I cant load my project anymore I get the error:

UE4Editor.exe- System Error
The Program cant start because SSLEAY32.dll is missing from your computer

but it only happens with this project. I cant create and run new projects just fine even older projects. Why is this happening?

Hey -

If you right click on the .uproject file in the project folder and select “Generate Visual Studios prjoect files” this should create a visual studios .sln file that you can then run. In Visual Studio right click the name of the project and choose build, then try opening the project again.

Cheers

Solved,

My project was being sourced from a subversion and someone updated the source without my knowledge and I must have unwittingly updated my project. The plugin that they had added to the project [ RDCplugin ] did not carry with it all of its dependent dll files and caused this error.

If something like this happens to you and you are using plugins, try debugging it in VS and look for errors. If the errors revolve around a common plugin then delete all references of that plugin from the project files. Then try and rebuild the project. If it works then there is an error with your implementation or transport of that plugins files.
