Hey @ Quetzalcodename!
Sorry for the late reply. I had to take a step away from my UE learning because of work. But no, I never did figure out the error. But the work around above seems to work. Thanks for checking in.
At the moment I’m trying to figure how to import the City Sample project/assets from my vault (there here: Can I import the City Sample set without downloading it again if it’s already on my drive? - Development / Getting Started & Setup - Epic Developer Community Forums (unrealengine.com)
Apart from that it has been ok. Learning a lot. UE is awesome!
