Packaging a game with an SWindow Slate Widget

Development Programming & Scripting UI

Hello,

I need to package a game with an SWindow slate widget in it. The game contains nothing but one single SWindow. It works perfectly in the editor, but displays a blank screen on packaging.

In the editor, the new SWindow turns up perfectly and I can add functionality to it, as I wish. In the packaged version, I see 2 windows on my taskbar, but my screen is blank.

Could someone please help me out with this?

Thanks!

Hello Rudy,

Appreciate the help. To answer your questions:

  1. Yes, I can.
  2. I simply opened a project, added and empty SWindow widget, and built. I ran it in the editor, it works perfectly well. I then packaged it and get a black screen.
  3. I have uploaded my project here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34857576/UE4_Slate_Error/HelloSlate.zip The build is in a folder inside named “Dropbox-build”. It simply contains an empty project with the code for one SWindow widget.

Thanks!
