Why isn't my unreal game opening

After I packaged my project, i tried to open it by double clicking but it didn’t work. I tried windows defender scanning it, didn’t work. I tried running it as administrator, didn’t work. I tried putting it in a steam folder, it didn’t work. The plugins I have installed are advanced sessions and advanced steam sessions. I also added the steam settings on online subsystem steam page to the default engine.ini file. When I packaged the project without those plugins and the settings It was just fine. So can anyone tell me what the problem is, Thanks.

Hi Doggo,

I’d be curious to see if a log file is generated when you try to launch it.

In the packaged project → \YourProject_Game\YourProject\Saved\Logs

Feel free to post the log, my first step will be searching the log for the word “Error”.

Thanks for letting me know about the logs, I managed to figure out that the problem was actually the “Advanced Steam Sessions” plugin(which I wasn’t using anyway) failing to load after looking at the logs. I don’t know why the plugin wasn’t loading, but still Thanks Astrotronic. Also here’s the logs if your wondering.

Glad to hear it!

For anyone searching the internet for this problem in the future the error line is

LogPluginManager: Error: Unable to load plugin 'OnlineSubsystemSteam'. Aborting.
