Also for some reason while packing UE4 is looking for some non-existent content and then says " failed to find file". Wtf?

I deleted “Saved” folder. It didn’t help.

Despite you compiling for windows, it sounds like you need to disable Metal (probably enabled on iOS or Mac?). The problem seems to be a bug, you can see the related information here and here.

In the future I recommend searching these issues on google - I found that info just by searching the error you posted. You’ll usually find information like this much quicker that way rather then waiting for someone to reply.

Oh… Disabling metal? Sounds bad… I don’t have a lot of metal on my scene, but replacing it with something is game-breaking. Anyway, can you please advice how to do it?

Higuy8000 · January 12, 2018, 4:57pm

Disabling metal is not literal as in metal materials but Metal, which is a feature on iOS.

Open your project settings, disable this setting, and try packaging again.

I had the same problem in UE 4.17, and I upgraded to UE 4.23, and made a copy of my game, and the problem went away.
