Hi, there is a way to debug an Editor crash when packaging ? I get code 25 Error_UnknownCookFailure

mellow bane Feb 6, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

Put up the full log on pastebin

thorn oriole Feb 6, 2021, 10:08 AM

#

@mellow bane I have updated pretty much all of my drivers, everything is up to date and still... the same problem. Something must be different with the 4.18 version, maybe for my hardware at least.

mellow bane Feb 6, 2021, 10:09 AM

#

Yeah, no idea what to investigate at this point 😦

thorn oriole Feb 6, 2021, 10:15 AM

#

Well scratch that- a blank project on 26.1 seems to work fine, so its probably something in my project

mellow bane Feb 6, 2021, 10:33 AM

#

Any particular plugin or library used ?

thorn oriole Feb 6, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

@mellow bane Yes, thats what I was looking at right now. I'm using fmod library and source, not the whole plugin, more specifically, following the tutorial from here, https://www.parallelcube.com/2018/03/01/using-thirdparty-libraries-in-our-ue4-mobile-project. I've been using it for quite some time, I believe since last year and packaged it successfully multiple times on the past versions of the engine. I noticed that any project using those will have the same crash on packaging, I've tried multiple projects on 4.26 and 4.24 with no luck so far, and I'm going to migrate a small project to 4.18 to test it out (the project is too new). I can't remember what version the engine was on about 9-10 months ago (last packaged build that worked with the fmod dll and source files)

Getting this error while packaging my game, can anyone help?

mellow bane Feb 6, 2021, 7:13 PM

#

I'm guessing a missing dependency on that library is the issue

thorn oriole Feb 6, 2021, 8:34 PM

#

@mellow bane is there any way I can troubleshoot it?

mellow bane Feb 6, 2021, 8:35 PM

#

Try depends.exe, it's a free tool to check which libraries an executable depends on

thorn oriole Feb 6, 2021, 9:39 PM

#

Thank you Ill try that. But shouldn t the logs show a proper error if a library is missing? And Im only using one dll, the rest are source files.

Hello guys, I can't seem to only Package the maps I want how can I do that? tried different solutions... but some are still showing up

mellow bane Feb 7, 2021, 10:33 AM

#

Just fill the list of maps you want to package in the project settings section for packaging

#

That will also only package assets that are being used

long abyss Feb 7, 2021, 10:39 AM

#

Nope but it might be that my "TravelManager" was soft referencing these maps

#

i deference them and still not working 😦

Hello. can any one help me please with cooking project ? i take new project v4.25.4 first person shooter variant, add there some content and all is cooking ok. but if i add in total more then 50 GB then it always fails. and it doesnt mather what exactly i add. I mean i am using free content from ue4 but if it is too much then cooked is failed/ as i see there are some mistakes that go more then 50 and appears problem. as a resault i took 2 paragon characters and it cooked ok. added 5-ok. 10-ok. 5 more and fail. change on other replaced, checked by one , all is the same. if i add 1-10 all is ok, when i add more paragon characters or other content failed. i did reboot many times. i reinstalled engine. i redownloaded all characters from store again. all time same problem/ i dont understand the problem and how it can be with new project. i didnt touched any settings / may be you know the problem/ here are example of last warnings

mellow bane Feb 7, 2021, 11:46 AM

@mild acorn Lots of warnings to fix but mostly you have one asset that has a broken reference

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): LogInit: Display: LogPackageName: Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: 'None' is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name. Reason: Path should start with a '/'

#

Unfortunately that error is difficult to understand without debugging the packaging process with VS

#

Right click cntent folder in content browser, try fix up redirectors, and resave all packages

#

Then you can retry

mild acorn Feb 7, 2021, 12:03 PM

if you asking me then i am using free content from epic store and havent done any changes. i create project first person char + add paragon or other assets. open project and without changes try to cook, but again and again fail. only if i import few of assets, number pr warnings will be low and it will compile, otherwise no ... no ideya why it worcks so

tried to compile and resave all bp but still nothing. dont understand how it can fail in new project

tawdry prawn Feb 7, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

There is any alternative way to export project to HTML5 ?

mellow bane Feb 7, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

Nope

#

It's not really an export, IIRC, it's pretty much an entirely different platform

#

As in, the engine need to be compiled for the HTML5 platform

#

The engine has killed that platform and getting it to work again from the plugin will be harder with each new version

tawdry prawn Feb 7, 2021, 6:10 PM

#

I want to connect my project with web , there I any way to do that instead of using HTML5 ?

mellow bane Feb 7, 2021, 6:11 PM

#

Yeah, pixel streaming, by having one UE4 dedicated server for each connected user

#

If you're targeting Web you should probably look toward Unity instead

@mellow bane Hey, I started using depends.exe and I've profiled the packaged .exe and I get this error, could it be possible that the packaged game does not find the .dll as well?

📎 unknown.png

thorn oriole Feb 9, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

@mellow bane I have found the issue! Apparently the fmod.dll wasn't being copied at all to the binaries folder in the packaged game. I have code in the build.cs to copy the dll from a thirdparty folder to the game's binaries which works in the editor but it won't copy the file in the packaged game.

thorn oriole Feb 9, 2021, 7:56 AM

#

Apparently it fails to copy due to it being used "by another process"

mellow bane Feb 9, 2021, 9:41 AM

#

@thorn oriole Hey ! Happy that you could fix all of it

#

@bitter orchid You can use an older engine

bitter orchid Feb 9, 2021, 9:43 AM

#

I already know that, it seems thats the only way,however is openGL associated with API versions ?

#

like API 20 has openGl version 3.0 or something like that ?

#

or they are unrelated ?

mellow bane Feb 9, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

OpenGL versions are closely related to the hardware features required by the software

#

If you're asking about the Android API, yes, newer versions might require more features

You can start by downloading the debug symbols for the engine so you can see what functions are crashing.
If you're using Epic launcher engine version then you can download them from there.

stone meteor Feb 10, 2021, 10:36 PM

@gray oriole did this start after upgrading your engine version? Mine was fine until I upgraded it

It's definitely the structure breaking it

Dependency on UnrealEd in a packaged build

#

Look for UnrealEd

#

@deep zinc Post the full packaging log on pastebin

#

Yes, the .uproject file

#

Yeah, tough in a disappointing way

#

To be clear you don't have a Source folder in this project ?

#

What's inside ?

#

Dig until you find a .build.cs file

#

And show me that

#

Yeah. So this is a C++ project

#

Still no UnrealEd here though

#

What about the .target.cs file ?

#

Alright everything is fine here

#

Any plugins in project dir ?

barren stag Feb 11, 2021, 8:04 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

mellow bane Feb 11, 2021, 8:05 PM

#

Alright, so let's do it again - .uproject, build.cs, for every one

#

We're looking for UnrealEd

#

There you go

#

Alright so - these plugins should be made editor-only if they're editor tooling with no runtime features

#

IIRC there's a uproject setting for that

#

Alright, let me explain

#

Right now your plugin uses code from the UnrealEd module (main editor module)

#

This cannot work for a packaged build

#

The license explicitly forbids it, and it's not possible technically anyway

#

Plus you don't even want that

#

Either the plugin isn't useful in the game - like, if it's editor tooling - and so you should edit the plugin's uproject to make it editor only

#

Or the plugin also does runtime stuff, and then the build.cs can only depend on UnrealEd when compiling with editor

#

Any that uses UnrealEd

#

And probably things like ANimGraph, BlueprintGRaph that I see

#

Any module under Developer or Editor in the engine source

#

MainFrame too, EditorStyle... Basically these plugins look very much like editor tools

#

No

#

Open the uproject file for the plugin

#

Look for a "Type" field that will be "Runtime"

#

Use "Editor" instead

#

No

#

Sorry, I might have been inaccurate here

#

I'm talking about the .uplugin file in each plugin folder

#

(It's basically the same thing internally but different name)

#

To be clear, the author of the plugin should do that

#

You can try it yourself but I outlined two possibilities

#

Either disable the whole plugin outside editor, or fix the plugin so that it still packages but doesn't use or depend on editor stuff

#

Second one will have to be done by the author

#

Yes

#

Just keep in mind that will remove the plugin from the packaged build

#

Alright, well, try packaging

#

VRM4U still set to "Developer"

#

Move it to Editor

#

Sure every single plugin in the project folder is set to Type : Editor now ?

#

Doe sany of them has "additional dependencies" inside with UnrealEd ?

#

Yes

I haven't tried this yet, but is it possible to 'embed' a material in the package of a blueprint object? I'm pondering different solutions to get around the inability to choose static switch material variants at runtime without a bunch of manual work and an explosion of material assets, and in theory if I could embed a material inside the package of the blueprint that uses the variant with the static switch I can avoid a bunch of manual headaches.

Error: Couldn't find file for package /Game/TheGame/GameModes/Survival/GI_TheGame requested by async loading code. NameToLoad: /Game/TheGame/GameModes/Survival/GI_TheGame
Error: Found 0 dependent packages...

On Windows, I used to copy the server exe into the packaged client, but I stopped doing that when I noticed I don't need to do such things on Linux. Is this perhaps a difference between the platforms, or unrelated and different issue at play?

#

(Error occured on Windows)

Oh, it's apparently not packaging because the GI has a redirector, I think

Yep 👍

Lemme remove it again, but it wasn't there to begin with, same behaviour happened though

mellow bane Feb 13, 2021, 9:59 AM

Plus I don't see how s_LoadedDataTable is initialized to nullptr

#

Nor how it's loaded

#

Nor how it's kept free from GC (UPROPERTY on static pointer, not sure that works)

#

If s_LoadedDataTable is never initialized to nullptr then your crash is explained by path being null

mellow bane Feb 13, 2021, 10:01 AM

#

If GetFoliageSettings() is nullptr then s_LoadedDataTable is a non nullptr dangling ptr

#

Move this stuff to game instance, drop the static stuff, use a good old UPROPERTY ptr

Always initialize to nullptr

mellow bane Always initialize to nullptr

private:
static UDataTable* s_LoadedDataTable = nullptr;
Like so?

worldly sequoia Feb 13, 2021, 10:06 AM

#

worldly sequoia > private: > static UDataTable* s_LoadedDataTable = nullptr; Like so?

I did this, but same error apparently

#

Oh, it fails with a = nullptr init

#

a static data member with an in-class initializer must have non-volatile const integral type or be specified as 'inline'

#

Did this instead

mellow bane Feb 13, 2021, 10:10 AM

#

Look

#

I don't know if data tables stay in memory with no UObject UPROPERTY reference

#

The module class is really not meant for that

#

Use world settings, game instance, something like that to hold an UPROPERTY pointer

#

Failing that, add it to root set

#

Initialize your pointer with nullptr

#

And add some logs to understand what fails to load

worldly sequoia Feb 13, 2021, 10:13 AM

Cheers Stranger

I think if you make a Shipping build it will behave in this manner

#

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/Online/Steam/index.html
In shipping builds, the engine will check to make sure that the logged-in user is properly subscribed to the game and will shutdown if the engine's test returns false (this is one way to help secure the game). Additionally, using Steam DRM (see the Steamworks SDK) should further protect the game from being tampered with.

Make sure you have the use chunks packaging option enabled, you also might need to hit the "refresh" button on the audit UI to make the chunks show up right

I am getting this error while trying to Package a project with the DLSS plugin. Any ideas on how to fix this one?

hi guys i have a problem for some time with steam overlay, using 4.26 there is no overlay in standarone game and in package game, the only way to get steam overlay is to load game to steam and open it by steam client, but even then i dont get full steam functionality, only overlay, any help plis 🙂 ?

mellow bane Feb 19, 2021, 8:44 AM

#

No overlay at all in a shipping game is perfectly normal if you didn't start the game from Steam

#

So that part is fine

#

Define "full Steam functionality" ?

open rapids Feb 19, 2021, 9:03 AM

#

@mellow bane So for example, i download my game from steam, then log out of steam and close steam, and when i open .exe of my game i should not be able to play it but i can, i can also take a pendrive move it to another computer and play as normal without steam

mellow bane Feb 19, 2021, 9:07 AM

#

Yes this is normal

#

What's the question here ?

open rapids Feb 19, 2021, 9:12 AM

#

so can i do like a anty piracy method for people with no steam or no game key valid , not to play the game. when you click exe it checks for steam, opens steam, check for game be on your account and then it allow it to be open @mellow bane

mellow bane Feb 19, 2021, 9:12 AM

#

You want the Steam DRM, I guess

#

Though it's very easy to get rid of it

#

Anti-piracy is a complete waste of time

open rapids Feb 19, 2021, 9:14 AM

#

mellow bane You want the Steam DRM, I guess

i heard that it is already implemented, but does i need to enabled it ?

mellow bane Feb 19, 2021, 9:14 AM

#

Read the doc for the Steam DRM : https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/drm

#

It has to be an additional packaging step AFAIK

open rapids Feb 19, 2021, 9:15 AM

#

okey thx i will try 😁

mellow bane Feb 19, 2021, 9:15 AM

#

Again, do note that this will be automatically removed by any piracy group

#

Not even something they'll notice

#

You're just preventing people from copypasting the game to their friends

open rapids Feb 19, 2021, 9:18 AM

#

that is what i need 😄

Any of you know what this is all about?

open rapids Feb 20, 2021, 10:37 AM

Probably copy and pasted as a asset file from some other project. If you can open it, just open it, modify something trivial and save it, see if the warning still pops up...

open rapids Feb 21, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

Hello guys I have prolem with packaging the game 😦

#

#

what to do to fix them?

steady meteor Feb 21, 2021, 10:25 PM

#

Where to start fixing this? 😕

#

I've been thinking to port the structs I have defined in the editor to c++, now they're user defined structs, not sure why I get this packaging error though..

#

@open rapids for the yellow ones I would first take a backup of the project, then just go into the content folder and find those files and if you're not using them in the game you can just delete them. Maybe against advisable way of deleting things but I have done so with lots of assets I had issues with and it has worked then..

#

@open rapids And I have the exact same problem with the red one, alpha False.. IDK I'm still running cooking here and waiting. But I would go into settings and enable/disable that feature, depending on if you use it, and maybe just switching it on/off might clear up some old stuff, other than that might be going into some .ini file and remove a line if I can find it

#

It might report files missing when you reload the project but that clears up when you save it, close and reopen, for me anyways the not found issue seemed to just disappear..

Run the packaging through Visual Studio's debugger, and when the crash occurs, walk through the call stack to find out which mesh

south jacinth Feb 22, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

@slate shadow I did.. I had problem with one blueprint. Do not what exactly, but I had to rewrite couple of functions from scratch in this blueprint. I found this blueprint by reverting commits one by one using Git.

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:22 PM

#

oh thats really bad

#

I cant use that method to find problematic blueprint

south jacinth Feb 22, 2021, 4:23 PM

#

Why not? You do not have control version?

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

dont use git

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

But you have another version control then right

south jacinth Feb 22, 2021, 4:25 PM

#

Well, does not matter what CSM, if you have one. Almost all of them store versions and commits and allow you to revert

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

I dont

#

I recently merged multiple projects inside of one

#

its seemed to worked well, in editor it does exactly what it is supposed to

south jacinth Feb 22, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

Well, the only way is to create new project and migrate blueprints there until you find the broken one.

By the way, I saw, that this error might apeear, if someone names variables with reserved names. Like if or False

#

But that was not our case

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 4:30 PM

#

No source control is suicidal, so you should get onto that today

#

In the meantime, like I said earlier for someone else,

Run the packaging through Visual Studio's debugger, and when the crash occurs, walk through the call stack to find out which mesh

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:40 PM

#

so far what I did is opened up blueprints and found in notepad++ that in player blueprint is that NoneNone so will check that out

#

sorry Im kinda new to managing projects, is source control just different name of having backup?

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 4:46 PM

#

No, it's not

#

Source control is a complete history of every change you stored into it

#

It usually gives you backups too because you have at least one history of the project either locally or remotely but backups aren't the point, the point is "let's restore that file i deleted 2 years ago"

#

Or "Let's see all changes to this file since ever"

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:48 PM

#

oh

#

I come from vfx, where it would be tons of data and everyone just worked with one file so weekly backkups were more than enough

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 4:51 PM

#

Almost every game production runs Perforce for source control

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

ok once I get to package project I can take a look at it

#

there are tons of new things from learning to draw for concept art, learning game design and game logic up to these tech/support things

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

Yeah, all of these are different full time jobs

slate shadow Feb 22, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

have to do them all myself so its easy to skip lots of things that dont visually help

#

at least I figured out what was problematic and have backup of older player file

#

still this is insanely serious engine bug, especially when it doesnt tell what is wrong or it works perfectly in editor

mellow bane Feb 22, 2021, 5:09 PM

#

It's not a bug

so I solved it, and literally I had to open all actors in notepad and findband pinpoint error string there

#

@mellow bane by bug I mean it randomly corrupted variable

mellow bane Feb 23, 2021, 10:38 AM

#

Oh, it probably did not randomly corrupt either

#

Either hot reload was used, or after deleting or moving an asset you didn't save all assets with pending changes, or you got a crash after renaming ana sset before saving all dependencies, etc

#

Or you disabled a plugin that was used somewhere, etc, etc

#

Variables don't usually nuke themselves

Hi everyone. Anyone here to help me with a packaging issue? I have some unknown error and I'm trying to work it out, but I think I'm making things worse somehow.

#

My project runs fine in the editor in all of the maps. I've opened all of the blueprints (of which there are hundreds) and did a select all => refresh node => compile => save and everything's fine. When I try to package the project for windows strictly following the guidance here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Deployment/Releasing/index.html I get a number of errors (many hundreds of errors) and the build fails

Releasing Your Project

Creating a release versioned project with cooked content for distribution.

#

Firstly it says I'm running out of memory during the build, which I don't understand.

#

Next, I'm getting errors that fall into one of three main categories: 1) ForeachShape(Convex): ScaledElem[505] invalid:: missing ConvexMesh 2) struct type mismatch Unknown structure or 3) LogCook: Warning: Could not resolve package in in ...AssetRegistry.bin

#

The result is ExitCode=25 (Error_UnknownCookFailure)

#

The structure errors all seem to pertain to a structure I made for a player inventory system which works fine in the editor. The structure doesn't appear to have any errors or problems, so I don't know why the structure is Unknown in the build. I don't even know what a ConvexMesh is. I didn't have the AssetRegistry errors until I tried resinstalling the engine (in a failed attempt to fix the packaging problem I'm having).

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 3:53 PM

#

Quick update: I created a new blank project and packaged it using the same guidance in 'releasing your project' above and the build succeeded.

#

So it's not that I can't build anything - I just can't build my project. I don't know how to solve the memory issue or any of the errors I've encountered. In checking the blueprints in the project everything seems to be in working order...

#

any ideas why I can't build in Test or Debug configurations but it will happily build up Shipping exe files?

#

it would seem to be something with either 4.26.1 or my project.. because I just installed VS2017 on this box and have the same issue on Win10 host as with another PC with essentially the same spec hardware

#

could it be because I have marketplace plugins that are paid / compiled or something?

#

@rare reef try using the config file from the build that works and adjust any customizations back one by one

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 5:56 PM

#

@karmic elm I'll try that thanks

karmic elm Feb 23, 2021, 5:57 PM

#

yea good luck, that fixed some 3 year bugs for me.. i think upgrading projects can lead to a mismatch in the editor representation of how things will actually build up

#

e.g. the prefs will show things other than how they build and settings will reset themselves between instances of running the editor =\

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 6:12 PM

#

@karmic elm So I'm looking in my Config folder and there are multiple files there. Two of which are customised to work with a plugin (AutoSettings). Should I replace all of these with the ones from a fresh (blank) project and then re-edit the ones needed for AutoSettings?

karmic elm Feb 23, 2021, 6:14 PM

#

I'm not familiar with that plugin.. for my issues it was in DefaultEngine.ini

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

Thanks I'll start there

spice wraith Feb 23, 2021, 6:32 PM

#

In a package build theese two particles from the UE4All projects dont show up. Does anybody know why?

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 6:35 PM

#

@karmic elm I hae VS2019 Community installed here. Do you think that's causing any problems?

#

@spice wraith Could it be something in video settings? Did you set up a video settings control for your project? Sometimes the default particle settings don't allow for some more complex particles unless settings have been set up to control them in in CVARs. Just a guess though.

#

@karmic elm So the builder is still cooking the package but I can already see some (new versions) of familiar errors in the output log... AssetRegistry.bin errors, ConvexMesh errors... still waiting for the Unknown Structure but that may appear... dreading the possibility that it will give me an out of memory error again.

#

Oddly the errors do seem to be in a slightly different format, though.

spice wraith Feb 23, 2021, 6:51 PM

#

@rare reef Maybe? haven't touched the video settings control for my project.. tried packaging the UE4All demo, to see if they shows up in a package build, but no - they don't. Not sure how i can control them in CVARs?

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 6:53 PM

#

Someone who developed a marketplace settings system also made some solid documentation for editing console variables (CVARs) to enable things like audio and video settings manipulation in a widget.

#

https://autosettings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/settings/#console-variables

#

You can download his example project use his CVAR blueprint if you want

#

It could be your project was packaged and (for whatever reason) doesn't have a setting that allows for the type of particle count or complexity you have there.

#

The CVAR settings in this example have a setting called 'Epic' which allows everything.

#

I can't guarantee this will solve your problem but it's where I'd start.

#

@karmic elm so I used the DefaultEngine.ini from a new blank project (which successfully packaged). When packaging my project with this I still got the same errors and the package failed again, with ExitCode=25. So no luck there I'm afraid. Thanks for the suggestion.

spice wraith Feb 23, 2021, 6:58 PM

#

Thank you @rare reef - i just tried executing the console command fx.MaxCPUParticlesPerEmitter with extreme numbers allowed, but it doesnt work as well..

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 7:01 PM

#

By not as well do you mean you get fewer particles or you get performance issues?

spice wraith Feb 23, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

They still dont show up in a packaged build @rare reef

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

Ah I see. Well bad luck. With that in mind... I really have no idea! I'll think about it and let you know if I come up with anything.

do you need to build the editor/engine from source to do a Test or Debug build?

#

#

still getting that error when trying to build Test of Debug configuration in 4.26.1, now using VS2019...

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 7:20 PM

#

@karmic elm I'm running a DebugGame package now. Oddly I don't see options in the drop-down for the Debug or Test builds, even though I know they exit re: the documentation.

#

@karmic elm I got the AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=25 (Error_UnknownCookFailure)
BUILD FAILED

#

Lots of Unknown Structure errors

#

I ran the launcher with a DebugGame package and excluded all of the maps except the title screen map (just to simplify) and still got lots of errors. I doesn't look as though I ran out of memory, because it doesn't say I did... but I still had some memory reporting: LogCook: Display: Max memory allowance for cook 16384mb min free memory 0mb

#

In other builds it actually says ran out of memory

#

@karmic elm I found someone else in the UE4 forum that had a similar issue: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/961542/view.html but the solution offered (to refresh all the nodes and recompile) did not work for me. It looks like their problem started when they upgraded to 4.25. I also upgraded from 4.23 to 4.25 partway through development.

#

Would it be worthwhile for me to upgrade again?

hard to say but I would only upgrade a copy of the project to a new engine until you are sure you don't need the old one

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

@karmic elm It's a hard decision because currently I cannot build the project and am getting desperate.

karmic elm Feb 23, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

if you have the disc space then you should backup your project files and stuff and duplicate the project off and only upgrade that , because if the upgrade fails it can get stuck in a half state

#

but you can ignore some error messages, it's the stuff in red that you will need to address one way or another in order to build, though

#

you can try ditching that plugin it's mentioning and see if it build the rest of it successfully with degraded functionality perhaps.. depends on what you are doing I imagine.. it's not really my specialty 😉

#

try to exclude anything from the project except what you are trying to ship

rare reef Feb 23, 2021, 8:03 PM

#

@karmic elm Thanks again. I'll continue to explore that. I have the project backed up and archived on a cloud so I'm safe. I can uninstall the whole engine, install a newer version and run the project in that to see if I get fewer errors, and just revert back if I have to. It'll just be an annoying time sink.

#

The frustrating thing is that I get no errors or warnings in the editor. All this stuff just happens when I try to package.

#

Ideally I'd like to figure out a way to address the errors in red in the output for the build when packaging, but I have no idea how. It's showing errors like Unknown Structure on a structure that completely works as intended with no errors in the editor.

karmic elm Feb 23, 2021, 8:08 PM

looks like I can't build at all in VS2019, it's failing to Cook with an Unknown Failure

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 7:06 AM

#

Did you configure the list of maps to package in project settings ? If you didn't, Unreal can't know what you need so the entire project goes

#

(Also it has to be shipping if you intended to release)

delicate isle Feb 24, 2021, 7:12 AM

There's just one map in all project. I created a new blank project and migrated the finished content just to be sure.

#UnrealEngine - UE4 GEMS - Unpack, modify & Pack the *.Pak files

In this video will go in details about how to use the UnrealPak commandline tool to unpack a game packed *.pak file, modify it, remove what might not be needed for the game in order to reduce the final game size, and then pack and compress the game data into a *.pak file again.

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 7:13 AM

#

There is no need to unpack anything - just start with item 1 on packaging which is "tell the engine what to use"

#

Item 2 being "package for shipping"

#

Then you can actually start opimizing by following the doc here : https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/TestingAndOptimization/PerformanceAndProfiling/ReducingPackageSize/index.html

Reducing Packaged Game Size

How to reduce the size of your packaged game.

#

Like checks that your game doesn't come with 500MBs worth of optional PDB files

I already read that, and the map it's defined in the engine maps settings

delicate isle Feb 24, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

I'll try that, thanks for the help

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 7:18 AM

#

#

This right there is the very first thing to do

#

Making sure packages are compressed, moving to Shipping, disabling debug symbols and prerequisites, is next

#

After that you can start looking into the pak file size since the rest will be like 80MB

@karmic elm So far I've followed those instructions which seem to have rebuilt my project files. The first result was that it wanted source code which (maybe due to blueprint) wasn't there (i.e. no source folder). I created a source folder using a blank C++ project and changed all the names over. That worked and it rebuilt, but now there are compile errors in the build. I'm going to reinstall everything and start again.

rare reef Feb 24, 2021, 9:35 AM

#

@karmic elm So I've reinstalled everything. I also uninstalled VS2015, VS2010 and VS2008. I had the old VS2010 express still on my machine, so I completley removed that suite.

#

I went into UE4 editor and updated preferences to select VS2019. I had previously been set to default.

#

I was able to build. During cooking I had a high number of errors: Unknown Structure. I tried for hours to fix this until finally I managed to remove these errors by simply renaming the structures. This forced a recompile of all the associated blueprints.

rare reef Feb 24, 2021, 9:57 AM

#

The only thing that remains an issue is that I get an out of memory critical error during the cooking process, which ends the cook and fails. I've been searching how to resolve out of memory errors while cooking but no luck so far. The machine I'm using has excessive RAM at 32gb but I'm not a hardware guy.

rare reef Feb 24, 2021, 10:29 AM

#

Further update: I kept trying it... just re-running the launcher after each failed cook due to memory loss. On the third try it just worked. That's some science for you.

thick oar Feb 24, 2021, 12:15 PM

#

Long names - not packaging. Tried renaming them manually but still same error

#

although those files dont exist anymore in this name

#

What can I do?

Anyone know why tubrojpeg.dll has randomly appeared next to my packaged binaries? Is it just a plugin that somehow got enabled by accident?

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

It probably is yeah

crisp patrol Feb 24, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

Weirdly I didn't change my plugins since the last build and can't find anything directly related to it in the plugins browser

rare reef Feb 24, 2021, 12:48 PM

#

@thick oar Have you tried: Fix Up Redirectors => close UE4 => delete Save and Intermediate folders => restart and try again?

thick oar Feb 24, 2021, 1:27 PM

#

I could actually fix it with some regedit windows trick

karmic elm Feb 24, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

that's great. I can't get a build from 2019, tried to go back to 2017 only to have troubles building there then.. discovered I still had 2015 installed, now I'm wondering if I'd been building with that.. but I seem to have gotten a build out of 2017 just now

#

I had a list of levels to include specified before. Then I was working with, and packaging, a different map, not linked to anything. So since it was set as the default, the specified map list was not (i think) being included into the build. So I removed that list. Then it wouldn't build at all. So I put the new working map into that list as the single entry and now it's built

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 4:16 PM

#

It looks like you have a bunch of different and unrelated issues

#

Take it step by step, one problem at a time

#

any ideas why I can't build in Test or Debug configurations but it will happily build up Shipping exe files?
Test isn't supported in binary (launcher) releases

#

As to other issue, put up your packaging log on pastebin and we'll see what happens

karmic elm Feb 24, 2021, 4:19 PM

#

what type of release should I be trying to make in order to create Test or Debug builds?

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

To create Test builds you need a source engine build

karmic elm Feb 24, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

ah I see

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 4:20 PM

#

Debug might work though it's a weird target for packaging, Development is probably the one supported for debug packages

#

Shipping being the one you actually release

karmic elm Feb 24, 2021, 4:21 PM

thanks for the insight 🙂

Hey dudes, is there any way to change the location of project's save game files without modifying the engine code?

@open rapids do you have code in your level blueprint in that map? if so it says its bad

mellow bane Feb 24, 2021, 5:56 PM

@glossy iris Nope

Has to be %LOCALAPPDATA%/ProjectName

@open rapids at some point a variable changed in your project from one version to another, it needs to be fixed

one of them is a drop down for enable alpha in post process and it might show disabled

@mental cliff Bug Fix: Added a warning to resave static meshes that invalidate physics when loaded. Meshes that generate the new warning need to be resaved to suppress the warning and ensure deterministic cooking. The warning text is, "Mesh {MeshName} is recomputing physics on load. It must be resaved before it will cook deterministically. Please resave {MeshPath}."

Trying to sort out errors with migrating to another project, with coping folder to migrating but seems to be moving missing files? Is there a better way than doing it singulary by file? cheers

mellow bane Feb 26, 2021, 3:19 PM

#

Use the migrate tool

rare relic Feb 26, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

Is there a way to automatically include all maps within a subdirectory in the package?

mellow bane Feb 26, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

The "force cooks directory" setting in packaging options might help

#

There used to be an "-allmaps" flag for UAT too

tight galleon Feb 26, 2021, 5:24 PM

#

That's something that custom primary asset rules is perfect for I'd guess:

#

Then you make sure to only cook the maps and what they reference instead of everything in the folder, referenced or not.

#

/Maps/Dir should be /Game/Maps/Dir of course, oops.

mellow bane Feb 26, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

The expert on primary asset labels to the rescue.

tight galleon Feb 26, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

Haha last I commented on that topic was a good while ago, nice memory 😄

digital tapir Feb 26, 2021, 5:35 PM

#

@mellow bane Thanks for the thought, but with the migrate tool it's still taking error. looking for missing file that has been deleted. 😦

mellow bane Feb 26, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

Files you want to migrate should be fixed first for missing dependencies, yeah

digital tapir Feb 26, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

done fix redirects on folder, cant see missing assets in a folder to fix so how do you fix them ,.

#

Is there a way of seeing what files a folder things is contained?

mellow bane Feb 26, 2021, 6:41 PM

#

The referencing tool might help for that not sure if it shows broken links

#

Alternatively resaving all assets resets broken refs to null

is that ok ?

The saved folder is a temp convenient folder when using the editor, you can safely ignore it, or clean up once in a while if you run out of storage 🙂

Hi guys, currently our game packages perfectly as a Development build and plays intended on steam, but when we package as a shipping build, Steam decides to close 75% of the time and refuses to create lobbies... during the small 25% of the time the game loads while steam is active in shipping build but lobby creation crashes the game, Steam does know what game is playing, so it isnt an APP ID issue.

Check all of these assets referencing deleted content and fix them, then resave them

gusty geyser Mar 2, 2021, 8:34 PM

#

There are too many assets with "Image" or "TextBlock" :/

mellow bane Mar 2, 2021, 8:35 PM

#

Easiest is to cancel the deletion in your source control software (or roll back to the state before deleting) and check the referencing content at that point

#

Failing that (like people not using source control for some ungodly reason), check your assets based on where you think the content might be used

#

Failing that, run the packaging through VS's debugger and debug the engine code to find the asset names

gusty geyser Mar 2, 2021, 8:36 PM

#

I deleted this plugin a long time ago

mellow bane Mar 2, 2021, 8:37 PM

#

Source control should have the full history of the project so that's not an issue

#

Assuming you are using it of course

Anyway, these are your three options

Is it possible to package clients on a different version to the server?

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

When cooking for windows I get this error, didn't get it before I think.. I have added some c++ defined structs and whatnot.. Finding lots of others with similar errors googling, but seems to be a 4.26 issue. Any ideas? The google results one says I have to run the editor in debug mode to find out which variable(s) cause the issue..

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:52 PM

#

4.26 requires every asset reference to be valid, breaking projects that have broken references in old assets

#

And yeah, the quickest way to find out is to run the packaging through VS, break on the error, find out in call stack which assets broke

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:53 PM

#

Yeah, I thought I had fixed it, I had an uncompiled new header file, built the project outside of editor and restarted but it still fails

#

I guess I might need to compile editor too locally? To get proper debugging.. I might put it off for a while if so..

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:54 PM

#

There is no need for that

#

Just make sure you have the editor debug symbols installed

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

@mellow bane Ah yeah that might help

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

Run the editor, attach VS to UE4, start packaging and you should break automatically on the error

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

Nice, I'll try

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

The only hard part is finding out the broken asset - need to look at variables and possibly navigate the call stack

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

Yeah that is what someone said, search the call stack for some Utils file and the call will have the variable named as input

#

Several say you need to treat it like a file corruption, seems like a bug in 4.26 from the sound of it and might not be corruption but some fixed it by recreating variables

#

I had to replace a lot of references to structs in blueprints with my new c++ struct version..

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

I don't believe it's a bug, though people are quick to call it that when their project no longer packages

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

Hehe yah, might be..

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 7:58 PM

#

Saving the asset in question can be enough to fix the issue

#

So re-saving all assets in content browser can actually fix it

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

Trying to cook, its been 3+ years and mostly blueprints, then half a year porting lots to c++, but never successfull cooked the project. Sort of excited to get it nativized to see how much that helps on performance..

#

I should've obviously cooked it regularly from the start, noob error 🙂

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

Yeah, nativization is not what I would suggest too much, it honestly works 50% of the time

#

If you're truly CPU bound, move stuff to C++

I reckon I just get to test it and see, but yeah agreed, I've already done some tests porting a blueprint class to c++, a shame overloading doesn't work for functions it seems, if you make a blueprint actor (which some need to be because of editor work with meshes and scene), so it will be some work... workarounds.. Till now I've just made blueprint libraries mostly

#

I mean, a blueprint actor inheriting from a c++ actor won't be able to override functions in blueprints.. from my experience.. but this convo is better in #cpp .. 🙂

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 8:06 PM

#

Blueprints can override stuff, the C++ class just needs to allow it and it's not always the call Epic made - usually events are used instead, like for Tick or BeginPlay

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

Yeah, I guess I have to try more things..

#

A while back they changed from overriding events to make functions with same name, maybe the c++ side isn't all caught up with that..

#

It seems like it is WIP, as when I make a c++ class of a bp class, trying to port it, define the same functions and then reparent the bp class to the c++ class, it lists the functions with the name of the c++ class as header, inside the blueprint, but compiling it gives a naming conflict

#

Anyways, a bit digression 🙂

#

Hopefully porting to c++ will get easier

No luck searching callstack, I might have to compile editor? No breakpoint fired, I just chose break all after these msgs, but can't find anything in the callstack.. I resaved all the possibly inflicted blueprints, recompiled them too. Hmm..

Debugger in VS just says "External Code"

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

No breakpoint fired on ensure, with VS's debugger attached to the editor ?

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:07 PM

#

@mellow bane correct

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:08 PM

#

Search the code for "with short package name", put breakpoint there

#

Package again, this time it should break on the first error

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

Well, to get that breakpoint I need to compile the editor too no? I guess. As said I am not compiling from source, just the added c++ gets compiled

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

No

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

the filepaths aren't mine in the msgs

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:09 PM

#

You do not need to compile the editor at all

#

Doesn't matter

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

to the cpp

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

Doesn't matter

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

So if I find the editor code I can add breakpoints..?

#

It's in editor install dir? hmm..

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

If you have a C++ project for your game, assuming you have engine source + engine symbols, which you probably should have - here are the steps

search the code for "with short package name"
put breakpoint there
press f5, should open editor
run packaging

#

Looking at the code though this might be difficult

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:18 PM

#

On it, have to rebuild. had LiveCoding enabled too and it hindered the F5 rebuild.. Might try attach again, but I did find the sourcefile with that msg

#

I put a breakpoint on the last part of failing ensure, well.. WIP..

#

I'm a fairly experienced c++ programmer from before, but just 4 years into UE now.. So, one never stops learning 🙂

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

I just checked again that ensure calls PLATFORM_BREAK so no breakpoint is required, and the one I told you to add probably breaks all the time without the ensure actually triggering

#

(PLATFORM_BREAK triggers a breakpoint automatically if running from VS)

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

I am trying running with F5 now

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

I have to go here but basically it should 'just work' - run with F5 with no breakpoint, package, and wait for VS to open up with the breakpoint and context

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:24 PM

#

Cool, thanks a bunch, learned some valuable things!

mellow bane Mar 3, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

Hoping the callstack search quickly gets you the name of the object being packaged when the error happens, it's the only tricky part

#

The biggest nuisance in the packaging process is not telling you which file fails

#

Good luck

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

mmm, thanks 🙂

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 9:55 PM

#

Sweet I think I found it! At least one of them..

#

So now I reopen the project without F5, delete and remake that variable with another name, and hope 🙂

steady meteor Mar 3, 2021, 10:16 PM

The error has been resolved, and I learned how to run the debugger while cooking, great.

Hi everyone, I have a bit of an issue with building a shipping version of my Linux dedicated server. If I build a debug or development version, then the server operates fine and boots up. If I build a shipping version however, all that happens is I get some output saying that the steamclient.so binary was found, and that is it. The process just hangs and never does anything else from there. It seems like the engine is never initialised. I can confirm this by the fact that the server is not visible in the browser, and no log is created (I have enabled bUseLoggingInShipping in my target.cs file)

#

The profile in the project launcher for debug, development and shipping are all identical except of course for the fact that each one targets a different mode

#

In fact, to be sure, I took the working development profile and just made it target shipping instead. Same issue

#

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting a problem like this

#

I'm running mostly in C++, and I have NOT chosen to nativize any blueprints, as I've had problems when doing that in the past

#

This is using 4.24 source build

sick cape Mar 4, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

Question will the engine just crash and or freez up if you try packaging your game in a location where there may not be anof space for it?

mellow bane Mar 4, 2021, 5:04 PM

Packaging should just stop with an error

I have Android Studio already installed and it was using the NVPACK directory before. I used Android Studio for app signing, would it be safe to uninstall it and reinstall the version they suggest and use the directories they set up? Or will I have to fuss around with the keystore again?

Not really, except that that 'NDKROOT' environment variable is the main thing the engine looks at
