Unreal Engine 4 is available for Win10 UWP app dev now

Hello,

Having a lot of struggles getting my game to run on UWP - it keeps crashing on startup (not getting past splash screen). I have tried this both on the Xbox One and Windows 10 and the crashes occurs on both instances. Even when set to “Game” mode (as opposed to App) on the Xbox.

Heres a rundown of some info:

• Version: Unreal Engine 4.19.2 - (Release UWP Branch)
• Compiled in: Visual Studio 2017 (compiling works fine)
• I’ve tried both Packing it as an Appx and also running via Project Manager.
• Tried to change background splash colour as I heard rumours that could cause issues
• Tried using default images and custom images on the Package settings

I do not get any errors when building, I have tried different projects; a blank version, the 2d starter, 3d starter, my WIP Paper2D version - I get the same results on all

I have read the full 47 pages and seen a few posts from ** stating it could be related to the contents files missing as UWP doesn’t have access to them. I’m a little confused over this so if someone could shed some light that would be welcomed.

Any assistance is appreciated - currently ripping my hair out over this.

Have you turned on developer mode for your PC?
Have you disabled authentication for Remote Access on your Xbox?

• Click on Remote Access Settings
• Uncheck “Require authentication …”
