So i am trying to export/package a game in ue 5.5 and when i normally do it, it’s works. But when i try to export it with “exclude editor content from packaging” checked, it gives me a ton of errors and doesnt package, and says “unkown cook failure” what do i do i need the editor content off to reduce the game size ☹
