I have just installed UE 5.7 created a project and opened it up in Visual Studio 2022.

The issue is, opening up the project just opens a but load of errors. I created the project using EU’s First Person template just to mess about.

Is there any fix for this?

Did you right click on your .uproject and generate your project files? If so, did you restart visual studio afterwards?

Hello, ive seen people on other parts tell me to do this but upon right clicking my uproject file I do not have the option to generate project files.

Well that’s not looking too good… I hesitate to ask such a basic question but did your Unreal Engine installation process complete successfully?

I would like to think so yes, no errors occurred during its installation annd the editor for it works fine.

Understood. Then I don’t know what’s wrong with your install, but I would focus on restoring the ability to generate the project files as the absolute priority to see if it solves your issue.

I believe right click actions originate from Windows’s registry, so you should do some research on how to perhaps fix your registry so that it contains the corresponding right click action.

Honestly at this point, I would prioritize reinstalling the engine just in case.
