So I have been spending some time making a short game in unreal engine and then decided to package it to send it to some friends to “test” it, but i have been getting errors during the packaging. I have searched this problem on google and forums but nothing helped me solve it. The errors I see pop up on my output log is that the file name is too long, which is wierd, so i renamed the project into something shorter but i still get this error.
Any help would be much appreciated- here is the output log (in zip because it exceeds the 5.2mb limit) link text
This error will occur when the file path has too many characters as well. This issue seems to pop up when you have a lot of folders/assets with really long names like the Infinity Blade assets. There are a few things you can try to get around this issue.
First, try packaging your project to the C: drive so the file path has a much shorter length.
Second, reduce the length of some folders or some assets with abnormally long names in your project. For example in this file path I highlighted very long names that can be shortened:
