"Project file is out to date" warning in every new project

Hi! I am having this warning every time I start a new project.

It started to happen a few days ago… maybe when I installed UE5?

Does anyone knows why and how to do some permanent fix?

Hi Eldany,

I think Megascans ‘Bridge’ is to blame. (Or the engine demanding that Bridge is enabled rather)

I figured this out by opening my .uproject file with a text editor, ‘Updating’ the project file, and saw that Bridge plugin was added.

I see that you’re using 4.27, but using my method above you should be able to see if it’s also Bridge in your case. Let us know!

no. in my case is BlueprintAssist…i think I know what is the problem…let me make another test…

ok…I added this line to the BlueprintAssist.Unplugin manually:

I did that because I want that plugin to be enabled by default in any project and is what causes that update prompt.

I will check my unreal 5 and is very possible that the problem to be Quixel in that case I will confirm you soon…my case was a manually edited unplugin file to try to load the plugin as default…is not the right way?

@Astrotronic I confirm UE5 issue is Bridge:

UE5 bridge has the same line in the uplugin file

	"EnabledByDefault": true,

and is what causes the prompt in the editor too. removing it will avoid the prompt
but also avoids the plugin to default load of course.

any workaround?

I clicked as solved but it was not :frowning:

Thanks for looking into that, I’d like to live in a world where that popup never occurs. For the longest time Oculus VR and Steam VR plugins were enabled by default. (Only mentioned in the .uproject file if you disable them) I imagine Bridge may be on this path to being a ‘default plugin’ at the engine level.

Personally, I’d wait until 5.1 to see if it gets resolved. If it does not, I’d submit a bug report. (With a bug report there is a chance someone will agree that this is a rough edge that needs to be smoothed over and will create a JIRA ticket for assignment to devs)

Cheers!

I also got this message, after something shonky happened with Blueprint Assist.

I tried to install the plugin for 5.5, and that failed. I thought, ok wait…

Later discovered that I had two copies installed for 5.4. Then I started getting the message.

I disabled the plugin, removed both copies, reinstalled it, and re-enabled.

That seems to have done the trick…
