Hey Guys,
I am trying to upgrade my project from 5.3.2 to 5.4.1 but I am getting an error from engine source files when trying to compile C++ code.
This is the error message I am getting:
UE_5.4\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\String\FormatStringSan.h(99): error C2338: static_assert failed: ‘’%s’ expects TCHAR*; use ‘%hs’ for const char*.’
I hope somebody could help me.
Kind regards
Maurice
Show the whole log, this error is probably caused by something in your code.
you probably need to deference a pointer or something, but no one can help you but yourself with the info you shared
Ah of course. I already looked through it but could not find any other Problem with my limited experience.
Thank you for your reply

What do you have here?
C:\Users\username\Desktop\repos\project\Plugins\UltraleapTracking\Source\UltraleapTrackingCore\Private\LeapWrapper.cpp(436)
In line 436
I often encounter a similar error when using UE_LOG and mistakenly omitting the asterisk (*) before an FString. For instance, I’ve run into issues like so:
FString Text = TEXT("Hello");
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("%s"), Text);
This results in an error because UE_LOG expects a const TCHAR* type for string formatting, but Text is an FString. The correct way to pass FString to UE_LOG is by using the * operator to convert FString to const TCHAR*, like so:
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("%s"), *Text);
Adding the asterisk before Text correctly formats the string and may be a solution similar to the one you are looking for.
Thanks a lot. That helped. I just had to switch the UE_LOG(“%s”) to UE_LOG(“%hs”) at two points in the LeapWrapper and know I get other errors but I can look into those myself.
Thanks for the Hint i just need to carefully read the log next time
Thank you. This was the solution for me.
