I think I figured it out. It’s some kind of plugin error. I had uninstalled some plugins, but reinstalled them, and now it seems to be building.  
Here is one of the occurrences:  
[AI for NPC, MetaHuman - Dialog, actions and general intelligence - by Convai in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace](http://marketplace-website-node-launcher-prod.ol.epicgames.com/ue/marketplace/en-US/product/convai/questions)  
CTRL+F -ed and found some one was having the same issues because Google Firestore was having complicacies with the plugin/s that the author of that asset created/implemented.

Exact same error here.  
Is it supposed to be audio related error ?  
All my WAVs and Audio cues don’t have anything in the “sound class” slot.  
Is it because of that ?

Same error here too. I’ve been using the MetaHuman, so I’m assuming that the issue is around that. Gonna keep following this thread…

I got this problem too when I was trying to build. I had two problems:

1. My visual studio did not have the c++ packages installed for windows app development and game development, so I installed those and updated visual studio (community 2019 because I also develop on Unity)
2. My file path for my project contained a special character, so once I moved the project folder out to a different directory with no special characters, it worked.

Hope this helps!

Hi every one,

I had the same issue than you.  
PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error  
LogAudioMixer: Warning: Decoder Error, stopping source [CompileFailed]

I’m working on Unreal Engine 5.1.1, my project contains not a lot of Blueprints and code, and I had this error so I didn’t understand where the problem came from.

I finaly fixed the issue and my project have been package well.

Step to follow:

1. Install Visual studio 2022 or Update the old version to the lastet version.  
2.Open the VisualStudio22\_Installer and enable the following settings:

- Desktop & Mobile section:

- Enable “Desktop development with C++”

- Game section:

- Enable “Games development with Unity”
- Enable “Games development with C++”

Go back on your Unreal project:

1. In the project settings/ Platforms/ Windows  
In the D3D12/ D3D11 Targeted Shader Formats, make sure that **SM5** and **SM6** are enabled (Enable SM5 for both).

2. You can find below the previous section “Toolchain”, apply **Visual studio 2022**.

3. Close the project settings.

4. In the project Editor go on the Platorms panel to package your project, and in the **windows platform/ DESKTOP-…** , click on **Force Update Device** (to update your SDK drivers) and restart your project.

5. When your project is restarted, go on the **Platforms** panel, select windows and **Package project**

I hope it will work for you guys. If not I found the problem by launching the game with the **Project Launcher**  
The Output Log send me this message:  
ERROR: UnrealBuildTool has banned the MSVC 14.32.31326-14.32.31328  
toolchains due to compiler issues. Please install a different toolchain  
from the Visual Studio installer.

So I updated Visual Studio and verified that the new version is compatible with my project settings.
