Hi, I’m having a problem creating a default Third Person project right out of the launcher. I want to build with visual studio 2022, but the builder keeps forcing itself to use visual studio 2019 for some reason. I uninstalled visual studio 2019, but the issue persists.
I don’t have any plugins or anything, it should be a clean build - I can’t figure out why it won’t use visual studio 2022. Here is my log file:
