Hello, I’m trying to load asset from .pak file, this pak have : - A Texture - A SkeletalMesh - A Skeleton - A PhysicsAsset This is my project folder tree: MyProject/Content/ : - PAK/ (contain “2286.pak”) - UNPAK/ So I’m loading the .pak at runtime in the UNPAK/ folder but i’m not able to LOAD these assets to use them after…I tried different things to load them but every time I got errors like “File not found”. ![200227-unpak_bug.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/9/3/1/9311308d8decc34b38db68301b745afabbf201ff.jpeg) ![200228-unpak_bug_3.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/e/c/1ecc7af49ffec6d92f80af9d12e13f37e3cae402.jpeg) Here is the function and the output logs… I think they’re not “loaded” properly 'cause when I put these assets into an other folder, save the project, quit and come back I can use “EngineUtils::FindOrLoadAssetsByPath” and it work… I think they’re “cook”. What I really want is load a pak file and use the assets at runtime… If someone have an idea on why it doesn’t work… I will be really happy 😃 Thanks. ~Nyudeb ---

Adding an ‘answer’ to own question make it only worse. Since people will see that it’s have one answer already. Also it won’t pop up in ‘unanswered’ list. ---

I found the solution … I was just not on the right process. I am currently stocking my .uasset in a .zip that I download and that I unzip directly into the project. I then use these assets to construct my character. I use this plugin to unzip my files : > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline.
