I have been trying to updated to 4.4 for my project . It works OK for my colleague , but when I try to update the project I get the following error message (below) . I have tried engine versions 4.4 , 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 and keep getting the same result . It is a difficult issue to fix because I do not program and it works fine on my colleagues so it is difficult to find out what the issue is .
Any help would be useful here . Thanks
The project failed to compile with this version of the engine. Build output is as follows:

Hi , does this produce any crash logs when it occurs? If so can you upload them here? Additionally, what steps are you following to convert the project? Are you on source or launcher?
I have tried with the engine launcher and with out and got similar results .
**Via source
**
Copied Project files into new directory.
Switched Engine version and generated project files.
Tired to open and got this message “project modules are missing or out of date. Would you like to recompile them?”
Chose yes.
Got this message “Game code couldn’t be compiled . Continue trying to start anyway?”
Chose yes.
Got this message “The game module ‘QUBE’ does not appear to be up to date . This ,may happen after updating the engine . Please re compile this module and try again .”
I tired recompiling with Visual by following the steps from this post .
I got to step 8 then when I try to build the solution I got these three error messages .
Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘SQUBEPauseMenu.h’: No such file or directory C:\Users\Documents\Unreal Projects\QUBE_Rocket_Development 4.4\Source\QUBE\Private\Engine\QUBEHUD.cpp 7 1 QUBE

If I try to open the project in editor I will get the same error messages.
Does anyone know if these are the correct steps to follow or is it different for 4.4?
I updated the engine to 4.4.3 . I then created a project in 4.2.1 using the FPS code template . I then converted it to run on 4.4.3 and it works fine .
I then tried it with our own project to see if updating to 4.4.3 makes a difference , but I got the same error message as before .
It’s possible that there could be a level that has been corrupted in some way. In the folder where your project is located, go into the Content folder and pull out the entire Maps folder (you can move it to the desktop during this process so you don’t lose them). Then try updating the project again.
I tired deleting the Maps folder before converting the project and received the same error . I then tried deleting the content folder as well and still got the same error .
When you built the engine from source did you configure the directory as an Unreal Engine installation? To do this you can go into the folder where the source code is and then go into Engine->Binaries->Win64 and scroll to the bottom of the folder to “UnrealVersionSelector.” Here is a link that walks through the entire process of getting source code from Github with the necessary steps near the bottom of the page.
Once it has been done the other thing to check would be to right click the .uproject file for the project and select the “Switch Unreal Engine version” and choose the engine version you’d like to work in.
I think there has been a bit of confusion . I have only ever installed UE4 via the Unreal Engine Launcher . It was my mistake when I said that I tried via source in a previous post .
I have looked for the “UnrealVersionSelector” , but can not find it . Does it show if you install via the Unreal Engine Launcher ? And should I be looking in the 4.2. or 4.4 folder?
In that case you don’t need to worry about the UnrealVersionSelector, that is a file that exists if you build the engine from source. You say that your colleague was able to convert the project without this problem. The simplest solution may be to completely delete the project from your computer and get a copy of the 4.4 version on their computer. That being said it may be worth getting a copy of your colleague’s 4.2 version of the project and then convert that on your machine just as a test of the project version you have.
All of the project files are saved on the SVN and I have tried creating a new project using files from the SVN with no success . This is the method we have used before when updating the engine and it usually works .
Can you think of any other reasons that it may not be working?
