Can't load ShooterGame in 4.4.0

I’ve just installed a fresh copy of the ShooterGame example but it won’t load:

I’m unable to compile it and so it won’t load. I was able to load a new copy of the Content Examples project fin. Any advice?

Try removing the ShooterGame content and also delete the folder from the Unreal Projects folder. Then download a fresh copy.
There could be a migration issue from the older version to 4.4.0 and downloading a new copy over the old one probably just replaces files in the old folder which breaks the compile I suppose.

I’ve got the exact same problem, I’ve removed the game and redownloaded it. Didn’t work. Removed Unreal Engine 4.4 entirely, removed all projects and re-installed everything from scratch. Still no luck. I went through the log and it gave an error about missing some windows 8.1 SDK so I downloaded that. But it’s still a no go. Seems like it needs Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 installed.

Ya you have to have VSE installed and compile any new project - also make sure you have downloaded the engine version that it needs for that project. IE some projects are written for say 4.0 only and will only work in 4.0.

Thus if all you have downloaded is the latest engine what is it 4.5 now? Then you grab an early project that is made for 4.0 and try to run it in 4.5 it could have issues.

So download the correct engine for the correct project and then make sure you have MSVE latest and compile it before opening. Go into the project directory and launch the solution file IE the .SLN file and then hit build. You might also want to try and right click on your .uproject file and change the engine # and then generate the visual studio file if needed.

Same issue here, it worked before updating my 4.4.0 to a mysterious new 4.4.0 and since this, no luck.

Hi,
I had the same problem with the sample vehicle game. The problem is caused by the fact that you have upgraded to the 4.4.1 hotfix preview. To fix, add this line to the properties section of the Unreal engine 4 launcher shortcut

-AppLabel=Production-4.4.1HotfixPreview

After you add this line and re-start the launcher, you should be able to fire up your project. Hope this helps!
