4.7.3 can not disable xge

Hi guys,

I have post a bug report at:

I want to disable xge but it seems not works.
1, i add this to Epic Games\4.7\Engine\Saved\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
	<BuildConfiguration>
		<bAllowXGE>false</bAllowXGE>
	</BuildConfiguration>
</Configuration>

but it not works.
2, i direct modify Epic Games\4.7\Engine\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml
it not works too…

3, C:\Users\EAGLE_2\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\UnrealBuildTool have a config file, but it’s empty like the one which in Saved directory.

There are four possible location for this file:
a. UE4/Engine/Programs/UnrealBuildTool
b. UE4/Engine/Programs/NotForLicensees/UnrealBuildTool
c. UE4/Engine/Saved/UnrealBuildTool
d. My Documents/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool

The UBT is looking for it in all four places in the given order and
overrides already read data with the loaded ones, hence d. has the
priority. Not defined classes and fields are left alone.

the package action still using xge

update: disable xge is worked in vs2013 (press F7). but package action is still using xge even disabled in config.

one more thing: incredibuild in vs2013 should press F7(vs build solution) not ctrl + alt + 8(indredibuild’s build solution).

F7 will call incredibuild after inited, but direct use incredibuild will failed.

I have uninstalled incredibuild, package action not use xge now. but still build failed …

This is a sad story~~

It is not a problem now.

How did you fix it? I’m getting this same thing on 4.8.

Hi paragonx9,
Sorry for the late, Incredibuild is not necessarily disable, can not open input file Game-Redist-DesktopPlatform.lib is a problem in UE4. An epic staff said that they found this problem, but their inner version works well.

So i have given up. :frowning:
