Can't load game due to GameFeatureData plugin missing

Hey all, so recently I was moving some assets in the Content Browser into a folder, I later then realized that I didn’t need them so I deleted the folder and it would seem that I had accidentally selected the GameFeatureData plugin when I was moving things into the folder which I had later deleted. I noticed this when I could no longer push any changes to the Game View in Fortnite Creative. The next day I tried to open the project and will no longer allow me to do so. Any attempt gives me this error;
Failed to open project
C:/Users/▌▌▌▌▌/Documents/Fortnite Projects/IOBaseUEFN/IOBaseUEFN.uefnproject

Failed to load game feature plugin
C:/Users/▌▌▌▌▌/Documents/Fortnite Projects/IOBaseUEFN/Plugins/IOBaseUEFN/IOBaseUEFN.uplugin
Failure, ErrorCode=GameFeaturePlugin.StateMachine.RegisteringPlugin_Missing_GameFeatureData, OptionalErrorText=

I just wanted to know how to get the GameFeatureData plugin back without being able to open the project, as I really don’t want to restart my project because of this little mistake.

Hi, did you find out how to solve this problem since ? I have the same problem now

Are you using Dropbox or any other cloud service?

I made the same mistake and had the same problem as you.

I deleted the UEFN project directory in my PC and retrieved the project data again from online.

The directory I downloaded contained “GameFeatureData.uasset” so I was able to open the project.

I know its a bit late, but how did you delete the project directory? Then how did you retrieve the data again from online. Thanks.
