"Failed to save dependant map packages"

Blackbirdlore · February 4, 2023, 5:52am

This is the error I received trying to save for the first time in Unreal 5.1. I ran a blank game project. Blueprint on, Platform Desktop, Quality Maximum, starter content turned on, and raytracing turned off.

I added a few items, playing along with Unreal Sensei’s latest tutorial. When I went to save, I got the error in the title. as well as 6 Editor errors, which you can see at the bottom of the log (which I can’t upload because I’m too new, so I’ve copy-pasted below.

After ‘saving,’ trying to save again with the same name says "A file with that name already exists,’ even though it doesn’t. Another thing I noticed is when it names these things in the LogSavePackage, it’s attenuating the previous names. for example: “…/Maps/112_111_TestSave_PostProcessExample_save1_NewMap_HLOD0_Instancing.asset” 112 through NewMap are all names I’ve tried to use to save this new map, just to recreate the issue and try to figure it out myself.

It seems like Unreal Engine is having trouble moving some files to the final location after saving. The error message is referencing a number of external assets, which may be causing the issue.

Try the following steps to resolve the issue:

Make sure that the project folder has the necessary permissions to save files and assets.
Try to manually delete the “tmp” files in the “Saved” folder of your project, as they may be causing conflicts with the saving process.
If the issue persists, try creating a new project and see if the same problem occurs. This can help you determine if the issue is specific to this particular project or if it’s a general issue with Unreal Engine.
If the problem still persists, try restarting Unreal Engine and your computer.

Seeing this with a project saved to OneDrive as well. As added info, I’m teaching from a school setting and our OneDrive accounts are managed by the school district.
