I built a small map in Unreal 4.4 using only the starter pack assets. I built geometry and lighting. Cooked the map. And then packaged it for Windows 64 bit. When I double click on the .exe file, I get the following error message:
"Plugin ‘Substance’ failed to load because module ‘SubstanceCore’ could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed, otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project’.
I’m not using the Substance plugin to my knowledge for this project, but I reinstalled the plugin package, but I still get the error message.
Thank you for your report. We were not able to investigate this on the engine version you reported, but there have been many version changes to UE4 since this question was first posted. With a new version of the Engine comes new fixes and it is possible that this issue has changed or may no longer occur. Due to timetable of when this issue was first posted, we are marking this post as resolved for tracking purposes. If you are still experiencing the issue you reported in the current engine version, then please respond to this message with additional information and we will investigate as soon as possible. If you are experiencing a similar, but different issue at this time, could you please submit a new report for it.
Make sure that the Substance plugin is not listed in your projects plugins. If you’re still having trouble, please submit your own AnswerHub as this one is quite old and may or may not have changed. Provide too.
Hello, I have had this same problem in a very simple project where I have used the Substance plugin in Unreal 5.4.4, when packaging it and open throws that error. This page is the only resource I have found related to this error.
Removing the Substance plugin from this engine version, along with the materials used in the project, the packaging has worked perfectly, clearly something is not working with this plugin.
I had previously also had another problem with ‘AutomationTool’ when packaging, after searching, I have solved it and then I find myself with this Substance problem. The truth is that this is frustrating.
I also want to indicate that this simple packaging with Substance weighs almost 500MB, and by removing it from the engine, the new packaging that does work, has weighed half, when I was only using 3 Substance materials; it’s nonsensical.
