How to start UE4 instance when building from source after I've closed the Visual Studio project without having to build it from scratch every time?

Hi braekbot

Once your build of UE Source is complete. The executable for the editor is located here:

C:[Unreal Srouce]\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.exe

You can create a shortcut to your desktop or something.

I also recommend you running:

C:[Unreal Srouce]\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealVersionSelector.exe

This will register your build so you can access the build from the “Select Version” menu when you right click a .uproject file.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
