Hello. I am new. I have no idea what to do or how… Trying to find the answer is very difficult, I also have no idea how to navigate in this forum… any help I really appreciate it. Hoping to talk to someone, my name is Victor, and hopefully someone will read this and help me, thanks in advanced… and also how would I know if someone is answering back? The site is too overwhelming with 20 millions things, and I have no idea where to click…
Thanks I upload this on April 28 - 2025 @ 1:42 pm
For BASIC and STANDARD questions new chatgPT is great, it can search internet. It is like StackOverflow mixed with google, and some ai that can understand what your problem is without knowing exact keywords (like google is useless when you do not know how something is named).
So ask chatGPT, but remember it has tendence to make up things when it does not know answer, so always double check.
Example of recent ChatGPT making stuff up:
I asked it if UEFN (unreal for fortnite) has any major update around creating custom game modes that are not 3rd person shooter. And Chat happily answered that yes UEFN is great now.
So i asked it to give me VERSE example code for 2d sidescroller camera. Well i got verse code, however it was some java code translated to verse, and with API (functions) right from unreal 5.
So all of it was just made up garbage.

Thank you! - I saw the little grey circle on the corner - Thanks… So How do I fix the problem I have with the errors when Cooking, As I try to package my game? Can you help me with that?-
Thanks. I use ChatGPT - for BASIC and STANDART questions - But the ERROR I have when cookimg or package mt game is not there, and so far no one can help me with that. I heard that if you pay money to unreal engine they can gave you more support… is that true?
If possible, can we have a look at the error logs? You can find your logs under your project directory here<YourProject>\Saved\Logs\, it should be named YourProjectName.log you can upload that to the forums here, copy and paste it in (with formatting like this ``` Your Logs```, or if you prefer you can post them to something like PasteBin and link them here.
Thank you for answering… This is great news! - Wish you could help me or guide me to find the answer… I just want to pack my game so people can play it on iPgone iPad or computer - Thanks

I have a lot of those…
We need the full log from the log file as mentioned in the previous post, it may point to which assets arent being cooked.
Hello.
Thank you.
You - “We need the full log from the log file”
Me - “How do I do that?” - Where do I get if from? - Is there a video showing me how to do this?
Thanks
Hello:
I did not see any “logs” I hope this screenshot will help - Thanks for helping me… I just don’t understand why this should be so difficult to resolve… I wish I could have someone to talk to… even if I have to pay…
Oh that’s interesting, even on MacOS I believe the folder should be under that directory. If possible, launch the project, and test it in PIE (play in editor) for a moment, then check that again to see if it generates. If it doesn’t generate, something else is likely wrong.
Alternatively you can try to look over your log in engine again, it often mentions a location to a specific log file that would probably look somewhat like Build failed!: Error code: 0 - More information can be found at "/Users/Shared/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Programs/AutomationTool/Saved/Logs/"
Since you’re having lots of cook issues, we can work on trying to resolve those first. Basically your game is trying to access things that are set to NeverCook. If you didn’t set these manually, it’s likely some of your in game blueprints may be referencing some editor utility (that never gets cooked since it’s not for in game use) causing this issue. This could be due to another plugin if you didn’t work with anything external yourself.
