UE 5.1 refuses to cook everything and the editor “forgets” the option is set, even though it is saved to DefaultGame.ini.

  1. Open Editor, go to Project Settings | Packaging

  2. Close Editor
  3. DefaultGame.ini has “bCookAll=True” line added
  4. Open Editor again, go to Project Settings | Packaging

As a result it doesn’t package everything and I cannot make it do it, even though the ini was updated.
