Assets only visible in windows explorer, not content browser

Hi, Im following a Udemy course and he provided a ue project to supply us with the animations we need for the course. I opened the project but none of the assets are visible in it. They ate visible in the windows explorer, but i csnt get them into my project with any method ive tried. I tried deleting the “saved” and “intermediate” folders in the windiws explorer project folder but that did nothing.

Is there anything else i can try? Ive tried every method i know of to bring the animations from the windows explorer view of his project into my project but they all failed.

I really hope somebidy can help me figure this out.

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like the version of the engine the project was made with is more recent than yours. Could that be?

I have encountered a similar problem, have you solved it?

He says he made it in 5.1 and I use 5.1 as well. I was thinking that too. Thank you for the reply though

Nope. And the Udemy guy seems to have fallen off the face of the earth and should take his course down if he’s no longer replying to his students’ questions.

I’ve tried everything I could think of and everything my friends could think of and nothing works.

I just realized because when I open his project that white box pops up asking which engine version to use. I think that only comes up if you don’t have the version that the project was made with, right? I’m installing 5.2 so I’ll see if that solves it.

That comes up when the project was made in a lower version than you have.
