Weird error loading level.

I changed the name and just typed out the new name. The error still shows the old name.

Hello @VKittyCat2022 ,
It’s possible that a reference with the old map name is still somewhere in the project, and that’s why you’re getting this error.

To make sure the old map isn’t being called from another place, press Ctrl + Shift + F and search for the previous map name across the entire project. If you find any references, replace them with the new name. After that, the error should stop appearing.

It can also happen if you moved the 2DSideScrollerExampleMap file to another folder or renamed it. In that case, a node or some configuration may still be pointing to the old path, and Unreal will keep trying to load that “old address,” causing the error.

To fix this, go to the Content Browser, locate the Content folder (or the folder where your maps are stored), right-click it, and select Update Redirector References. This updates internal references and cleans up outdated paths.

I’m also including a link to a post that explains when it’s appropriate to use this option.

Hope it helps!

Thank you for responding.

I didn’t find any references to the old name, I don’t have any other , and I never moved the map. The error doesn’t make any sense and I have no clue what’s happening. Thanks for trying to help, though.

It’s unfortunate that none of that worked :confused:

Even though the error doesn’t seem to cause any real issues, I found this post where they discuss a similar problem. It’s a bit old, but there are several replies that might help you fix it.

The first thing I’d recommend trying is deleting the node and recreating it ,sometimes that actually fixes it

Thanks a lot. I tried several of them, and typing out the full path to the level worked. It’s kinda weird, ‘cause I’ve never heard of that being necessary before, but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
