The current version of the _Content Example_ project (4.11 edition), fails to materialize.

Hi Unit23,

Make sure you’re using the latest build. Double check this in the launcher \> Library \> Engine Version 4.11. You may need to verify, especially if you upgraded from a preview release and not just directly downloading 4.11 final release.

This type of error will happen if the map/asset was created with a newer version of the editor than what you are working with.

Thank you!

Tim

I’ve deleted the old 4.9 content example folder, and installed the 4.11 in the same location. Will redownload and use a different folder.

Just wanted to havwe a look at the character rendering so I installed Content Example 4.12 and opened Character\_Rendering map. Hair and eye is there but no character. Is it still expected/considered a knwon bug?

What you are referring to is actually a different issue than what was reported. This post deals specifically with the thumbnail not being generated in the Open Level window from the File dropdown.

If you could, please create a new AnswerHub post for the issue you are experiencing, as this is done for tracking purposes.

Thank you,
