I have several contents created in uasset format, some from 4.27 … when I open it in 4.27 it loads normally in 5.2 or 5.1 it gives an error.
should there be a conversion medium to work? Could someone please help, I have a lot of content like this and I can’t use it because it gives an error.
Hey there @MizeboxBR! Welcome to the community! So assets from any version of UE apart from the version it’s currently on will not be recognized. To update these files, you must (first backup) then update the project they are a part of, then migrate them out using the migration tool. This is so the engine can make proper changes to anything they need to before the asset can go to a new engine version. If this was not the case, you’d be able to import versions of older scripts that are using changed/deprecated functionalities and breaking your project.
You can open your old project after launching the version you’d like and it will prompt you to update and ask you if you want to make a copy to update it or update the original. Always make a copy when doing this in case migration has issues.
