Trying to build the UE4 Editor. Can anyone figure this one out?

2

have you changed something in ShaderCompileWorker

3

I haven’t changed anything. This is a fresh install of Windows Studio and a pull from GitHub.

4

have you installed the c# unreal extension for vs

5

I believe I have everything installed for it. I can’t see any other C# packages in the installer. I am using VS 2017 on UE4 4.14, that might be the issue?

I am uninstalling everything and I am going to reinstall, see if that helps.

6

So I uninstalled and reinstalled everything. Now I get a slightly different error.


========== Build: 2 succeeded, 2 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Edit:
Decided to uninstall everything VS and the code and update from 4.14 to 4.18. Everything is compiling now, no errors. It’s at about 80% now but it should hit 100%. I’ve never seen it go this far. Guess I just had to update the code base.

Edit:
Well, didn’t quiet make it to 100%. Latest problem. The project built 100%, the error log below is when I try to run Debug.

Edit:
I don’t know what I did but it all appears to be working now.
