You may have to build the UE4 project with your IDE. Alternatively, build using UnrealBuildTool with the commandline:

Hey G7dme,

Please try to delete your Intermediate, Saved and Config folders from your project folder and try to repackage your project. If it fails again, please upload your error output as a .txt file? You can do so within your next reply.

Thank you!

hi please except my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. the desert racer I made was a modified version of the racer demo programme I added an additional vehicle, effects and scenery to it so my grand children could race each other unfortunately it appears in its not possible to compile this into a stand alone programme it appears the binaries needed have been purposely left out presumably to stop it being modified and updated.
maybe you can confirm this situation, there is a precompiled version supplied with it which under normal circumstances you would use to play it. it was a disappointment because I spent some hours making the updated version for the children to play with but hay that’s life.

Many thanks

Hey,

I would highly suggest that you scour over the forums and through AnswerHub for splitscreen multiplayer options. You may also want to look at the Shooter Game demo that’s available under the Learn tab on the Epic Games Launcher.

Here is a [link to documentation][1] for Online & Networking which may be useful for what you’re attempting!
