UE5 Car Demo - 'Couldn't spawn player: Failed to spawn player controller'

Im getting this error immediately after creating a new project from the driving game demo - I’ve looked at the gamemode and playercontroller in vs and it looks fine to me?

Anyone else have this issue?

Is it just a rebuild from source moment?

Hi, I had similar issue when trying C++ project. Just fired the vehicle game as a blueprint project and it’s working great.

I had the same issue and checked the world settings for the gamemode in use, and it worked. (c++ project also)

Had the same issue, the template generation works fine on 5.4 but on 5.32 it seems to select the c++ gamemode class instead of the derived blueprint. to fix change the gamemode to the gamemode blueprint.
