Packaged Game Won't Start

Development Platform & Builds

So I’m at a bit of a loss here. I have packages of a game I’m currently working on, ALL of which WERE working. You opened the folder, clicked the .exe like normal and they would start up with absolutely zero issues.

All of these were built for Windows 64bit, I have a Windows 10 64bit system, and I use an Nvidia GPU. That last part I mention because Nvidia just had a driver update and I thought perhaps it might be related but my roommate had AMD and none of the builds work on his system either.

Today though, suddenly none of the packages work: old ones, the newest builds, or even brand new rebuilt packages. There is no error. Nothing comes up on screen at all, it just doesn’t start. Eventually Windows Explorer just Stops Responding and it closes. If I try to run the .exe as an Admin the whole thing seems to crash even harder, I have to open Task Manager to close it, but there is still no error message.

I really have no idea what is going on. As I stated before ALL of these builds were running as recently as this morning. So I really don’t know what’s going on. Does anyone know what might be causing this or what I can do to fix it? Has anyone else run up against a similar issue?

Hi I don’t know if this will help you or not.As I am fairly new to unreal engine.but i had a similiar problem with on of my packaged games.But what fixed my problem was to go to where you saved your packaged game directory which should inside include 3 files named Engine , Your Project name and then a Exe for your project.open the file containing your project name,then binaries and change the name of that exe to just be your project name.or if already like that run that exe as admin and try your steps. Hope it helped.If not then I am Sorry :smiley:
