Hello everyone,

I’m encountering a packaging issue with UE5.8. Even for a **brand new project** ​ (Blank or Basic template) with no modifications, packaging fails.  
**My questions:**

1. \*\*Has anyone successfully packaged a project with UE5.8?\*\*​ Blueprint or C++.

2. If yes, what is your exact Visual Studio version and installed components?

3. Are there any specific project settings or required steps?

Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

What does Log.txt say?

You can also delete the Myproject/Intermediate folder, along with the .vs folder, the Saved folder, and the .sln file. Then right click your .uproject file and Generate VS project files.

I have a same problem. In my case, the error had something to do with virtual textures. When I removed the “r.Mobile.VirtualTextures=False” line in the DefaulEngine.ini file, everything worked. But because of this, I had to fix several textures in my project to get them to display properly.
