Been having problems with packaging my project. The “File-Package project” menu does nothing - packaging process ends in a second with a message “Packaging complete”, but destination folder is empty.
Tried with different projects as well as standard templates, tried packing for different platforms, with development and shipping setting - same result for all of them.
There are no errors in log, there are actually absolutely no lines in log at all.
Same problem exists with “Package project - Zip up project” - it doesn’t produce any files.
Update: tried reinstalling UE editor, as well as .NET, vc++ and visual studio - no effect. Then run editor on another PC running windows 7 - everything worked, and I was able to eventually pack my project!
So I have two versions of where problem is:
- UE doesn’t like being installed not on drive C, can’t check as I don’t have 25Gb on my C drive.
- UE doesn’t like windows 10, or at least specific version of windows 10 (I have 1809).
I still have this problem, packaging is complete but the built folder is missing files for the final game, no error message. Any help?
Hi,
It would be helpful to know which UE version you are using, which target your are packaging and how you package it along with the logs.
For example, I packaged a simple test from UE 5.6 using the Editor → Platforms → Windows → Package Project
The logs shows this:

In 5.6, for Windows, the package command doesn’t do much, the executable and the binaries assets are in your staged folder. The archive command does the job of putting the output together in the destination directory. Depending how you package, ensure you specify the archive directory. If you check the logs generated when you package, you should have the command line. For example, mine was:
D:/UE_5.6/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/RunUAT.bat" -ScriptsForProject="D:/Proj/Test56/Test56.uproject" Turnkey -command=VerifySdk -platform=Win64 -UpdateIfNeeded -EditorIO -EditorIOPort=52512 -project="D:/Proj/Test56/Test56.uproject" BuildCookRun -nop4 -utf8output -nocompileeditor -skipbuildeditor -cook -project="D:/Proj/Test56/Test56.uproject" -target=Test56 -unrealexe="D:\UE_5.6\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe" -platform=Win64 -zenstore -stage -archive -package -build -pak -iostore -compressed -prereqs -archivedirectory="D:/Proj/Test56" -clientconfig=Development" -nocompile -nocompileuat ]
Notice the -archive -archivedirectory=“D:/Proj/Test56” arguments.
Otherwise, check the logs, you will probably find something helpful there.
Thanks for the reply my friend.
I am from the “Old Unreal Engine Guard” 
, I work with Unreal since UE3 (UDK Engine). By the way, in UE3 I did not cook the game files, I released as uncooked files (to allow for easier modding). So If there is no need for me to package my game in UE 5.6, ok, just let me know how I can “build” a game folder for my players, so they can play it on Steam.
The whole “history” is that I developed a game in UE 4.27 ( Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque on Steam ), and recently I decided to upgrade it to UE5. It was very tricky for me to upgrade it, as just upgrading the engine version by right-clicking on the uproject file did not work. Since I am using a FPS Framework from the Marketplace (FPS Starter Kit), with the help of the Framework creator, I created a new project FPS Starter Kit from the EPIC Launcher to UE 5.3 version (which is the most stable for my computer), then I simply copied my content folder over the original framework folder and it worked. I had to manually change somethings here and there (fix some blueprint functions, replace some actors which used the APEX destruction.
So I got it working in UE 5.3. But whenever I tested UE 5.6 and read about its new features and optimizations, I decided to upgrade it to 5.6 (I have the 5.3 project backed up and also the 4.27).
The project upgrade worked flawlessly. But whenever I tried to package the project (for Windows 64 and Shipping Build), it fails.
Just now I created a new UE 5.6 project using the FPS Template and it failed (the packaging project). And I also created a new FPS Starter Kit UE 5.6 project (fresh, clean one) and the same error. Below follows the log.
This error happens with any build configuration, and for both Blueprint Projects and C++ Projects. Just to note, I was able to package a C++ Project in UE 5.3 and UE 5.4 without problems. I am not being able to package any UE 5.6 project (UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.)

I have these plugins installed on the engine, but they were not activated on any project, as I said, I tried fresh new projects:
Hi,
I’m not sure what’s going on. From the error, the line 4675 looks like this for me:
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(SC.PackageStoreData.ManifestFullPath))
{
CommandletParams += String.Format(" -PackageStoreManifest={0}",
MakePathSafeToUseWithCommandLine(SC.PackageStoreData.ManifestFullPath));
}
The ‘SC’ variable is not null because it is use above, so PackageStoreData is null. This can be null if ue.projectstore nor packagestore.manifest exists. For my project, I disabled Zen to be closer to your setup and I get this file: D:\Proj\Test56\Saved\Cooked\Windows\Test56\Metadata\packagestore.manifest
I suspect something doesn’t cook correctly but the process exit with code 0. The cook of 1.41s if suspicious. Can you open the cooker logs, the pathname is in your log (ex. E:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.6\Engine\Programs\AutomationTool\Saved\Cook-2025.08.21-12.23.21.txt). You might get the next clue to move forward.
Otherwise, I’m not a specialist for modding or how to distribute game with uncooked content. I don’t know if you can do that in UE 5.6, but if you were able in 4.27 and 5.4, it’s likely still the case in 5.6.
Regards,
Patrick
Sorry my friend. But I am giving up on UE 5.6. The packaging is broken indeed. I made the simplest thing. I reinstalled UE 5.6, then I created a new FPS Template Project (Blueprints), fresh, opened it, and just clicked on Package Game (No other changes). It is not packaging at all.
So it is broken. I have all the Visual Studio 2022 API’s installed, and I could rebuild other projects successfully on VS (C++ Projects), but inside UE 5.6, the packaging project function is not working at all!

Internally, we can package, so this is something in the installation or the machine. When I was scanning the cases, I found this other thread that is interesting
This user had a cooking issue too… and it was some DLL… which I’m not familiar with, but your cooking is abnormally too short. So something happens there.

Hello my friend. Thanks for taking your time to help me. Yes, I live in Brazil and I do have these Dlls for internet banking. But I can not unninstall this.
I just tried now with UE 5.3, a blank new project (using the FPS Starter Kit), and it built perfectly without any errors.
Could you kindly report this bug to the development team to do a workaround / fix / patch? There are thousands of Unreal Developers here in Brazil, and we must have a better solution than just remove internet banking from our PC’s.
I had the exact same problem pointed on that thread, too short cooking times. But again, I don’t think that just removing Internet Banking from my PC will be the best solution. Anyway, I will stick with UE 5.3, until 5.7 gets released officially, because that guy from the thread (my brazilian mate), confirmed it works fine in 5.7.
Thanks for your time!
@NIDAL_NIJM_GAMES do one test to see if you indeed have the same problem as me on my thread.
Run UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe without any args for 5.6 and 5.4
If it’s the same issue as mine
E:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.4\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe should open Unreal Editor
E:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.6\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-Cmd.exe should open a crash log.
@Patrick_Laflamme no cooking logs are generated (I forgot to mention that on my thread). About the DLL, it’s a security module some brazilian banks force you to install to be able to use internet banking.
Hello @Pinds Yes, there were no cooking logs generated for me either. But I already unninstalled UE 5.6. I will stick with 5.3 and 5.4 (for some freelance projects I am working on and wait for 5.7).
As for my own game, I came back to the 5.3 version and will stick with it. I only updated from 4.27 to 5.3 because it will make my work easier to add new features on the future, like Online Multiplayer, and because 4.27 is already very old and outdated now.
