Hello everyone. Does anybody know how to fix this error. Game packages without any error but when I try to lunch game I get this. Any help would be welcome
Hey any updates on this? Have you found the solution?
Hi WhiteCap,
The bit about āFilenameTooLongā stands out to me.
Iāve seen errors about the File Path being long (C:\way\too\many\folders\deep) but never filenameā¦
In editor: In the content browser ā If you select your āContentā folder ā In the search field you can enter a space (press spacebar once in search field) and that will show all of your assets.
Not sure the exact threshold of characters, but let us know if you see anything excessively long and if shortening them fixes it!
Thank you for the suggestion, Iāve checked the project on long file names but everything seems alright, biggest filenames are textures and materials but not more than 40-50 characters which seem acceptable

Sorry man for late replay. But if you still need this or anyone else the problem was with Gameplay tags. I had to rename all my tags. Donāt know why it was detecting problem with them but that was to core of the problem

Hi DarkRaven,
Thanks for following up. I think it would be good to have the error text written out in the thread. (To help with anyone in the future doing a google search for this error)
FilenameToLongPackageName failed to convert ", The Result would be indistinguishable from using " as the InFilename.
Did you end up solving the issue?
Hey, sorry for the late response. I figured out how to fix it with a not best practice solution (in my opinion) - I built the engine from source, dug into cpp file causing this error, and have added my custom bypassing code for it. So itās kind of crutch, but it worked for me and now Iām using this source build for building and packaging my projects. Check my post here for details - Can't launch my project build: FilenameToLongPackageName failed to convert ''. The Result would be indistinguishable from using '' as the InFilename. - #7 by WhiteCap
