Hi, when creating a project in any location other than the default “~/Documents/Unreal Projects”, the project manager does not show any recent projects. Recent projects do show up in the editor (File → Recent Projects), but not in the project manager/launcher.
I’ve seen many with the same issue, though all are on Windows and none of the workarounds worked for me - I tried setting the path in EditorSettings.ini and creating a temporary project in new location, no joy.
I can only get it to work by creating a symlink at “~/Documents/Unreal Projects” that points to the new projects directory.
Hey, I’ve encountered the same problem, and here’s how I managed to solve it. I’ve read somewhere that one of the *.ini files is used to display recent projects.
It turned out to be this one: /home/igor/.config/Epic/UnrealEngine/5.5/Saved/Config/LinuxEditor/EditorSettings.ini
