Recent Projects in UE Project Browser empty

wirago86 · June 28, 2021, 3:09pm

When launching the Editor I dont get any projects listed in the “Recent Projects” tab:

Interetingly if I clickon the “Browse” button, it opens the correct path of the last project, so it kind of knows where to look for UE5 projects.

Version: 5.0.0-16682836+++UE5+Release-5.0-EarlyAccess

Found Another Fix !!

C:\Users(user)\AppData\Local\UnrealEngine\5.1\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor
edit EditorSettings.ini
Look for ‘CreatedProjectPaths=’
Update the path to your new location.
It should now show all your projects in the recent project tab when you relaunch the editor.

I was able to find a fix that worked for me:

Create a temporary blank project in the same folder where your UE5 Projects are present.
Open up the project.
Close UE5 and Delete the temporary Blank project.
Re-open UE5 and everything works.

Hope this helps
