Hey! I’m trying to package a game for Windows. When I attempt to do so, I get this error:
After doing some research, I’ve heard that disabling pak encryption and source control are potential fixes, but I have neither of these enabled. The game packaged just fine about a month ago, does anyone know what could be causing this?
Here’s the full log:
