#1 Rule, make a copy of your project and only convert the copy.
DONT convert in place.
Steps I took to get everything working properly and loading projects is below. please read ALL if you wish to use 4.25 for testing. these steps will help remove 90% of the frustration so DO them, and if you have any other issues look in your crash log AFTER it loads error text in the window.
TO ANYONE DOING VR If you have a stereo layer in your vr pawn REMOVE IT prior to 4.25.0 this component seems to have been changed and will crash your project upon building.
Also to anyone having a crash from conversion IF you have key bindings that are NOT in your project settings>input I suggest making these into inputs before conversion as this too WILL crash your project because they were removed and will result in unknown class and crashing.
ALSO anyone that is using c++ make sure you convert your uPROPERTYs to the new Fproperty or it will crash on compile.
AND DON’T I REPEAT DON’T USE CLEAN SOLUTION>REBUILD… ONLY USE BUILD…
ALSO Make sure that you fix up any REDIRECTORS BEFORE CONVERSION If you have NOT it will CRASH fixing these issues I can confirm my projects are loading and compiling perfect.
IF chaos was not working for you, redownload source, recompile, make sure you setup your SETTINGS TO ENABLE CHAOS IN YOUR INI FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN A PROJECT…
Side note about stereo layers, they have changed a bit so they are not going to convert. delete them and re add them once converted.
NEW ISSUE: Don’t turn on the Voice chat plugin, it is missing and wont allow you to open your project.
Hope This Helps
