Hi to all here.
I just did some polishing to my game in Ue 4.27.2 and tried to package it for windows. Now i have an early packaging error that I did not have before.
Only thing I new I changed, is working and packaging with ue 5.6. and installing a new Visual Studio Community Version and updating windows 10 to the latest.

In the log it told me it tried to package with visual stuido 2022, so i manually reinstalled visual studio 2019 for this. The reminders are gone now, but the problem still occurs.

Here is the last part of the log:

Hey there @stucki! It looks like there’s an issue with a module. Specifically here, there’s some code that’s using the incorrect cast type for your version. This one explains itself for the most part. These seem to stem from either a version of Rami’s Victory Plugin that’s a version too far forward for your project.

You might be able to glean more information from the UBT logs here:

SupportiveEntity, thx very much for the hint. As I am a noob in such things, what am i supposed to do now ?
Contact the developer of the plugin ?
And how did that happen ? I am not aware, I installed a newer version of the plugin at all.
And a few weeks before the package ran without a problem…

kind regards-

Ingo

So just to verify, there were no updates to the victory plugin, your project engine version, or your Visual Studio version or modules?

First back up your project, then delete the Saved, DerivedDataCache, Builds and Intermediate folders in your project folder.

Test to see if the error changes.

Another test would be to verify you can build a (fresh) default project, once that works, then see if it can be built with the same version of the Victory plugin.

there has been an update to visdual studio. Unreal engine told me that. So i reinstalled the old version of visualstudio and unreal engine no longer tells me that it wants to compile with an older version.
There also has been an windows 10 update ( the last :wink: )
In my point of view there has been no update of the victory plugin itself.
I already contacted rama the author of the plugin, but no answer yet.

I will try the blank project. thx for the idea !!
kind regards

The blank project with the victory plugin packaged without any problems.

I did try the delete the unnecessary folders a week ago. Didnt change a thing …
So I am really clueless, which is really bad, as my betatesters are waiting to test :wink:

So if any other clue. I would be very thankful
