This error message indicates that there is an issue with the crypto keys cache when trying to package a game with UnrealPak. Specifically, it seems that the cache directory specified in the command line arguments does not exist.

To resolve this issue, you should try:

  • Double-check that the specified crypto keys cache directory exists and is spelled correctly.
  • If the directory does not exist, create it manually and try again.
  • If the issue persists, try deleting any existing cache directories and creating a new one.
  • Check that you are using the latest version of Unreal Engine and that your project settings are configured correctly for packaging.

I managed to solve this problem with warhulk1745’s solution from here : Specified crypto keys cache does not exist!.
Basically there are parentheses in the username as shown here Specified crypto keys cache ‘C:\Users\BuildMachine(VR2’ does not exist!. So I moved the project files and problem solved

Thank you for responding, it leads me to googling what crypto keys cache is and found the solution
