Unable to load project after latest update due to new plugin which was named the same as our project.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Island Settings

Summary

We updated Fortnite and UEFN this morning (6/13/24) and now we are no longer able to load into our project because a new plugin introduced in this update has the same name as our project. The plugin is “/FortniteGame/Plugins/GameFeatures/DelMar/Levels/Goldrush/Goldrush.uplugin”. Our project has been named Goldrush for several months now. We are ok with renaming our project but we are not able to load into the project in order to do that, and manually renaming the files does not work. We are blocked.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open UEFN
  2. Try to load project named Goldrush
  3. Get error saying “There’s already a registered plugin named Goldrush” and project doesn’t load

Expected Result

We should be able to at least load our project, get the error in editor and then be able to resolve the conflict and save. Then continue developing.

Observed Result

Can’t load our project, so we can’t change the project name to resolve the error. We have not found a workaround.

Additional Notes

This is a major blocker for us. We cannot continue working on this project till this is resolved.

Please excuse the double post, someone else on our team has posted. Refer to The addition of the DelMar Goldrush level plugin has bricked my project
