What fixed the issue for me:
- Open Config/DefaultGame.ini
- Find
[StartupActions]
bAddPacks=True
InsertPack=(PackSource="StarterContent.upack",PackName="StarterContent")
- Comment both startup actions
[StartupActions]
#bAddPacks=True
#InsertPack=(PackSource="StarterContent.upack",PackName="StarterContent")
- Restart the editor.
The error is gone, and there seems to be no side effects.
