I was running low on disk space on my C: drive so I moved the LyraStarterGame project I created from the Epic Games Launch to my D: drive. Then when I open the project I get this crash below. I already tried to delete all build/intermediate files, didn’t help. Any ideas how to resolve without recreating the project?

I might have figured out what’s going on here. I think it’s not related to moving the folder, but actually due to me migrating the project to Git LFS. The file it’s trying to read (DefaultGameData.uasset) doesn’t have its contents. It’s this issue here. I’ll try the solution there and report back.

That fixed it. Per the link above, I had to run git lfs checkout.
