5.3 Can not create new project. Failed to process file {ConfigFile}.

Updated to 5.3 and using the same folder for all my other projects. I was successful at copying an existing project to 5.3 so I know I have folder permissions.

But when I try to make a new project I get the error “Failed to process file {ConfigFile}.”

I’m running into the exact same thing. For me, it’s happening on trying to create a blank blueprint mobile project.

Hi there. Anyone managed to get to the bottom of this? I have the same “error” when creating a new project in my custom folder. I don’t get this message when I create a project in the Unreal default project location.

I have not found a solution.

I just now made another project and it gave me the same error. I closed unreal and opened my custom directory and deleted the folder it created when I attempted to make the new project. Then I reopened unreal and tried to make the project again with the same name and it worked.

I had the same problem but I’ve found a solution. My project folder was under my Dropbox folder, when I paused the Dropbox sync the project was created properly.
