I just want to package the game.

I did reset the layout to default, verify installation, restart editor, restart pc.

Any help will be appreciated 😉

Hello @K.O.D12,  
in UE 5.7, the **Platforms** button is now located on the top toolbar, between **Build** and **Select**.  
UE 5.6

I don’t even see that here, that box is empty for me. I tried clicking around and changing open windows but it doesn’t show any platforms in there. What am I doing wrong? I tried resetting layout to default, restarting, etc as well. I’m on the MAC version of Unreal engine 5.7, built from source with zero changes to the source.

You have to be on the Level tab to see the Platforms selection.

Seriously…this is one of those “Why is Epic the way they are?” issues. Same reason I ask why I ave to already have a blueprint open to be able to use “Find in Blueprints”. It’s a global function, but I can’t use it globally?

Anywho, thanks for letting me rant. Happy Monday!
