try verifying the unreal engine files from the epic launcher.

is this a C++ project or blueprint?

Hey thanks for the reply!

It occurs on both BP and C++ projects. They can be just blank templates. I have tried verifying and reinstalling 5.1.

Packaging works fine on 5.0.3. ’

My first thought was that it was somehow a bug related to my hardware configuration.

Edit: in case its relevant, I’m on Windows 11, also the issue appears to be shader related based on the logs

Found a fix. After reading through a different log file. This resolved the issue:

Failed to compile global shader FVolumetricFogLightScatteringCS . Enable ‘r.ShaderDevelopmentMode’ in ConsoleVariables.ini for retries.

Path to this file:
“C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini”
