Hello,
I have a problem with my application. I am able to build/compile and rebuild the entire project. I am also able to launch the game outside of unreal with no issues. But when I click to launch it within the Unreal engine I get multiple issues when it’s building the executable. I appear to have multiple LNK errors, specifically it’s LNK 2001 and LNK2019. To try and fix it I have rebuilt it, merged it with an older working version (caused it to not work again), ran debugger to find missing dll files which there were a couple that got fixed. Thank you for any help or insight! The log is below -
