So I was testing out my character movement over networking but it wasn’t working in 4.9, so I’ve was trying to upgrade the project to 4.10.4 (with a backup copy of the project). The new project didn’t package as a popup window appeared saying that Visual Studio wasn’t installed.
I found this weird as I wasn’t using any C++.
So I tried packaging the Third Person Template in 4.10.4 but again the popup appeared.
So is Visual Studio needed to package games now?
Thanks.
Hello J_Issa1,
Do you have any plugins installed that may need to compile their code when attempting to package? Also, so that I may be able to determine why it is requiring you to have Visual Studio, could you provide the logs from one of your packaging attempts? The easiest way to do this would be to freshly open the editor, run the packaging process, close the editor after it fails, and upload the latest log file from your project’s directory under Saved > Logs.
We haven’t heard from you in a while, J_Issa1. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, could you provide the information from my previous comment so that I may be able to diagnose the issue? In the meantime, I’ll be marking this issue as resolved for tracking pruposes.
I found out some plugins will require Visual Studio to package a game even made in Blueprints only. I’ve tried disabling the plugin and boom. No more Visual Studio Required.
