How to get project version

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello guys, is there other way to get the Project Version to show it in to your game?
And by “other way” i mean, to directly acces the project settings file, instead of creating a variable, or installing a non-marketplace plugin.

Many thanks!

No, I mean the game version, patch version, that 3 numbers that you change every time you update your game, more explicit, in ue4 at Edit>Project Settings> Project version

Good luck with that then…

EDIT: Apparently the project version gets written to DefaultGame.ini, if it’s something other than 1.0.0.0.

If that’s true, then you can read it with:

I got a really, truly simplest way to help!

There’s a plugin called “Kickstart Blueprint Library” in UE marketplace.

It has a BP node of “Get Project Version”, it gives you the exact project version string.

For anyone else who landed on this forum post looking for a C++ way to do it without installing a plugin, this code works:

FString UMyClass::GetGameVersion()
{
	FString Version;
	if (!GConfig)
	{
		return "";
	}
	GConfig->GetString(
		TEXT("/Script/EngineSettings.GeneralProjectSettings"),
		TEXT("ProjectVersion"),
		Version,
		GGameIni
	);
	return Version;
}
