Hello!

It seems that engine content can’t be cooked?
I always get this Error while packaging for Windows and Linux.

UATHelper: Cooking (LinuxArm64): LogInit: Display: LogCook: Error: Content is missing from cook. Source package referenced an object in target package but the target package was marked NeverCook or is not cookable for the target platform.

And many more like this.

I found this post, but it was for 5.5 and I am using 5.4 and the solution did not work:

Can anyone help?

I get this error as well. I don’t know how to fix, so if you find out please post the solution. Also, for me it’s not just engine materials, so I can’t just delete them.

Hey there!

Delete (make sure you back them up!) this folders on your project folder:
Intermediate | DerivedDataCache | .VSconfig

If it doesn’t work:

uninstall unreal engine
uninstall unreal engine pre requisites
uninstall Visual studio
Install UE
Install VS
Install UE pre Requisites
it might be just Vs but thats what i did in order to fix!
