Hi, I have this specific issue with transferring a complete character from my laptop which has Unreal Engine 5.4 to my desktop P.C that has UE5.6. I tried copying the exact files for my character, putting them on a jump drive and then inserting them into the project I wanted them on but that didn’t work. Is there any way I can transfer these files without taking the entire project and sending it to my desktop so I can migrate between projects?
Hi Mariomino, Welcome to the Forums.
It may be helpful to expand on exactly what didn’t work. (You were not able to see the assets after transfering? The asset references were broken in some way?)
Going from 5.4 to 5.6 is fine, but if you were going the opposite way you would not see the assets.
You could create a new 5.4 project, use the ‘Migrate’ function on your character (Right-click → Asset Actions → Migrate) This should detect and copy/move all references.
Then with your new/lightweight 5.4 project: File → Zip Project.
Then open the 5.4 project with 5.6 on your PC. Verify that character is intact/working - Then Migrate from the lightweight project into your 5.6 PC project.
Let us know if you run into any troubles.
