I searched all other topics but nothing from current version of UE 4.15. My problem started as a export/migration issue but to trouble shoot I decided to start from scratch. Now it happens with the VR project template. I choose new project in UE 4.15 and choose the VR template. I tried both minimal settings without starter content and with high settings for Desktop builds. On the first load it works fine. When I close the project without any changes or saves and open it again it brings the map error. So after the first load the map does not work. I have windows 10. Do I need to post other specs?
On top of this, Other files that are in the directory are not visible by the editor.
Hello cheesepants,
I have been unable to reproduce this issue on our end. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.
Quick questions:
- Does this occur with all projects?
- Could you provide the exact error message that you are seeing?
- Could you try Verifying your engine and let me know if this helps?
- Could you try deleting your saved and intermediate folders?
-
It occurs on all UE 4.15 projects mine and the example files. I have not downloaded 4.14 but I had a 4.11 project and everything works fine.
-
The exact error message is:
Failed to load map!
…/…/…/…/…/…/Users/Cheesepants/Documents/UnrealProjects/MyProject/Content/VirtualRealityBP/Maps/StartupMap.umap appears to be an asset file. -
I did a verify and that did not help.
-
Deleting intermediate and saved folders does not change the situation.
I think there is a association problem. I manually did associate the file with the .exe file and but the editor still had problems recognizing it. So I have to continually click on the unreal engine file to open my project. I saw there was an update with bug fixes. After I updated the launcher had a pop up to fix associations and everything worked fine. How can I fix the launcher so that it knows how to open my files correctly? If that pop up came every time there is an issue I would be set.
So problem solved, maybe because of the update. I am just wondering what made the pop up come up? For future reference and other people having similar issues. There has to be a way to force the editor to bring the fix now, pop up menu .
I am happy to hear that your issue has been resolved. I have provided a link to another thread in regards to having the popup for association come up. I hope that this information helps.
Make it a great day
