So I just updated from 4.19.2 or something to the latest UE4 version, and when I now create a new C++ Project with “Blank Code” and add a New Class (Like an Actor) to it, Visual Studio pops out a big bunch of errors, for example:
E1696 The File “source” can not be opened: “ActorComponent.generated.h”. TUTORIAL c:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.20\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Classes\Components\ActorComponent.h 17
It is a clean new project, so probably some SDK is outdated, idk. Help pls!
Yea it’s the same for me.
Btw, it’s alright for you to use 4.19 and switch to 4.20 whenever this intellisense error is fixed
Just right click .uproject file and switch engine version when you need to.
I just switched to 4.19 where I had no issues and now after adding a c++ class, IntelliSense is outputting the same bulls**t as in 4.20, it looks exactly the same as in the Dyshaxo’s screen shot above.
Here is also the output when I press rebuild in VS, clean project with 1 additional c++ class:
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: UE4, Configuration: BuiltWithUnrealBuildTool Win32 ------

Do you have any idea why is it like that? Thank you for your time!
Well the error says Unable to clean target while hot-reloading. Close the editor and try again.
For the rest, no Idea, since the information you give me are not enough^^
Indeed, closing editor allowed VS to execute the clean up properly, but I just considered it irrelevant. I’m not sure if there are less errors after rebuilding the project. I tried to regenerate project files as well, no difference. What left is this small syntax error about missing ‘)’ in my code, here is a screen shot:
When I click the error, it takes me to Atomic.h (which is not my project’s file) and oh my, IntelliSense displays 5431 errors there. Here is a screen shot:
I will try to turn off IntelliSense and do my small project for now. I don’t have much time to fix VS problems when these are not blocking my progress.
Thank you for your help! Maybe in a month I will have to try to fix it, maybe an update will fix it for me, who knows. If you have any more thoughts, let me know!
