This occurs regardless of project. It can be empty but this still happens.

Steps I would take

  1. Copy all contents and levels into a new, clean project and see if it packages there.
    If that doesn’t work,

2.Validate Your version of Unreal and repeat #1
If that doesn’t work, I’d go into every script/blueprint and make sure nothing is corrupted

The going into every script/blueprint and make sure nothing is corrupted part helped a lot, thanks!
