FYI. Making a post title that actually says something about your problem is much more useful than saying “Please help!!”, if everybody was that lazy then the entire forum would be incomprehensible.
Try selecting all your nodes and pasting it into a text editor and then copy from there into your older ue4.
Failing that, you can always redo your material, it surely can’t have a million nodes on it or anything.
