Did you find out the way solve this?

rent_treznor · December 14, 2021, 5:28pm

I did.

I had to download 4.27 though, 4.26.1 was broken.

Download 4.27, unzip to the root of a drive (otherwise your path names become too long and stuff will fail)
Download the correct Nintendo SDK
Download the correct Nintendo project files, unzip into the UE4 directory
Open the visual studio installer, then you need to customize the install and choose Game Development With C++, as you’ll need those components
Click Setup.bat
Click Generate Project Files.bat
Open the .sln file generated
Choose the target architecture above x64 and need to build it as ‘Development Editor’.
Click Build
Wait many hours
in your ue4 folder, under Engine\Binaries\win64 run ue4editor

Did those steps resolve your problem?

Manu_Fury_2 · January 23, 2022, 11:39am

Yes they did, although I used 4.26.2, which wasn’t broken, and worked perfectly.
