EDIT: I Solved it! :smiley: Just had to add the libbrary path in UE4 Properties.

I got the same problem since I downloaded the souce code and I wondered which LibraryPath did you use?

This issue was completely gone away when i switched to Visual Studio 2013 Professional.

I have visual studio 2013 ultimate on my pc, might it be the problem?

And thanks for the advise i’ll try it out. :slight_smile:

Sadly it didn’t work for me. :frowning: Did you do something else that might help too?
