Malformed Tag and "Too old" errors?

I’m getting errors for a few of my uassets when packaging or cooking. They say:

  • PackagingResults: Error: Package …/…/…/…/…/…/Users/mbwhi/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject/Content/Overworld/GatherPointPopup.uasset has malformed tag

I also get "LogAssetRegistry: Error: Package …/…/…/…/…/…/Users/mbwhi/Documents/Unreal Project/MyProject/Content/F_ItemInfo.uasset is too old

“Content” Folder - Try to “Fix Up Redirectors” for this whole folder

Malformed Tag means that there’s a corrupt file. You need to open Windows Explorer and browse to the directory where the file is mentioned and then delete the culprit. Usually, this is from a re-naming, moving, or deleting error. Fix Up Redirectors is important, but it often won’t find these files because they won’t actually show up in the Content Browser.

is this a new bug in 4.27 or something? I have the same issues and I never seen these errors before until now

Clearly not if the OP posted in March of 21. 4.27 came out in August :stuck_out_tongue:
