But whenever I’m creating a new Plugin it gets the status code “ErrorRegistering” and I get the following output log with 3 Errors:

When I try to set the Plugin State to “Active” in the GameFeature Window, the window crashes and the plugin folder is not shown in Unreal Engine Content browser anymore.
The folder is still existent & visible in the Windows Explorer.
What am I doing wrong? I’m just following instructions on a freshly created project??
After completely wiping my system and installing a fresh windows, I still get the same error.
But at least the GameFeatureData Editor window doesn’t crash when I’m trying to set the current state to “Registered”, “Loaded”, or “Active”, but instead shows an error indicator:
However clicking “Installed” still crashes the window.
But I’m still confused as why this is happening, if I’m in the GamefeatureData Editor window how can the GameFeatureData be missing?
Sadly I’m still stuck at this Error. While the ErrorRegistering warning now disappears after saving the ModularGameFeature the Window still crashes when setting it to installed. With errors like this:
LogPackageName: Warning: DoesPackageExist called on PackageName that will always return false. Reason: Input '/CombatTargetLock/InFocusMaterial' is not a child of an existing mount point.
LogPackageName: Warning: DoesPackageExist called on PackageName that will always return false. Reason: Input '/CombatTargetLock/CombatTargetLockCharacter' is not a child of an existing mount point.

LogPackageName: Warning: DoesPackageExist called on PackageName that will always return false. Reason: Input '/CombatTargetLock/CombatCameraControl' is not a child of an existing mount point.
After a Restart of the Engine the plugin folder is no longer visible in the Content Drawer. It seems like it’s a mounting problem with some virtual file system Unreal Engine uses under the hood? Does someone know how to fix this issue?
Even if I don’t set it to installed and just to registered, the problem still remains. After a restart of the engine the folders of the plugins disappear. I suppose it has something to do with these errors, that I get when creating the Game Feature Plugin:
LogCoreRedirects: Error: AddRedirect(GenerateNewPlugin) failed to add redirect from None to None with empty name!
LogCoreRedirects: Error: RemoveRedirect(GenerateNewPlugin) failed to remove redirect from None to None with empty name!
I’ve been experimenting with it in 5.3.2, and I found two things while experiencing similar problems.
Said to add “GameFeatures” to the PublicDependencyModuleNames of one of the build files. I put it into my main game build file.
Secondly when I searched under the plugins for my new plugin I saw that it was not enabled. I clicked the box, restarted the editor and the plug-in loaded. At least it says it’s loaded and active. I don’t know if it is, I have trust issues with the editor sometimes.
The official document right here mentioned you have to create GameFeatureDate under your plugin directory and the GameFeatureData needs to have the same name as your plugin. Unfortunately，I missed the last half sentence. And that’s why the red line hints data missing.
As for the installed state crash you mentioned, in fact, it’s not a crash. Installed state means the plugin is on disk not loaded, so it will not be displayed. Then the window closed. You can hover your mouse on these states to learn more.
