New plugin from latest update named same as our project. Can't load project anymore.

Hello! Sorry for bumping this but this is an on going issue that has effectively killed our project and months of work. We’d really appreciate any ideas anyone might have on workarounds for this.

Essentially is there a way to rename your project WITHOUT using the editor? We’ve tried several things but nothing has worked so far.

We’ve submitted a bug report but have not heard back on that yet. This seems like a major oversight and could put other projects in jeopardy of getting locked out. Once a plugin is in place you are not allowed to create a new project with that name, which is good to have that warning. But in our case our project has existed for several months under this name before this plugin was released by Epic and it seems there’s no checks on Epic’s side to make sure names they plan to use aren’t already being used by other projects. So this could happen again.

We should be allowed to still open our project in editor, but with all the warnings about a conflict. That way we are able to resolve those conflicts, not just be locked out completely from our work.

Thanks in advance for any advise!
