How can I access WebInterface on packaged project?

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello. I am having issues accessing webinterface on my packaged. Basically I can access the webinterface on the project when UE5 is opened.

Things I have done:

  1. Added -RCWebControlEnable -RCWebInterfaceEnable on a shortcut file of the packaged project
  2. Nothing more yet. Will update if I test other things.

Not sure how will I access it. Does the url changes or something.

Hi, did you ever get this solved? I’m having the same issue, added that to the shortcut but can’t connect.

Can you break things down for me? I tried many methods on this so maybe you need a specific one. Like A LOT.

I need to know if:

  1. What do you mean but not connecting, do you see it exactly not connecting?
  2. What exactly is your plan of usage? How will you use the web controller?
  3. Do you get your error when you try view the controller?

Its kind of blurry how I actually solved it so maybe knowing what you try to do will help me.

Hey, this is even later than the last person, but can you expand on what you had to do to make this work?

Using the web interface to feed parameters into a project to allow customisation of certain elements. Tried the shortcut with the arguments listed but doesn’t connect.

Unpackaged project is set to use loopback address to access web interface and works perfectly when running in editor, but when packaged the web interface doesn’t load, sits on a “page can’t be loaded” state (so essentially “there’s nothing there to connect to”).

I use Aximmetry with Unreal and there is a way to load a cooked project. However, the web server is off by default and also have no idea how to apply this:

“You can enable Remote Control by adding the following flags to the command line when launching the instance of the project. -RCWebControlEnable -RCWebInterfaceEnable”

Documentation is a bit unclear for me.

Any ideas?
