Rebuild from Github Source UE5?

I tried rebuilding from UE5 source, these 2:

  1. UE5 Early Access.
  2. UE5 - Main

With both sources i end up with UE4, how is this possible?
NOTE: I would like to get a UE5 Github build to create a Dedicated server for my UE5 Project, but since both these UE5 sources give me UE4, what to do?

Use the drop down to switch to branch 5.0

Then click the download zip.

Follow the instructions

Weird, these instructions dont even mention UE5, and they mention VS17, seems to be old, once again ending up with UE4 while doing what UE documentation says (Screenshot for reference)

Download vs2022

Okay ill try, but why? as the UE5 Main Documentation says this:
Install Visual Studio 2019 . All desktop editions of Visual Studio 2019 can build UE5, including [Visual Studio Community 2019]

lol whut?
btw i appreciate your help, im just a little confused by this

Btw the setup obv gives you the UE4 file (before entering VSCode) how would VSCode even make a difference?

“Download ZIP” would be from clicking on the green “Code” button after picking the 5.0 branch, not releases. The sln should say UE5 if you have the correct one.

Alright thanks!, i cloned the rep instead of downloading zip, maybe thats the prob

Hi @DeadEagleNL
I documented this in
Visual Studio 2022 Preview is 64 bit and compiles and runs UE 5.0 EA approximately 20% FASTER - Development Discussion / Unreal Engine 5 Early Access - Unreal Engine Forums

The better version to load is the latest
Visual Studio 2022 RC 2 builds and runs UE5.0 - Development Discussion / Unreal Engine 5 Early Access - Unreal Engine Forums
