Hi Guys,
Looking through the forums, this is the only thread I have found so far so my apologies if this has been addressed somewhere else already.
I am experiencing similar issues:
-creating a Blueprint project works fine, but adding C++ code to the project causes it to freeze.
-creating a blank C++ project, it will freeze at 80% or at 0% and there is little in the folders to use (no generateprojectfiles.bat) so I cannot use that solution. I do not see an ‘Unrealbuildtool.bat’ running in taskmanager either.
-‘\Cmake\bin was unexpected at this time’) when trying to build from the git source with generateprojectfiles.bat (setup.bat seems to work fine)
About my machine:
i7 intel, 32Gb Ram, NVidia K2100
I am running Windows 8.1, MS Visual Studio 2013 Desktop Express, Windows 8.1 SDK,
Things I have tried:
-I installed all the windows 8.1 updates
-I have stopped avast antivirus, windows firewall, windows defender, and created exclusions for Unreal and VS while avast runs
-I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the launcher and unreal from a newly downloaded launcher, , as well as a new install of VS Desktop Express 2013 with Windows 8.1 SDK
-I then tried to build C++ projects under different conditions but they all freeze at 0% or 80% with 4.7.6 and 4.8 preview.
I hope we can get some updates on this soon…
