Unreal 5.1 Live Coding Button Missing?

Just upgraded to 5.1 and my little Live Coding Button is missing in the bottom right. I can still trigger a live coding build with CTRL+ALT+F11, but I still like to have the button. Any ideas why it’s missing for me? Tried resetting my window layout to default.

I’ve the same problem but with Version 5.2.
The button was there, and then after some time it disappeared. Don’t know when or why.
When I create a new c++ project, however, it is there, again. But not on the original project.

I have been using this button in version 5.1 for the last few months but suddenly it’s gone.

I am using 5.3 and I have the same problem. Did you find the reason?

Adding a new PLUGIN with C++ class, brought back the Live Coding Option.

Hi there!

Problem of no compile button in status bar (bottom right corner) is appear when class of game module is inherited from IModuleInterface.

To resolve it you need one of two cases.

  1. Override the InGame Module() function with return value ‘true’

  2. Inherit the class of game module from FDefaultGameModuleImpl
