

Can you build for ubuntu 22 on windows 2019? little confused as to what I need here

surely you can build yourself a server only dedicated build inside a container headless or something at the very least?

i found the documentation, my bad.

[azure ginkgo]

never gave that warning before.

[fleet kraken]

it works fine. It is packaged build that doesn't work

[fleet kraken]

Both clients run as standalone, and one creates session as listen server

[fleet kraken]

5.1

i think i found my problem though

according to logs, the map can't be found

[empty spindle]

So I’ve packaged my project successfully, but now apparently it needs to be converted to a zip file in order to upload to steam & itch.io. Can someone please refer me to a tutorial on how to do that. When I tried, then after attempted to open my original exe, it says “Failed to open”

[proven oyster]

So I finally got asset labels outputting pakcunks in ue5.1 but now there is a pakchunk0optional along side pakchunk0 …. Anyone have information on what this is specifically? Docs regarding it?

[hasty vale]

Is there any difference between using File->Package Project and Window->Project Launcher?

[dusky fossil]

I'm trying to update to 5.1, it works fine on my machine but my build server is throwing this .NET error NETSDK1045, I've looked online but not found what .NET stuff needs to be installed to fix it. Has anyone else seen this?
Full error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.407\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets(141,5): error NETSDK1045: The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 6.0.  Either target .NET 5.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 6.0.

I've installed the .NET SDK 6.0, the .NET 6.0 thing, Visual Studio 2022... Rebooted my machine.. Kind of running out of ideas.

[trail willow]

I'm working with a data asset and I can't figure out why it's always packaged even though I have a primary data asset that is supposed to label it as Never Cook

everything else in the directory labelled by the PrimaryDataAsset doesn't cook except for the Data Asset

is this an issue with data assets in general? i cant figure it out

I can see nothing references the data asset

[trail willow]

ah I think the issue was that the data asset had an FText field and that messed it up somehow

[trail willow]

no that didnt fix it

im out of ideas

[dusky fossil]

In 5.0 we have builds that are 500mb, but 5.1 is 2gb. It looks like it used to only package what is referenced, but in 5.1 it's packaging everything? Did anything major change in 5.1 that might have caused this? I haven't found anything in the change list

[wind crown]

did you find out?

[azure ginkgo]

Working on it

[wind crown]

i think it is enabled on deafult

how have you checked on wether it is enabled or not?

package a project ( shipping/ for disturbiting settings) and open android studio in the gradle folder of the packaged project

then check if it is enabled or not

[azure ginkgo]

If enabled by default it shouldn't give warning on Play Console

[wind crown]

what is the warning?

and had you this issue on lower versions than 5.1?

[wind crown]

is the warning on 5.1 version?

[azure ginkgo]

I don't know exactly which version

I lowered minSDK from 27 to 21

[wind crown]

i mean ue5 version

eh?

[azure ginkgo]

UE4

[wind crown]

why?

min sdk 26 is fine

[azure ginkgo]

To have more devices available obv

[wind crown]

very small percent of users will use sdk26 and below

plus those devices are slow and will just cause crashes and anrs. which will reduce your app visibility in the play store

[azure ginkgo]

oh I see

[wind crown]

check how much devices at low android versions?

they are very few

like 0.1%

not worth it

make ur min sdk 26

[mystic atlas]

Targetting 10+ seems like a good standard.

[wind crown]

solve the other warnings as well. the first warning esp

[azure ginkgo]

10+ what?

[wind crown]

nah there is some tablets which still on android 8

and min 10 is too high. 8 is pretty good spot

[mystic atlas]

Did you see the chart?

[azure ginkgo]

Sorry, misunderstood

[azure ginkgo]

Thought 10+ Android versions

[wind crown]

in another game i had 4k users.
only 2% are android 7 and below

@mystic atlas do you make games for android also?

[mystic atlas]

Nope

[azure ginkgo]

Even Fortnite sets 8.0 as minimum. Not so good standard

[wind crown]

yes. as isaid 8 is the good spot

[azure ginkgo]

what's your ANR and crash rate

[mystic atlas]

Depends what you're doing I guess. If FN can run on 8, why target much above that?

[wind crown]

how to check? its been a while since i opened google play console

let me login and see

[azure ginkgo]

You don't make for Android as primary platform?

[wind crown]

i do

[azure ginkgo]

It's on the Dashboard

[wind crown]

i know, but im reffering to the rate

[azure ginkgo]

also in Dashboard

[wind crown]

🤷‍♂️

i dont have that graph

i have the crash and anrs as a details panel

[azure ginkgo]

You can add it to Dashboard somewhere in settings

[wind crown]

yep. that what i was talking about

@azure ginkgo how did you get the graph?

[azure ginkgo]

@wind crown Should be setup button on Dashboard.

[wind crown]

i dont have it.

mind sharing screenshots? that might help

[azure ginkgo]

Share screenshot

Does packaging nativized normally take significantly longer then just doing a blueprint only package? I usually work in blueprint. Thought I would do a native package. To see how much better it performs. And the package is way longer.

[wind crown]

packageing nativized?

ue4?

[flint roost]

yeah ue4 packaging using the native blueprints option

[azure ginkgo]

Package is longer?

[flint roost]

yeah so when I package my project to be played by the average player. Usually not long. Turn on the native blueprints option. That converts your blueprints to c++. And it has been a lot longer. A lot longer.

[wind crown]

dont use that option. it is expermintal and bugged

i dont suggest using it

[flint roost]

Usually only takes about 15 minutes. This time it has been hours.

[wind crown]

i clicked on that

[azure ginkgo]

Nativization seems to be dead

[flint roost]

ohh poop. Docs said it made things faster so it looked interesting

[wind crown]

@azure ginkgo

[azure ginkgo]

better write it in C++.

[azure ginkgo]

You have few installs?

[wind crown]

on this specific account yes. 1.1k

why?

[flint roost]

So I'm not against this idea. I just think doing that all of a sudden a few years in on the project could be bad. I would have to start again wouldn't I?

Or is there a way to convert what I have to c++?

[wind crown]

i think UE 5.1 has that feature

did not use it yet

blueprint header thing

[azure ginkgo]

It just shows 1 user on the stat

[wind crown]

coz i dont have many anrs/crashes

that 1 crash is my device btw

it is a development hidden bug

so how can i get the graph?

@azure ginkgo

[warped frost]

hey guys i am looking for someone who can help me package a game ASAP i will pay

[winged moss]

why don't you just ask the question

[weak scaffold]

No, you can add a C++ class at any time to a project. You can create a blueprint function library in C++ if you don't want to reparent classes

But you can also reparent classes without too much trouble

It's not a start from scratch all or nothing decision

[winged moss]

easier in 5.1 though

if you add a native property to a class the same name as a BP property, it'll actually fix it up for you now instead of creating versions of the variable with _1 appended to the name

[flint roost]

that is great news for me. Thanks mate. I will start looking into this now.

[deep moss]

Where do we change "BootstrapPackagedGame"?

I'm doing a full source 5.1 clean Shipping build via the command line - and it keeps that?

When I hover over the .exe - it has this

[fleet kraken]

Getting this error on my packaged game, using steam online subsystem.

[errant dock]

I'm trying to package my project, but it is packaging in development mode instead of shipping even if shipping is set in the project settings or it is manually selected. Have anyone encountered something like this before? I would appreciate any suggestions. (UE 5.0.3)

[hearty crypt]

Why it stuck at this? I'm using blank scaleable tps template

[hidden stirrup]

Hi, has anyone here ever had issues with C++ derived blueprints that do appear in the editor but not in a packaged build?

[dusky fossil]

Yeah that usually means that nothing is referencing them so they're not being included in the cooking process

[hidden stirrup]

Actually... I found out why but can't comprehend why.

So for some reason a C++ blueprint that has a box collider as the root component will not package correctly. Im currently making an issue on the Epic Dev Community site for it.

[dusky fossil]

Did you change the root component at some point? I've found in the past if I change the root component on something, any blueprints that were saved before the change become kind of broken. I have to re-make them from scratch with the new root component.

I'm looking around for docs on the Io Store option but there's not much online, does anyone know what it does?

[mystic atlas]

If you change the class of components in a blueprint, you totally break them.

(c++ defined components)

[dusky fossil]

If you change the class and preserve the name? Changing the root component is different isn't it?

[mystic atlas]

I mean going into a blueprint subclass and changing the type of a c++ defined component.

The same as you'd do with the object initializer in c++ to change the cmc component type, for instance.

It might have been fixed, but before it would brick your component.

[fast pendant]

hello guys having this error while packaging my android game

[formal bone]

I got this error for the first time while packaging the game. Anyone knows what's up?

[unique harbor]

Hey all! I just packaged my game and it runs fine on my computer, but when I said it to a friend it says he doesn't have Microsoft visual c++ runtime. He plays games normally so I'd assume it was already installed?

Any ideas on the issue? Or maybe it's something with how I packaged it?

Or is that pretty typical

[knotty cedar]

😄 hello, randomly my game cant package anymore, its weird because i didnt change anything.
Can someone help me?

[mystic atlas]

It's telling you what the error is right there.

It's not highlighted in red, though.

[knotty cedar]

i dont really understand it

[mystic atlas]

You are not allowed to package Editor-only code.

Your project links to Editor-only code

[knotty cedar]

I have never heard about that, so what can i do to fix this?

[mystic atlas]

Stop linking to editor only code.

In this case, it's UMGEditor.

If you have some sort of editor-only widget thing, you can exclude it from non-editor builds with a few tricks.

If you are trying to use editor-only code in your game, you need to change it to stop using that code.

[knotty cedar]

well i want to exclude it from the my game

how do i do that?

[mystic atlas]

Take out UMGEditor from your module.build.cs and add these lines: if (Target.Type == TargetRules.TargetType.Editor) { PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "UMGEditor" }); }

I'm assuming you're using a c++ project.

If it's BP, I'm not sure how to help.

Anyway, then you have to enclose all bits of code that reference UMGEditor with #if WITH_EDITOR #endif

[knotty cedar]

how should i do that?

[mystic atlas]

Try packaging.

Every error that pops up concerning link errors -> you need to exclude.

Like I said, this is assuming you have a c++ project and know about about c++ to copy+paste into a text file.

[knotty cedar]

it says this

[knotty cedar]

yes i have c++

[mystic atlas]

Then you didn't change your build.cs file

[knotty cedar]

i did

[mystic atlas]

Then you may need to recompile with the editor closed.

Try compiling in a non-editor configuration.

You can fix it direct from your IDE

[knotty cedar]

i go in my IDE and build it?

[mystic atlas]

Yes. With the editor closed.

[knotty cedar]

still the same error

[mystic atlas]

That isn't your IDE output log.

[knotty cedar]

it doesnt give me any errors in the IDE i think

[mystic atlas]

What configuration are you building in?

[knotty cedar]

in shipping

[mystic atlas]

Delete your intermediate and binaries folders.

That'll force it to rebuild.

[knotty cedar]

yes i did

so now i have to rebuild in the IDE again?

[mystic atlas]

In VS? Right click on your project name in the solution explorer and hit build.

That is the most sure solution.

[knotty cedar]

now i got something new

[mystic atlas]

Close VS. Right click your uproject file and do "generate project files" or "generate solution" something like that.

Then open the project again.

Anyway, I'm out. Stuff to do. Good luck!

[knotty cedar]

ah shit, but thank you much for your help tho

I'm using UE 5.0.3 and I'm trying to package my game for Windows 10, but it's still executing after 10 hours. It hasn't hung because messages are still arriving in the output log about once per hour (currently processing DerivedDataCache).

Hey Guys can idk if this is the right chat but can you help me fix this issue if it can be fixed (or I need PC upgrade)

1. In ue4 4.27 I was able to run compilation with all available logic or physical cores
2. Then it started just before I switch to 5- 5.1 and not I see this calculation
3. I have 32GB RAM + 5900X (12 cores / 24 Threads)
4. I was pointed that I should change the target C# file but I guess I didn't set it up properly
   THE PROBLEM: How to set specific amount of GB per process so that more actions are used ?

[zenith musk]

if i package my project for client and server build, it ends up eating a lot of space when its completed. so if i re package again after making some changes, should i repackage after deleting the intermediate and build folder? and also the staged build folder in saved ?

[zenith musk]

can anyone tell me?

[mystic atlas]

You can safely delete your intermediate, build and binary folders. If space is an issue, go for it. It's likely to just create the same files again, though, unless you've deleted source files.

[smoky kayak]

Hey nerds 😄 - Have any of you had problems with Linux not showing up as an available way of building your project. Using Source version, and i have installed the 5.1 cross compiling version, however after checking the env. var. is set correct, and making a full restart of the system (windows), there is still no Linux option showing up under packaging

No ideas anyone? It's now been packaging for 33 hours. It hasn't hung because these messages have been logged in the last 3 hours:

It's weird, because the last time I packaged it (a couple of months ago) it took 10 minutes using 5.0 on the same machine. I've added more assets since then - and also enabled nanite - but it shouldn't suddenly change from 10 minutes to 33 hours.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand how to playtest a simple puzzle game on iOS. Is it possible to Build to my iphone while using Unreal on Windows? Just for testing purposes.. and I mean not via the Unreal Remove app

I'd like to test some gestures that would only work on a touch screen, like Pinch to zoom

[wind crown]

Fixed this yet?
Google admob/ads enabled? Disable it if it's enabled

[fiery pilot]

No, it's been running for 57 hours now. 😦 Google ads aren't enabled. I'm still seeing these DerivedDataCache messages though, so it's doing something...

[wind crown]

Delete intermediate folder.
Deleted the cooked and the android folders in the "saved" folder

Delete any android related folders/files in binaries

What's your spec?

If no luck then

Create new EMPTY project
Create a new empty map in it (black map nothing in it )
Then go to settings and tick "cook only maps" and add ur new empty map ONLY to the list

Then set it to shipping export not development

If it works then good. Migrate the entire project into the new working project and package

If not. Then keep trying with it until i get on my laptop and help you out!

[fiery pilot]

Hey, thanks for the suggestions! I'll try these as soon as possible (in a couple of hours). I've already tried deleting /Intermediate but it didn't help. I don't have any android folders - all my target platforms are disabled except Windows.

hmmm, it is not a spec issue it seems to

I would spilt the project content into chunks and package

how many levels you have in the project?
for example say you have 4 levels.

go to the settings and package only 1 level. and cook. if it works then there is an issue with the other levels ( and the realted content to it )

if not, move to the other level ( the second level ) and so on

until you find which level and its content is cuasing this issue

[fiery pilot]

Thanks @wind crown, there are actually 4 levels in the project right now. I'll give that a try.

Hey, thanks so much for your help - I've tracked down the cause of the issue now: it was a plugin I bought during the Black Friday sale. When I remove the plugin, the project packages in a few minutes. I've written to the developers and sent them the logs.

Your suggestion about packaging just one level at a time was what led me to that plugin, so thanks again, I really appreciate your help. 🙏 ♥️

Hi, currently here seeking guidance on how to get packaging for WinGDK working. I'm in the Creators Program and have a game project made, but I can't properly contact Microsoft to get access to the Xbox side of things.

i see alot of people talking about turning Unity off during builds, to help pick up on missing includes etc earlier.

yep - the bUseUnity = false thing. (not Unity the game engine)

[wicked rampart]

So you need pbd files and you need to build along that with package @surreal matrix

[surreal matrix]

yep that's what im doing rn but VS is taking way too long to load them

currently im just waiting for them to load so i can debug the issue properly

[wicked rampart]

🧐 probably 2 to 3 mins max

Oh alright then.

[surreal matrix]

really!? it's been like 30 - 40 mins rn

i only have an hdd but still that's a lot

[wicked rampart]

It should not take that long .

[surreal matrix]

hmmm ig i did something wrong

these folders apeared i dont think they should exist

apart from D3D12 that always been there

[wicked rampart]

I guess you did something wrong here. You need PDB only for your exe

[surreal matrix]

omg i just noticed what i did wrong

i thought that said to specify which folder to load symbols from

not cache

fml

🤦‍♂️

[wicked rampart]

You need to Tick Include Debug Files Option while packaging

5th Checkbox under Project.

[surreal matrix]

ok 🤔

ig i will do that

VS wont complain about missing symbol files, right?

[wicked rampart]

Yes once you do that, Load Symbols and VS wont complain about missing pdb / symbol files

[surreal matrix]

alright thanks!

[abstract escarp]

Is there a discussion channel on packaging for proprietary platforms like PS5? The private forums are there but it’s really inactive …

I’m bringing it up in general since you need special permission to access the source code so I don’t know if there is something in place to connect these people on UnrealSlackers

[surreal matrix]

ok so i fixed the issue and it was with the print string in metasound that caused the crash lol.

[dreamy scaffold]

I got a line that says: LogInit: Display: Failure - 1 error(s), 41 warning(s). I got the log but I'm just not sure what to look for before pasting stuff here.

what should I be looking for when trying to find a fix problems that stop me from packaging a project?

[winged moss]

searching the log for the word "error" will help

[dreamy scaffold]

thx the two biggest issues were with dlss plugin and an unused bp that I can delete for now

[abstract escarp]

Ik... but they really should have a channel covering console development and proof because forums are pretty bad for responses

[wicked rampart]

I believe anything and everything under devkits comes under NDA and we arent supposed to discuss outside respective console forums

[snow glacier]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to make a shipping build of my game but the entire uproject and editor plugins/etc gets included with the shipping build! I'm not sure what to do to sort it, it suddenly started happening after I cloned my project to have a backup.

[spare comet]

Hi, trying to package my vr project into an apk for the quest 2, due to high number of assets and levels my obb files are exceeding 4gb limit and packaging is failing. is there any way to exceed this limit or create asset bundles/ expansion obbs in unreal ?

[wicked rampart]

Umm That can be done

Force Small OBB and Allow OBB Patching and Chunks should do the trick

[spare comet]

allow large obb, patch obb and overflow obb is on, upon packaging it fails and gives a size limit error : Stage Failed. Could not build OBB ;The file may be too big to fit in an OBB (4 GiB limit)

when forcing small obb files it gives similar error : Stage Failed. Could not build OBB ;The file may be too big to fit in an OBB (1 GiB limit)

[wraith spindle]

While cooking my project in UE5.0.3, I am running into the following error. Does anyone experienced this error before? I can provide the entire log and my project launcher settings if necessary. The project is based on the third person template with one third party plugin, but since the error doesn't reference the plugin, it is probably something with the engine

[proper void]

I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with this

[desert anchor]

I'm building a project for dedicated server, shipping stage for Win64, when I run the built project MyProjectServer.exe with -log nothing print in cmd but if i build it for development and run the MyProjectServer.exe with -log, everything works perfectly, any idea what could cause this?

This is the command that i'm building the project with

RunUAT BuildCookRun -project="%CD%/MyProject.uproject" -noP4 -platform=Win64 -clientconfig=Shipping -serverconfig=Shipping -cook -clean -distribution -NoXGE -compressed -server -serverplatform=Win64 -noclient -NoCompile -stage -pak -archive -archivedirectory="%CD%/Build/WindowsServer"

[deep moss]

yep - "logs" are not enabled in a shipping build by default.

You need to enable them to be included in your shipping build in the source code

[desert anchor]

@deep moss i see... okay, are you talking about bBuildAdditionalConsoleApp?

I do have bBuildAdditionalConsoleApp = false disabled in Server Target, cause it just make the build size larger

[deep moss]

no - its USE_LOGGING_IN_SHIPPING or something like that

[desert anchor]

where do you use/set that?

[deep moss]

in your {Game}Server.Target.cs

you do

        Type = TargetType.Server;
        bUseLoggingInShipping = true;
                ...

[desert anchor]

oh okay, let me try that

hmm... now it dies before throwing any error

didn't even make log file in saved folder

[desert anchor]

okay, it asked me to change to BuildEnvironment = TargetBuildEnvironment.Unique and i did it, and build again

it built successfully, but when i run it, it throws critical error

it's more like engine error

[wicked rampart]

No debugs?

[desert anchor]

I run the .exe with -log tag, and this is the log in the saved folder,

how can I debug a .exe project?

[wicked rampart]

Not sure about server part but when you build with VS you will generate PDB Files right and once EXE crashes will generate a crashdump

[desert anchor]

i see, the .dmp file in saved folder

[mystic atlas]

If you're using VS, you can add the exe as an "external project" or whatever it is and then run/debug it direct from VS

[desert anchor]

Okay, I think I'm missing out lots of VS features, thanks for sharing

[celest mountain]

Is there anything I could do about this? I'm packaging the project for Windows.

Unreal Engine 5.1

[desert anchor]

I tried open exe in vs, it creates a solution and I can run the debug

should I be able to see the call stack? cause it's empty

[mystic atlas]

You should add it to your already existing solution.

[desert anchor]

oh okay

[mystic atlas]

And if you've packaged your game, it has probably stripped away a lot of debugging information.

[desert anchor]

yeah, i think for shipping stage it does remove all that, but let me try to run the exe in my existing vs solution

@mystic atlas how do you add exe to external project as you mentioned? not from file > add > new project, i'm not making another project right?

[mystic atlas]

I believe so

[desert anchor]

i see... okay

and i can use UnrealVS to run the command

[mystic atlas]

I guess?

[desert anchor]

yeah, okay, it works, though UnrealVS doesn't pass on the commands and it doesn't show call stack as well, even for development stage

but it's something i can explore

thanks

Hi just have a question about Unreal Engines ProjectLauncher, so I know the basic way of making a patch for my project and how to copy the Custom Launch Profile from one engine version to another. Now I have the problem that I have an copy of my project updated from 4.25 to 4.27 but when I am trying to create a Patch for it, it fails or ignores comply the previews version so is making just one big pak. Is this even possible or do my player base have to re download the entire project as soon as I am Upgrading the Engine version?

Thanks in advance

Does only the texture don"t load so does it only show the default tile Material or does the entire Mesh don"t show up?

[crisp patrol]

According to this link: https://stefanperales.com/blog/ue4-quick-tip-logging-in-shipping-builds/ you can use bUseLoggingInShipping = true; in launcher builds of the editor by simply putting bOverrideBuildEnvironment = true; alongside it in your Target.cs

Is this true as when I tested it, the build failed

Heyyy guys I have a weird problem when I try to package. They say me : "Platform IOS is not a valid platform to build. Check that the SDK is installed properly." But before I set up the packaging for android it worked well. Anyone know what's happen ?

[plain lodge]

I have a question. What exactly is the purpose of encrypting your pak files and such? Online I read that no matter what people can still easily rip your assets anyway by reading gpu memory and such. Is there any advantage to be gained by using encryption at all? Or is it just a completely useless feature as people mention?

The fix should be pretty obvious...

Toggle that flag on in the material.

Hello) I have published the game in the "coming soon" section on Steam. I also downloaded the build of the game but I don't know how to update it. I'm using Steam Pipe, creating a new depot and uploading the build via Steam Pipe. But it still says that no packages of this program are associated with this repository. Please help, thanks in advance

[gloomy badger]

When you package, you can specify which maps to include, and unreal will only package the assets used in those maps, to set this up, simply go to the Packaging category in your Project Settings and look for “List of maps to include in packaged build” and only include the maps you want in the packaged game

I won’t guarantee that this will get you down to 2GB but it’ll help

Another thing is, if you have very high res textures, you can limit their maximum sizes in the asset’s details panel

With these, you can hopefully get it down to 2

[gloomy badger]

Reading gpu memory can be a method of ripping assets but the results won’t be as perfect as directly taking them out of the game, it requires quite a bit of boring fixes so boring that you’d rather just remake it(especially characters), encrypting your game means that it’ll be harder for people to directly extract assets from your game unless they REALLY know their way around computers, you can also change the key every update to invalidate anyone who managed to figure it out so I wouldn’t say it’s completely useless

[plain lodge]

Hmmm ok thanks for the answer!

Did you do anything differently? Start a UE 5.1 update? Merged to a new version? Anything alike that could help me diagnose??

[woven escarp]

Hey guys, what happens to UClasses on cooking? They get persisted in the package or are they spin up when the game starts like when in editor?

[mystic atlas]

C++ ones will be loaded at engine start, just like the engine.

They're "baked" into the code.

[woven escarp]

That's what I thought but when cooking I see this 32428 objects as part of root set at end of initial load.
Im emitting some uclasses that for reason doesnt make it to the final package

[mystic atlas]

Maybe you have an editor-only module that has the class for those objects?

[woven escarp]

Nope, I can see the code running on the game log

but it maybe something else if what you are saying is the case, one moving piece less

[true thistle]

not that ik of hadent packaged anything in while so jus now seeing this issue

[olive scaffold]

Any clue why i'm getting this error

been having it for months on this project

ive reinstalled Unreal several times, upgraded to 5.1, reinstalled VS

cant seem to get it to package

[jagged jolt]

did you build it from said visual studio?

[brisk thunder]

right-click project file, generate visual studio project files
then open the .sln file, should auto-open in Visual Studio, wait for it to be done loading, then hit F7. When done loading, start the project up anew and see if it fixed the issue?

[olive scaffold]

Will try building from vs

[wooden coyote]

Guys i updated my project from 5.0 to 5.1. it turns out that some stuff was broken in 5.1. So i did rollback the commit to before the update. But for some reason i get this LogPlayLevel: Error: ERROR: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'F:\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins\Developer\DumpGPUServices\DumpGPUServices.uplugin'. ...

when i try to build for android. it is trying to access a plugin that was introduced in 5.1 "DumpGPUServices.uplugin". (does not exist in engine 5.0) but i cant find any traces of this in the project files since i did rollback to 5.0 again
im suspecting that this has something to do with the AutomationTool. any ideas what i can do to get rid of this problem?

[tribal forge]

I tried to apk my project twice, but I can't, I don't know what to do 😔!

[wet jackal]

Have you solved this issue yet? I've been having the same problem when trying to package any project in UE5.1 and after nearly 24 hour of it the editor will crash.

[brisk thunder]

Are you able to build an empty fresh project?

I don't advice changing the name of that prior file to remove the Editor part. The Editor portion is specifically made for the editor. It's not supposed to reach public builds

That 2nd error means nothing to me. I'd advice a fresh project, compile. Then copy all plugins, compile. Then try copying over segments of your game and see when it stops working. Voila, culprit found

[brisk thunder]

I haven't, no... been able to use the workaround of packaging shipping and running lighting builds through the default launcher engine version, but that's proving insufficient.. I'd love to hear a solution!!

[olive scaffold]

It magically fixed itself after I built from IDR and re-downloaded android & ios target platforms

Packaged all fine!

[brisk thunder]

Great! 😄 though that sounds like you solving the errors. Ain't no magic in skill, just practice 😉

[wet jackal]

For me when I try to package even an empty project or third person template with the launcher version of UE5.1 it will get stuck on "cooking packages" until the editor eventually crashes.

[tribal forge]

Look, I know it seems that my problem is not difficult, but I'm doing it for the first time, I've seen YouTube tutorials and it didn't work at all. Please only help me those who want ok.

[wet jackal]

Are you trying to package in unreal 5.1?

[tribal forge]

No, on Unreal Engine 4.27

[wet jackal]

What error are you getting?

[tribal forge]

Well, the main error that happens is about Java.

I'll show you what I put in, wait a moment.

[brisk thunder]

Dang.... have you tried increasing your V(irtual) RAM to something like 40GB or so? Please be advised to not try this on an HDD and on an SSD ONLY! VRAM is slow, and this size will make the durability of an HDD significantly worse.. I've already got it set to that, so it won't fix the issue.. but hopefully, with a bit of luck, you can compile 😦

Sounds like this should be reported to Epic tbh

[wet jackal]

I've only been able to package a project with UE5.1 twice after multiple attempts where the editor crashed. The first time it worked it took 1 hour 40 minutes and the second time it took 7 minutes I haven't been able to package it again since that.

I think it's some kind of bug with UE5.1 as I was able to package projects in previous versions with no problem.

You Need To generate A key store and eneter it in the project settings in android sesion

[jagged cape]

really dumb question, for client/server when do i need to rebuild in VS vs re-cook content vs re-package? If I only change blueprints and assets in the editor to i need to rebuild in VS or just recook server content and repackage client?

[fathom lark]

I'm having the same issue. Did you have a few files stuck?

objects that have not yet returned true from IsCachedCookedPlatformDataLoaded:

I had 13 and now finally they are slowly going down. Currently at 7, so I guess it's still working in background anyway.
I also disabled the “XGE Controller” plugin, so perhaps that helped.

[ionic mulch]

Is there any way in the automated build tool or otherwise to only generate pak files without generating the whole build?
I'm assuming there might be a command line parameter passed when running UAT batch script that only generates paks instead of the whole complete build.

[ionic mulch]

If you've only changed BPs and editor content you don't have to recompile in VS. You have to repackage only.

[jagged cape]

thank you, do you ever get problems where repackaging doesn't seem to include changes that you've made. I am having this problem consistnetly. I found a reddit post saying if you change the default server map, repackage and then change it back that that fixes it and that does work but its annoying to do

[fathom lark]

I waited a few more hours and I went down to just 2 shaders hanging. I canceled the packaging, I deleted those two assets from the project, and I was able to finish the packaging properly!

[lost jay]

Hello! Does anyone know if there's a way to omit material graph logic branch for ambient occlusion output on specific platforms?
Right now we have it so our metallic/roughness/ao maps are packed into a single texture, and on mobile we're using the "force fully rough" and "force non-metal" to omit material logic that calculates those, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent setting for ao, which means the texture that contains pbr + ao is still being loaded for texture sampling on mobile and we'd like to disable ao on mobile completely. I found a "Mobile Ambient Occlusion" setting, but it's already disabled, so it appears to be a runtime setting, not a cook/compile time setting.

[lost jay]

I guess to generalize: Is there an option to disable material output pins for specific build targets?

[mystic atlas]

Not that I know of. You'd have to build several different materials.

You could just use a different material for each platform. Or simply have a "master" material asset that you replace for certain platforms (that would be bad, but would work)

I have already asked this in the #blueprint section, but nobody was able to help me out. Anyways, is there a way to pre-load a video? So basically, I have a video that plays as soon as the player hits a certain object, but it occasionally takes a split second to load in (it only happens in the packaged game, not inside the editor), so I was wondering if there was a way to pre-load the video right before it was called. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (By the way, I already have "Precache File" checked in the file media source details.

Use a Material Quality Switch expression and pass a constant in for Low quality.

[lost jay]

Yeah, I was hoping to have a global setting so as not to have to modify every material in the project. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll probably have to default to this if I can't modify the compilation process.

Assertion failed: Response.Status == EStatus::Ok [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\Rendering\NaniteResources.cpp] [Line: 287]
Anyone have experience with this error?

[native jewel]

I have two questions, but for different things.

1. How would I use SecondaryEncryptionKeys with a keychain on a server. Similar to Fortnite, to prevent certain paks/utocs from being opened until the key is supplied.
2. How would I go about making paks/utocs with naming other than chunk ids? Like CNData-WindowsClient.pak for a pak name.

Thanks in advance

Anyone know how to include crash reporter in packages built using a custom launch profile? The option is not there at all

[wicked rampart]

You need compiled version of engine for that

[mortal inlet]

when i try to package it says dotnet does not exist even though it does. How do I fix?

[brisk thunder]

You should be able to just right click the uproj file and select a new engine version. Switching back should also be as easy as that once Epic's fixed the crash

[brisk thunder]

You found an answer?? -curious-

[brisk thunder]

There's links mentioned in your error. Have you tried downloading .Net core 3.1? That's what fixed the error for me when I had it in ue 4.24

How do you package a project in UE5?

[native jewel]

Nope

[steel dagger]

I am using source

[gritty rampart]

you need to install the dotnet framework

[mortal inlet]

I did that but it was the wrong version lol

Now however I am having a problem where it say my project does not exist... UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: d:\AxiumsBox\AxiumsBox.uproject does not look like uproject file but no targets have been found!

Anyone know how to include the crash reporter in a launcher profile in UE5.1 Source?

it works when packaging in the editor but does not work using unreal frontend or launcher profiles

[stable tulip]

Hey folks!
In UE4.26, when I packaged my game, any additional settings files in the Config folder were included.
In UE4.27, this is no longer the case.
Any idea how to enable this in UE4.27, especially for Android builds?

Hello there, my game is crashing when I open a map, this is the crash: Fatal error!

I just added a bool variable haha

[open rapids]

It's not that it says your project doesn't exist, it's saying that you have no build targets are defined even though it also looks like it's defaulting to building for windows, something is missing there, a config file or something maybe, did you read the log file it created? It also looks like either .uproject isn't registered as an unreal project or the uproject might be corrupt.

[brisk thunder]

Click the map tab, then to the right of the play button there's the option to package

[vast swallow]

thanks!

Is there a way to make unreal create folder in the package after packaging?

[robust goblet]

Anyone has some tips on how I can provide a UE project for my game which allows users to create their own content for my game? I tried creating a "light" version of my project which just contains the necessary asset types. When I use that project to create paks it's hit or miss if the paks are recognized by my main game. I followed Epics documentation on chunking: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/preparing-assets-for-chunking-in-unreal-engine/

[open rapids]

My packaged game runs at 1-5 fps but when playing in the editor its running at 90+

I checked the pins for a general checklist but there's nothing there. Does anyone know of a resource to check before packaging projects?

So setting my resolution scale slider down to .1 in the packaged project brings the framerate back up but not to where it was. It also doesn't seem to have any visual impact on the project? I'd expect having the scale down so low to have some kind of really obvious impact but it doesn't

[open rapids]

Yeah so even though I set global illumination to none in the engine settings it was still there in packaged versions, so setting it to 0 as a function solves that and I have killer FPS again. Still don't know what the resolution scale is doing

[past pollen]

is there a way to use a packaged game that have virtual camera? on UE5

[open rapids]

okay, just thought i'd ask, because they had a similar problem, but in either case, it looks like there is a naming convention problem with your structures meaning that the stuctures need to be renamed for whatever reason as they are conflicting with something

[fierce pawn]

ah okay. I'll try to check everything, thanks!

[open rapids]

you need to go to the blueprints that it lists out as errors and right click, refresh nodes, compile and save, and re-run your build

[fierce pawn]

did that already 😦 still didn't work

[open rapids]

mmm

[open rapids]

my only other thought would be to change your variables that are giving the problem to "literally anything" and back again, compile and save, try the build again and see if that got rid of the problem for that error, and repeat for the others.

[fierce pawn]

I'll try that. thanks a lot

[manic eagle]

Hey there! My level doesn't launch from main menu in my packaged project, but it works fine in-editor. Packaging options don't change anything. I saw online it could be due to Engine.ini referencing wrong paths but I don't think so. Other suggestion was changing Game Instance but it didn't solve anything. Any ideas? I can provide screenshots.

Ok so, I'm finishing of my first game project I ever blueprinted in Unreal

When I package my project, my character just doesn't move

I was trying to build once before, and then I had the same issue

I kinda ignored it, but now I'm pretty much done with my project and I need this build

I already tried all the solutions from the internet

I tried setting "posses" after begin play

same with changing to set input mode to game mode

and changing auto receive input in player controller and the character blueprint itself to Player 0

It's a singleplayer offline game

And I'm out of options

I get no errors

My keys work, bc the sound effects play and esc shows the menu

but character doesn't move

[patent igloo]

Something I jsut discovered, if I print a name of my player ref variable in player controller in the editor, that's what I get

And that's what I get from the same message in the build

[limpid trench]

the good looking version is PIE and the bad looking version is the packaged build which is 3 hours later on our CI/CD Docker build, anyone want to throw a humble Aussie a bone?

[open rapids]

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you but Can I ask what pipeline you are using? Git/p4/jenkins?

[limpid trench]

GitLab

well gitlab and DVC and Google Cloud Storage would be more accurate

for a Linux deployment

[open rapids]

Do you happen to have a functional yaml file that I can use as a template?

[limpid trench]

not that belongs to me

I have NDA

[open rapids]

Oh, thanks

[limpid trench]

but in rough description, you have a unreal-engine:dev-5.1 container and ingress into the Docker container and then hit it with /home/ue4/UnrealEngine/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.sh BuildCookRun -utf8output -platform=Linux -clientconfig=Shipping -serverconfig=Shipping -project=$PWD/YourProject/YourProject.uproject -noP4 -nodebuginfo -allmaps -cook -build -stage -prereqs -pak -archive -archivedirectory=$PWD/project/archived then pick up the artefact from $PWD/project/archived and slurp that into your artifacts, took about 3 days of fiddling with Docker image and CI/CD and has worked flawlessly for about 6 months

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/overview-of-containers-in-unreal-engine/

[open rapids]

Thank you

[open rapids]

Thinking about it, are you sure your output is set to either cinematic or shipping for higher quality?

[limpid trench]

DANG, hell of an idea

[limpid trench]

@open rapids seems that there is no way to set the quality for shipping imho

[open rapids]

Hey all. Trying to make a build for tomorrow and the build completes successfully, but when I try to run the .exe file it doesn’t do anything. Doesn’t even boot up and then crash, just won’t run at all.
I’ve tried going through all our assets and maps and deleting anything that was even throwing warnings and nothing has worked…
I've tried:
Running as admin
Running on someone else's computer
Packaging set to Development instead of Shipping
Building to my C Drive
Disabling and Uninstalling Quixel Bridge
Message Log > Packaging Results is always empty

[mystic atlas]

Which exe are you running? The one is the base dir or the one in teh binaries folder?

[open rapids]

The one in my Builds folder

[mystic atlas]

You get 2 exes in a build. One in the base build folder which just runs the other one in teh binaries folder.

[open rapids]

Ah, the one in the base folder

The binaries one also doesn't run

[mystic atlas]

Try maybe with -log?

[open rapids]

Sorry, not sure what that means

[mystic atlas]

Create a shortcut to the exe file (the one in binaries) and then edit it

So it'll be something like "c:\mybuilds\myawesomegame\binaries\win64\myawesomegame.exe" -log

I'm not sure if it'll do anything, but maybe?

[open rapids]

Unfortunately still no

UE 5.1
Hey folks, really hope someone can help me, I will try and outline whats going on.

1. Packaged game, package ran properly - uploaded to steam and works fine
2. New Build, compiles, runs standalone and builds successfully
3. New Package crashes on opening with only "Fatal Error"
4. New Package runs ok when downloaded via steam on other computers
5. Restored backup of stage 1
6. Stage 1 packaged game now crashes with Fatal error on my machine despite previously running without any problems.
7. New Clean Project (TP) Also packages and runs
8. Dev build also runs ok

It seems like there is something cached causing both packages to fail but dont really know, or maybe a missing dependency. Have spent all day debugging but cant work it out.
Worst case I can package upload to steam then download to test but its really slowing down my iteration. Really hope someone can help me unravel this!

[wanton olive]

Hey gang, I'm encountering some big headaches with 4.27 packaging to Android (Pico Neo 3). My project has the following environment setup per the Pico documentation:

Java JDK 1.8.0_351
Android SDK 30.0.3
Android NDK 21.3.6528147```

We have some UPL/APL xml scripts doing things C++/Java side in our project, but upon packaging it gets to the last step and then fails. It claims it doesn't recognize imports like
```import android.core.support.v4...
import androidx.core...```

I've been experimenting for a while, as I saw "jetifier" allows us to use old android imports however it would appear to be active and still failing. So I get a bunch of errors at the end like this:

```ATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): Z:\app\src\main\java\com\epicgames\ue4\GameActivity.java:223: error: cannot find symbol
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)):       import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)):                                    ^
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)):   symbol:   class ActivityCompat
UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)):   location: package android.support.v4.app```

Does anyone have any ideas? I saw some suggestions online to remove the Android 33 API which we did among other things, to no avail.

[limpid trench]

Surely this is packaging 101 super obvious derpsville city limits

Fixed by going to Project Settings - Packaging - Advanced and adding my level to the list of maps to pack. No clue why I didn't have the problem before, since I never used this menu, but glad to know it solved it.

run it -waitfordebugger and attach

I can't seem to export my project, I have this plugin called AMD FSR 2.1 and I've installed it in UE_4.27/Engine/Plugins/Runtime/AMD and it works flawlessly in the engine and test play, but when it comes to exporting it, it gives me this error, I removed the folder (also removes the plugin) and it allows me to export, I don't know if I installed it right but it seems to be causing the issue, does anyone know how to fix it?

the entire log file if it helps: https://pastecord.com/izeqazoqyf.yaml

Actually I fixed it, the plugin folder itself had 3 other folders within it and I had to choose one with the version of my project

[junior tendon]

You ever find the answer?

[terse mulch]

lol fair

okay so

I don't know if this is relevant but I'm on a source build of 5.0.3

When I package my project

It's really weird

The packaging works

But when you run the exe

There's an infinite black screen

BUT

it works perfectly like, 10% of the time

It's incredibly inconsistent and I have no idea what's causing it

I have a default map picked

[mystic atlas]

Have you tried debugging it?

[terse mulch]

I'm kind of unfamiliar with the debugging tools in unreal unfortunately

[mystic atlas]

It's not an Unreal tool you'd use to debug it!

[terse mulch]

I was hoping it would just generate a log for me so I could figure out what's happening but as far as I can tell it doesn't even make a log

Even though it''s test build

[terse mulch]

Please teach me your black magic, black mage

[mystic atlas]

Visual Studio!

[terse mulch]

Can I do that with a packaged exe?

;0

[mystic atlas]

Yes

[terse mulch]

thank you, I'll look into how to do that once I'm done helping a guy

Hey, anyone else using UE5.1 and having trouble packaging for android with Support OpenGL ES3.2 enabled? Packaging with Vulkan support works fine, but whenever I enable OpenGL, packaging fails with this error, says that it can't compile an EngineMaterial.

Hi! Trying to package a game, but recieve this error at the end of Cook stage

Does anybody why this might happen? If I remove this folder and try again, I still get this error

[tepid abyss]

I've attempted to package my prototype for some friends to try, and I have a very simple title screen that loads the first level...There's a start game event that gets fired when you click the mouse on the title screen (per the brick breaker tutorial) that removes the title screen widget and then fires an Open Level (by Name) node with the first level of the game in it...it runs fine in the editor, but when I run the packaged version the title screen just reloads every time I click, like that's failing...any ideas? How can I debug that?

I have my level in a Levels folder...it's in Content/Levels/Level_01...do I have to put the path in the by name node?

[royal bough]

sond slike you never moved the video into the propper directory. Unlike other files (materials and such) videos do not self transfer. You need to personally move them into the Movies folder, before draginging them into your project. then they will build with the project.

[tepid abyss]

Level not video...but I just figured it out...I actually have to either add it to the list of levels to package or check "cook everything" in the packagine options

[royal bough]

for me, I use a lot of 'print' statments all over to help me find where the issues are.

it also helps me find where tick is going crazy

[native jewel]

I have two questions, but for different things.

1. How would I use SecondaryEncryptionKeys with a keychain on a server. Similar to Fortnite, to prevent certain paks/utocs from being opened until the key is supplied.
2. How would I go about making paks/utocs with naming other than chunk ids? Like CNData-WindowsClient.pak for a pak name.

Thanks in advance

@hoary oak I am having the same issue are you able to solve it?

[wary wasp]

I have a C++ project that was already built for release. Now I want to add a content-only plugin to it and package without building as it technically shouldn't be necesarry.
But whenever I do that the plugin is being cooked but looks like it is not included in the final package.
Any ideas?
If I also build the project then everything works.

I'm having trouble cross compiling UE5 Windows -> Linux. I've installed the toolchain for ue5, and added the root dir for the toolchain as an Environment Variable LINUX_MULTIARCH_ROOT, but UE5 still tells me no Linux SDK is installed...

[wooden elm]

Could anyone help explain what this cook error is? Up until last night my game cooked/packaged for shipping with no problems :/
Am I right in thinking there is some error with a spline on one of my WP maps?
UE 5.1

[royal bough]

Anyone have any idea why a level would reload itself, instead of the requested level?

I have an opening credit level, where it just plays a movie in front of the player.
12 seconds.
Then the command OpenLevel(ByName)
The name given is Level01
This works fine in the simulation, and in Preview, but when I build, it reloads the Credit Level (itself). So it's just a cycle.

Ideas?

[limpid raptor]

What does this warning mean and should I be worried about it? My project seems to package fine anyways, but it's also my only warning (despite some pose stuff) and I'd like to solve it if I can.

[limpid raptor]

I think this is due to a Blueprint trying to access a null

[limpid raptor]

You could go to the folder it lists and open the CPP file and go to line 88 and try to decipher some more information. The rest of the call stack is likely failing because of this.

[deep abyss]

Hello, does anyone know why sometimes maps work in the packaged build when I include** only Persistent** map (without sublevels) in this list, but sometimes I have to include all sublevels as well?

[deep abyss]

Ok, so I'm partially answering myself now: from the engine source code it looks like it should not be required to add sublevels to this list, if the persistent map is added.

From GenerateDistillFileSetsCommandlet.cpp:
`// Load all maps
{
for ( auto MapIt = MapList.CreateConstIterator(); MapIt; ++MapIt )
{
const FString& MapPackage = *MapIt;
UE_LOG(LogGenerateDistillFileSetsCommandlet, Display, TEXT( "Loading %s..." ), MapPackage );
UPackage Package = LoadPackage( NULL, *MapPackage, LOAD_None );
if( Package != NULL )
{
GRedirectCollector.ResolveAllSoftObjectPaths();

            AllPackageNames.Add(Package->GetName());

            UE_LOG(LogGenerateDistillFileSetsCommandlet, Display, TEXT( "Finding content referenced by %s..." ), *MapPackage );
            TArray<UObject *> AllPackages;
            GetObjectsOfClass(UPackage::StaticClass(), AllPackages);
            for (int32 Index = 0; Index < AllPackages.Num(); Index++)
            {
                FString OtherName = AllPackages[Index]->GetOutermost()->GetName();
                if (!AllPackageNames.Contains(OtherName))
                {
                    AllPackageNames.Add(OtherName);
                    UE_LOG(LogGenerateDistillFileSetsCommandlet, Log, TEXT("Package: %s"), *OtherName);
                }
            }
            UE_LOG(LogGenerateDistillFileSetsCommandlet, Display, TEXT( "Collecting garbage..." ) );
            CollectGarbage(RF_NoFlags);
        }
    }`

So probably sth else is broken in my case.

Is there a way to see what is eating the resources in my 'Packaged Game'; VRPreview runs at a smooth 90FPS, packaged drops to an unplayable 10-15fps (VRPreview is running at Low scalabilty, on a resolution of 1080, so I have added these-SEE IMAGE-into GameState to replicate that in the Packaged Version). However performance is still shocking. Is there a way I can see what is causing this (I know that would require intricate knowledge of my project but if there is anything common that comes to mind please enlighten me) or is there any 'good practice' that I may be missing in the packaging process as I am self taught and this is my first experience packaging. Cheers.

what happen when packaging without saving or compiling?

[native shuttle]

Greetings!
Does anyone know how fix this error. Occurred while packaging

Error: Module 'ChaosVehicles' (Engine Plugins) should not reference module 'Chaos' (Project). Hierarchy is Project -> Marketplace -> Engine Programs -> Engine Plugins -> Engine.

[limpid raptor]

"LogInit: Display: LogCook: Warning: Unable to find package for map ."

[limpid raptor]

What does this error mean?

[mystic atlas]

It means it can't find the umap file for a level you've made.

[limpid raptor]

Why does it not list the map?

[mystic atlas]

Or for a reference to a level you've made.

Because log messages weren't made to be useful! /s

I would find the error string in the source code and breakpoint it.

[mystic atlas]

Show missing?

[limpid raptor]

Thanks for your help! I'm a little confused between selecting maps in my Project Launcher versus in Packaging Settings. Where should I do it? Should I do both? I have one Persistent level with many sublevels. There's no Maps appearing under show missing.

[mystic atlas]

Not a clue, sorry!

[limpid raptor]

@mystic atlas no worries. This is what I mean. I don't get which one of these I should be using. Packaging Settings or Project Launcher.

[limpid raptor]

Regarding the source code, do you know what folder those log messages are located in?

[mystic atlas]

Nope

[limpid raptor]

You've never done that before?

[mystic atlas]

I've search for error string in the source code, sure. I use the search function, I don't look in specific directories. There are thousands. If not tens of thousands. When I say "source code" I mean the engine source code, not log files.

[limpid raptor]

I know! I'm not a programmer, forgive me. I usually just go to the CPP file that it points to and search it in VS. How do you search it all at the same time?

[mystic atlas]

ctrl+shift+f

[limpid raptor]

Yeah but how do you search every file in the Source Code all at once?

[mystic atlas]

^ Select "entire solution"

Honestly I'm not sure if the engine source code is available for searching like that if you don't have a source build.

I haven't used the launcher in forever. 😦

[limpid raptor]

This is what it looks like

[limpid raptor]

Usually I go into these folders if it gives me a path and open up the CPP file in VS where the error's happening. Is there a way to open up this entire folder in VS and then do Ctrl+Shift+F?

[mystic atlas]

Ah. Not with VS?

You can avoid using an IDE if you use something like wingrep

[limpid raptor]

No I use VS. I'm just confused how I look at all the files at once. I open up this folder in VS I guess?

[mystic atlas]

Does it not come with a sln file? Maybe in a parent directory?

[limpid raptor]

If I open the "Engine" folder in VS I get this

[mystic atlas]

That'll do.

Though I don't think you can debug the engine like that. :

😦

Do you have the debugging symbols installed?

(they're in the launcher as an engine option)

[limpid raptor]

I do

[mystic atlas]

Strange that there's no project for you to open in VS and debug with!

[limpid raptor]

So I searched "Unable to find package map" and then I get this

[limpid raptor]

These are where it could be happening. Now you're saying to add a breakpoint here?

[limpid raptor]

It sounds like it's this. But I just don't understand why I would list maps here in Packaging Settings and in the Project Launcher.

[limpid raptor]

It's for sure this one.

[limpid raptor]

Were you able to solve this?!

[limpid raptor]

What process do I attach a VS Breakpoint to if I'm trying to find a Log Message that's firing during the Build process in Project Launcher?

[trim flare]

So unreal will let me package my 'game' (it's really just a single level) for shipping, but the exe won't actually run or do anything at all?

Ive set a 'default game level' and 'default game mode', so I expected the game to run in the same way as me hitting the test button in the ue editor...

[empty cliff]

does anyone know what would cause it to write error unknown

[winged moss]

For some reason you have a Chaos plugin in your project, but the engine plugin ChaosVehicles is enabled

[unborn quest]

Hi everyone!
I've found interesting command line params for the Cook commandlet, and now I'm wondering in which situations that parameters could be used. I mean, does DisableUnsolicitedPackages mean that nothing will get into the final build? Do you have some examples when these params can be usefull?

I selected the top folder as the build location

but some reason a windows folder was generated below/outside of it

then if i go into the intended folder

another windows folder...

then go into that windows folder and you see all of this stuff

IF i were to send this to anyone, Id like to lower the chance of them feeling lost as part of the experience.

Oi, does anyone here have any experience with Epic's BuildPatchTool? Trying to get a build up on EGS and the tool is not behaving. Throwing errors about not being able to check for the latest version and about missing McpArtifactService, whatever that means in this context. Anyone seen something like this before?

[wicked vapor]

Hi @deft reef , if you could create a private discussion on EOSHelp (https://eoshelp.epicgames.com/), my team should be able to look into this for you.
If you could include the full log file from the BuildPatchTool, that would help a lot. A common cause for this error is that you may have modified the tool directory structure or have only copied across the executable.
The tool relies on the files in the zip archive to function and the whole zip archive should be extracted to a directory and left as-is.

[deft reef]

As far as I'm aware it hasn't even produced any logfile so maybe there is indeed something off with the whole directory structure. I'll relay your message to the person on our team who's currently fighting the tool and we'll get back to you.

[lost raft]

I'm the one "fighting the tool" and one simple comment: "zip archive should be extracted to a directory and left as-is." reminded me that I've done one not-so-smart thing. And that would be going into ZIP Engine directory and extracting directories inside it (to my designed disk directory), omitting the overlaying Engine directory. Thank You for pointing this out - it seems the tool is working properly right now 🙂

Microsoft.MakeFile.targets(44, 5): [MSB3073] The command "G:\UnrealEngine-5.1\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat TestGameServer Win64 Development -Project="G:\Unreal Engine\Unreal Projects\TestGame\TestGame\TestGame.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6.

Any ideas what could be the problem? I have tried clean source build too.

using UnrealBuildTool;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class TestGameServerTarget : TargetRules
{
public TestGameServerTarget( TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)
{
Type = TargetType.Server;
DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V2;
ExtraModuleNames.AddRange( new string[] { "TestGame" } );
}
}

Does anyone know of a video explaining how to package a project on mac for apple silicone device ? It's such a mess the difference btw arm64 and x86_64. I don't have enough knowledge to apply the things explained in this link https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/supporting-arm64-and-universal-binaries-for-apple-arcade-in-unreal-engine/

What is an IO Store in packaging? (Project settings -> Use IO Store)

help

Is there some kind of 'minimum required setup' to build out a working demo of a game? I have a level, and a working pawn (I can hit play in the editor and control it). I wanted to export the level to have someone else test some of the setups, and it builds for windows "fine" (no errors) but the exe doesn't seem to do anything

I have a default game mode and default level selected

@trim flare Check the logs and see if there's anything in there, if there are no logs make sure you have a development build.

i tried everything

i am deeply broken

my unreal engine just wont package anytthing

its not even project related anymore

i set it up to be a shipping config... press the package button... and out comes a development build

and no matter what i do

i can

not

fix

it

[mystic atlas]

I hear pressing enter less has code improving benefits!

Are you using the launcher engine?

[fierce pebble]

no

wait

yes

the default engine

freshly installed today

Also i installed the missing libraries, i had the same issue on my other pc until 5.1 came...

all my builds turn out to be development, i have the console and i can see the print messages.

[mystic atlas]

Can the launcher engine package shipping? I thought it was development only.

[fierce pebble]

it can ofc

it works fine on my other pc

i have no idea why it doesnt work

it doesnt even give an error

as soon as i hit package like normal... it has switched to development config

[mystic atlas]

I blame Laura.

[fierce pebble]

i wish laura was here

would know

you know what

time to todo something i never do

i will ask in forums

@fierce pebble Tried going to the "Packaging Settings" and checking if you didn't specify a specific build target?

[fierce pebble]

i never had to wrote there

what should i write?

WIndows?

i can try if you want

[fleet void]

As in it should be empty.

[fierce pebble]

[fleet void]

Is this for a specific project only?

[fierce pebble]

no

[fleet void]

Did you try it with a basic template for example?

[fierce pebble]

i tried building it 3 times
