I’ve been suffering with the same issue now for about a year. > [@1 line code change == 602 file rebuild](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/1-line-code-change-602-file-rebuild/262551/16): > > had you built the server configuration since you blew away the intermediate? What’s the build log look like up until Building 788 actions? It appears to happen randomly for me. A full rebuild of the UE project fixed the issue for a few weeks, until yesterday, I needed to do a full rebuild of the package due to the process not starting error. just a couple days prior to that, I had to delete the intermediate folder to clean for another compiler issue, which did trigger a full rebuild (approx 788 files) for that configuration. The very next build, after resetting to only incremental build, it triggered again, with no code changes since the day before. I only packaged. EDIT: To be clear, I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding of the issue at hand, the question is, how can this be detected, preferably prior to a build and is there any possible way to avoid that situation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/rebuild-entire-engine-after-packaging/382265)._
