Constantly getting this error:

**2022-04-07 15:41:17.411824-0400 UnrealEditor[94435:351122] [UE] MessageBox: Message : Failed to open descriptor file ../../../../../../Documents/Unreal Projects/Prototype7 5.1/Prototype.uproject**

I get this when building C++ projects with both the 5.0 Release & ue5-main.

It went away after a clean, but has come back again now.

Never seen it before installing the 5.0 release. Not sure if related, but the timing is suspect.

XCode 13.3.
64GB M1 Max 16" MacBook Pro.
Montery 12.3.1

Any ideas?

Did you find a fix, I’m getting this trying to convert ue4 terrain to ue5 world part.

TY!!

I ended up moving to windows, too much pain on the mac.

I don’t recall the fix but I do recall iCloud being an issue. Try moving your project outside iCloud sync and see if that helps.

I’m getting this issue on a Linux development build. Would love to know if anyone has found an answer. I only seem to find solutions for Android.
