I’m using UE4 for school, and for whatever reason, I can’t get any menus to open. I click on blueprint, and rarely will it open the submenu. I click on File, and have yet to see it open at all. No menus seem to work. Clicking build arrow never opens the sub menu, but will clicking build the level. I can navigate, drag objects into the scene, almost everything else. But cannot use any menus… Any thoughts?
dual monitors wouldnt cause an issue like that. i personally use three monitors without issue.
… this kind of thing has never happened to me… but two thoughts that might help: how much RAM does your school’s system have and can you update to 4.18?
It’s not a school computer, it’s my personal PC. I have 16 GB of RAM, with 22 GB of virtual memory, it seems. (12.3 GB available). I use a dual monitor setup, and have noted that sometimes moving the engine to my 36" seems to allow some menus to open… occasionally… I have a 42" Ceptre, and a 36" Emerson TVs that I use as monitors. I am starting to wonder if the dual monitor isn’t the source of my problem. I’m also trying to remember how to encourse Unreal to update to the newer versions, to see if that will fix it.
yep, you’ve got plenty of RAM… more than sufficient
just go to the Epic Games Launcher > Library > Engine Version > download 4.18
I am in the process of upgrading UE4 to 4.18.3… Hopefully that helps… I’m falling behind in class, and that is entirely unacceptable.
Also… When I started a new project, I could not change any of the options of what the project was for, quality, or content… I am assuming it’s a related issue, but figured it could be helpful.
… like when you start a new project from the Epic Games Launcher, not from Unreal Editor?
if so… your issue sounds really unusual (and kind of like an OS issue)
When I open it, and get to choose to load a project or create a new project. The options under new project don’t work.
If it happens after updating to the new engine, I’ll be sure to get a screenshot and post it.
Good news… Updating to 4.18.3 fixed all the issues… I have no clue what the heck was going on, but all menus appear to be working!
fixed! yay!
