I’m stuck with the compiler error:
“dbsbuild : error : (8ae31fae-3e3a-46ad-9485-80b91f5c34e3,134): line(1) : error: expected \uXXXX escape sequence”
- My first try was the epic launcher version, I tried porting my game and this error was the outcome of the compiling.
- However, this compiler error also occurred when I tried to create a fresh first person shooter project based on c++ in ue5.
- Now I downloaded the git version of ue5… and with the attempt to compile the engine from source, this error occurred as well.
More info:
- Epic Launcher ue5 version with a blueprint only project was working very well.
- Reinstalling visual studio 2019 (community) and trying out different c++ toolchain versions did not solve the problem.
- Compiling in ue4 works as intended.
Full output of the error:
