I just made the switch to UE4 and I’m already having trouble. Whenever I try to create a project with a template other than blank, the unreal editor won’t show up. Just visual studio opens. And when I try to open one of the project created from the non-blank templates, I get an error saying the game module can’t be found.

I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t find a tutorial that covers starting a project using a template. I’d really appreciate some help.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but it might have what you need. Give it a look

Thanks a lot, I think that’ll do it.
