ADK DoesPackageExist Error

I am new to trying to mod Ark with the ark editor and have been getting this error.

[2023.02.25-02.22.27:044][ 0]LogLongPackageNames:Warning: URL: ShooterGame.uproject: Name may not contain the following characters: .
[2023.02.25-02.22.27:045][ 0]LogPackageName:Error: DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: ‘ShooterGame/ShooterGame.uproject’ is not a standard unreal filename or a long path name. Reason: Path should start with a ‘/’

I don’t know what they mean or even if they are important. I have tried verifying ADK files and a fresh clean install with no change. I don’t know if this is causing my freezes and crashes in ADk or how to fix this error.
