Hi, so i’ve got two different projects going, one in 5.4 and one in 5.3, I recently migrated a few assets from my 5.4 project to my 5.3 project and now the 5.3 project is all messed up. Metahuman blue prints, material, postprocesses and other stuff are all not working/gone now.

I also idiotically press yes to all the “this assest already exists at location … would you like to overwrite it?” prompt. Basically i’m a moron and need some smart people to help me haha

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks!

p.s.- i’m not sure what category to put this under, so hopefully i put it in the right place!

Hey there @Quarter_Wit! So uassets are tied to their engine version and aren’t meant to be backported. Even upgrading them to the next version requires the engine to handle that operation to avoid errors. In your case, the easiest way to keep everything, would be to return the assets to your 5.4 version and just continue development there unless there was a major blocker for the 5.4 version.

You can use my Asset Downgrader to downgrade your assets to 5.3. If you encounter any issues or bugs let me know so I can fix them.
