A lot of epic errors

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hello people. I’m Russian - sorry for my English. I want to develop for Unreal and today I have tried to start. I use Windows 8.1, UnrealEngine 4.9, Visual Studio 2013:

  1. When I tried to make a new project by Blueprint - First Person: it shows me Load Errors:

    Error /Game/FirstPersonBP/Maps/FirstPersonExampleMap : Failed import for SkeletalMeshComponent /Game/FirstPersonBP/Blueprints/FirstPersonCharacter.FirstPersonCharacter_C:SkeletalMesh_GEN_VARIABLE

I can use editor, but it’s strangely. Next I try to make C++ class. Class added, but it failed to compile newly created game module:

Successfully added class 'MyActor', however you must recompile the 'MyProject' module before it will appear in the Content Browser. Failed to compile newly created game module.

Would you like to open the Output Log to see more details?

Details you can see in the attached file.

  1. When I tried to make a new project by C++ - First Person: it cant open editor and gives error:

    The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Well seeing this ╨Ь╨╛╨╕ ╨┤╨╛╨║╤Г╨╝╨╡╨╜╤В╤Л and H:\?????? ???????????????'?<\ the problem is pretty obviues, there character encoding issue. change directory name to latin characters. Using non latin characters in file system is not really good idea because different software may react to it differently, this might be file system issue, not using unicode.

Thank you. Problem solved

If you have problem with Cyrillic characters in your path to the UnrealEngine files, you can use 2 easy ways to solve this problem:

  1. You can create new user in your Windows OS with Latin characters username and use Unreal by this user.
  2. You can change path of your Projects folder. When you create a new project you must type in the bottom Project name and Project folder. Just change Project folder to the best folder without Cyrillic characters. For example: I change this to: “H:\Projects”. My “H” drive have a lot of free space, path short and no problem with Cyrillic characters.

I had an identical problem with Unreal Engine 4.20.3
The problem was solved by reinstalling the UE and installing the update and all components for VS2017
Maybe it would be helpful for someone else
