C++ Transition Guide to 5.3

[Rama]

Dear Community,

Yay for 5.3!

Here is a thread where everyone can share their notes and questions about their UE 5.3 upgrade process!

---

The Skeletal Editor Is Here

I would like to say how happy I am that UE now allows us to create and edit Skeletal Meshes right in Unreal Engine!

Unreal Engine, a Full-Fledged 3D Asset Creation Tool

AND the Best Game Engine in the World! <~~~

Visual Studio 2022

You will want to download VS 2022 latest version for use with UE 5.3:

Download Visual Studio Tools - Install Free for Windows, Mac, Linux

Please Regenerate VS Files After Installing VS 2022

Please Make Sure To Delete Intermediate/.sln And Regenerate Project Files, after installing VS 2022 (right click uproject, switch engine version or Generate VS files)

Reason: If you upgrade to 5.3 and generate VS files before installing VS 2022,

Then install VS 2022 after <~~~

Then try to compile, now with the curious Blend of an older .sln + the Fancy Hot Newness of VS 2022,

The Behavior of VS Is Indeterminant <~~~

And Microsoft VS may very well trigger an accidental link via the Azure Cloud that causes a satellite to aim Your Unreal Engine Project Code at the Rings of Saturn,

And only You can possibly know what will be the resulting High Frequency Emission Patterns (HFEPs) from the Rings of Saturn, based on what kind of game you are making!

5.3 Build Error

I been trying to figure this issue for the past few days with no success. I was trying to upgrade my project to 5.3 and I would get this error when trying to build my project. [error] In the screenshot it is the same error in a fresh project. Did anyone else have this problem and was they able to solve it. Also, it works fine in 5.2.
