ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception

What I have already done:

Installed C++ for VS.
Deleted config, saves and intermediate folders.
Disabled web plugin.
I downloaded the engine for the launcher. I am not using any source control.

Cooking fails and packaging fails. At this stage I am at despair and I don’t believe that the error is solvable. Hundreds of hours of work into the abbyss, I will never publish my game.

UATHelper: Cooking (Windows): Program.Main: ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception: AutomationTool.AutomationException: Cook failed. —> AutomationTool.CommandletException: BUILD FAILED: Failed while running Cook for C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Documents\Unreal Projects\DreamGame 4.17\DreamGame.uproject; see log C:\Users\User\AppData\Roa ming\Unreal Engine\AutomationTool\Logs\C+Program+Files+Epic+Games+UE_4.17\Cook-2017.11.09-17.52.34.txt

The errors I solved so far:

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ARBITRARY STUDIOS FREE GAME READY ASSETS. They won’t show up in engine and will make packaging fail.
Some starter contect material

** AUTOMATION TOOL still FAILS**

I am having “LoadErrors: Failed to load /Game/StarterContent/Materials/M_Ceramic_Tile_Checker.M_Ceramic_Tile_Checker Referenced by StaticMeshComponent0” error in the logs. I deleted this material and “saved current” but the error still appears

Daguq?
“LoadErrors: Failed to load /Game/ThirdPersonBP/Texture/t_post-53-1139607373_184.t_post-53-1139607373_184 Referenced by MaterialExpressionTextureSample_0”

I don’t have a “Texture” folder and never had. And I don’t know anything about any MaterialExpressionTextureSample_0. Seems like the engine just wants to drawn me down making up errors so I won’t ever publish the game.

Deleted all dashes from contect folders. Didn’t help.

This error keeps popping up:

CookResults: Error: Error loading C:/Users/User/OneDrive/Documents/Unreal Projects/Dream Game 4.17/Content/StarterContent/Textures/T_Ceramic_Tile_M.uasset!
