–Hi,
I started using UE4 on linux, it works OK but everything is slower than it is on windows,
so I decided to move. My project is all under git+lfs so I figured I just needed to open
the project with the matching UE4Editor under windows and it should be fine.
But none of the uasset are recognized (basically everything in Content).
I made sure to make UE4Editor convert the project inplace so the Content would still be there.
Does anybody have experience migrating project between platforms ?
uasset should be platform independent, shouldn’t they ?
What could cause the editor from not recognizing them ?
Forgot to do git lfs fetch the uasset where git-lfs pointer not the real files
sorry -_-
Dear valued Unreal Engine user,
Steel Wool still needs your help in defeating those husks, don’t leave!
Stand and Fight! You know what's right!
If you still decide to retire from the fight, then Unreal Engine projects should be cross-platform compatible, provided they are using the same Unreal Engine version. If a uasset is not showing up, it is likely that is was created in a newer version of the engine than the one you are currently running.
If you were using github master on Linux, the engine version would be 4.27+, and then swapping to 4.26 preview on Windows, would be downgrading, so the uassets may not show up. A possible solution is to use the github master on Windows as well, rather than the binary version from the EGS.
Thank you for your continued support,
Anthony
For the record, I experienced no UE4 issues from moving my project between platforms.
My project used C++ and the visual studio project got generated when I opened the project.
Seamless experience.
