Hi everyone, I was hoping that the 4.15 release would have fix the _“ **Couldn’t update resources** ”_ error when trying to package a DLC but the error is still here. Before, there was a workaround by changing the engine source code → [AnswerHub topic](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/414829/packaging-error-exception-in-winautomation-couldnt.html). But since the 4.14 the code has been changed (probably in order to fix the issue, without being really tested I guess since the issue is still here). I’m maybe just doing it wrong though. But I can’t find any proper documentation of the DLC feature so yeah.. 😃 rock&roll. Please find the log of the package process with the error here. Even with this error, the .pak file is still generated in the folder **\Plugins\MYPLUGINSaved\StagedBuilds\WindowsNoEditor\Themis\Content\Paks**. However my .pak doesn’t seem to be loaded at runtime if I place it next to the main game .pak. Would be glad to give more infos about this issue. Any help ? 🙂 Best regards. ## Step to reproduce: 1. Using the binary version of 4.15 : Create a new C++ project (Basic code) with StarterContent 2. Open the project launcher 3. Create a new profile named “FULLGAME” 4. _Do you wish to build_ ? Enabled 5. _Build configuration_: “Shipping” 6. _How would you like to cook the content_ ? By the book 7. Tick only WindowsNoEditor 8. Cooked map : Tick all 3 maps (Advanced\_Lightning, Minimal\_Default, StarterMap) 9. In Release/DLC/Patching settings tick _Create a release version of the game for distribution_ 10. _Name of the new release to create_: “1.0” 11. In advanced settings: Tick _Store all content in a single file (UnrealPak)_ 12. Set _Cooker build configuration_ to “Shipping” 13. _How would you like to package the build_ ? Set to “Package and store locally” 14. Tick _Is this build for distribution to the public_ 15. _How would you like to deploy the build_ ? “Do not deploy” 16. Go back to the ProjectLauncher 17. Launch the “FULLGAME” profile and wait for the process to finish 18. Create a new blank plugin from the PluginBrowser named “testplugin” 19. Restart the editor (and build the .dll) 20. Open the project launcher 21. Create a new profile named “DLCTEST” 22. _Do you wish to build_ ? Enabled 23. _Build configuration_: “Shipping” 24. _How would you like to cook the content_ ? By the book 25. Tick only WindowsNoEditor 26. In Release/DLC/Patching settings: _Release version this is based on_: “1.0” 27. Tick _Build DLC_ 28. _Name of the DLC to build_: “testplugin” 29. In Advanced Settings: Tick _Store all content in a single file (UnrealPack)_ 30. _Cooker build configuration_: Shipping 31. _How would you like to package the build_ ? Set to “Package and store locally” 32. Tick _Is this build for distribution to the public_ 33. _How would you like to deploy the build_ ? “Do not deploy” 34. Go back to the ProjectLauncher 35. Launch the “DLCTEST” profile and wait for the process to finish The error should happens here. My log following theses steps here. Hope this helps. ---

Thank you. Also, if the DLC system is actually supported in UE4, it would be great to get an entry in the documentation at [this chapter](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Deployment/index.html) Best regards. ---

Any new updates on this? I just ran into the exact same issue and checked [UE-42880](https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-42880), which is not updated so far. Is [this method](https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/207655/packaging-error-couldnt-update-resource.html) using a source built engine still the only workaround to build DLCs…? ☹ ---

As I said, the code has been changed since this post so it’s not applicable anymore. Maybe you can try to get into the new code and try to check where the error is raising. ---

You might solve this by not using Package and store locally. Try changing DLC build step’s How would you like to package the build ? to Do not package. ---
