Hello mazhentao, thank you both for posting and welcome to the Unreal community. This error is a interesting. Would you mind letting me know if your project has any plugins you enabled yourself. I am asking because it is possible a plugin may need you to recompile your project or even generate VS project files. There are also a few more causes on the link I will provide shortly. Here is a [relevant thread](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/missing-ue4game-binary/349156) on this subject with a few great solutions. I hope this helps. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/game-works-in-editor-crashes-after-packaging/490391)._
