Cast of child of GameUserSettings fails

I’ve derived GameUserSettings to add a bunch of custom properties to it. I tried making accessible in blueprint by creating a static method that returns the current GameUserSettings cast to my Child Class.

Custom_Settings * Custom_Settings::GetCustom_Settings() {
	return Cast<Custom_Settings>(GEngine->GameUserSettings);
}

Unforunately, the cast fails and returns null, which leads to UE complaining about trying to access none in blueprint (naturally). There was a similar question here, but that led me nowhere, since I’ve already set DefaultEngine.ini to use my custom settings

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
GameUserSettingsClassName=/Script/MyGame.Custom_Settings

I’ve checked whether GEngine can fetch the Settings, and it appears it can.
Does anybody have an idea why the cast might be failing?

After trying all manner of things, deleting the .vs, Binaries, Intermediate, Saved and .sln, rebuilding the VS Files and building the project from there turned out to solve this problem.
