In the first video of this tutorial series we are setting up the Unreal Engine 5.3.2 project. Even though that might be the least interesting part of this series, stay tuned, because will go through my project and editor settings, import content packs, perform advanced copies of assets and discuss the file and folder structure with some conventions and styleguides in mind. This is also useful to be on the same page when starting this tutorial series.

When I click Create Project, I get this error:

Hey knanchil,
sorry for my late reply. Were you able to resolve your issue in the meantime? The problem is releated to your developer tools. It seems UE 5.4.1 needs 14.30.30705 or newer. However, you have newer versions installed. UE 5.4 works for me with the following toolchain versions installed.:
14.36.32532
14.39.33519
In my tutorial I am using UE 5.3. I only upgrade for the tutorials when there’s a patched Unreal version. I Skip x.x.0 versions and I’d recommend you to do the same. Have you 5.4.0 or 5.4.1 installed?

Thank you very much for your reply. After asking around, I have discovered that my system may be the problem. Im using a beat up mac book pro from 2016 (BootCamp) and my GPU cant be updated. This has caused several problems that prevents unreal from working properly. I will try the toolchains you suggested and I will let you know if my issue is resolved. I think this is ultimately an issue of ignorance on my part, as I’m sure I have messed up the setup somewhere along the process. Thank you again and I will get back with you latest by tomorrow. I will need to redownload visual studio 2022 and it could take a while on my slow internet.
5.4.1
