lets make this clear…I faced the same problem and And i fixed it just like that considering you starting building the UE4 source code follow this steps along and it should fix your problem: - Open UE4 source code file UE4.sln using Visual studio 2013. - be sure that the mode is “Developer editor” first. - right click on UE4 under engine folder in solution explorer and click rebuild "this will clean any solution before building. - open the UE4 after building and open you saving project . - go to visual studio 2013 and change the mode to development" and then go to UE4 and right click and choose “build” not rebuild…this will compile certain data only not all UE4 I guess. - go back to UE4 and package ur project. voila it should works perfect. keep in mind u should do this once…any time you need to package your game, you don’t need to do the same steps again…just go straight and package them directly . please, just confirm that works for u or not bec. this fixed my issue best of luck ---

Where is UE4.sln? How open? I am create new source project → open VS 2013 → Rebuild all → open UE4 my project click cook content → packing project → Windows, I probably did not understand =)) ---
