Esse erro “ExitCode 6” aconteceu comigo e o problema era o caminho do projeto. Meu nome de usuário contém caracter especial, por isso minhas pasta de usuário também contém esse caractere. Quando movi a pasta do projeto pra raiz do meu disco C: consegui compilar sem nenhum problema. Fica aqui a dica caso alguém passe por essa mesma situação. ---

Packaging works with Live coding enabled for me – What solved the issue for me was removing unneeded includes in some of my C++ files. I was for example trying to include a blueprint widget header – my code compiled fine in visual studio, but when I went to package the game it really messed stuff up Removing those headers fixed it ---
