Error when launching my packaged game

[ZNRDev]

Hello everybody,

I tried compiling my game and although it did compile, I got this error message:

I looked at other forums and none of them helped. Can you please help me? Thank you.

Also, if you found this topic in the Blueprint section in “Programming & Scripting” then, that is because this project is a blueprint project and not a C++ project.

And to be clear, you tried repackaging your game?

[ZNRDev]

Yes, I tried that and it still doesn’t work.

Just guessing, but have you tried putting the project in a path without any special characters inside?

Take a look at this:

Project crashing due to "missing game files"

There are two situations you’ll likely see this error: you are trying to launch the editor, but accidentally have DebugGame selected (instead of DebugGame Editor). You are trying launch DebugGame (without editor) but you’ve yet to package your project. Essentially when you run DebugGame it will go and look for files in your binary folders (I think) to run your game. If you’ve not gone to File > Package project, you are likely not to have the required files. The package process creates thes…

Make sure that the settings you’re using are correct!

I tried that but, that pretty much didn’t work.
