does the unreal engine 4.25.0 work with visual studio 2019
It should.
That is until VS updates. Then you might have the dreaded ‘precompiled header error’, as I currently do.
I use VS2019 and UE 4.25 and its okay. There is a document about setting it up properly. I would recommend using the described extension as well.
it does not
It seems that 2019 is the default for UE4.25+, even though the GitHub repository instructions state to download 2017.

I’ve been seeing other posters mention 2017 fixing issues–particularly with Android packaging–but installing it and setting in the Source Code Editor defaults (in Editor Settings) did not fix my issue. I’ll continue using 2019.
