New Level dialog window is missing

https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/QuickStart/3/index.html

When I do step one the New Level dialog window doesn’t show up, and it just adds a NewWorld level file in my Content and the viewport goes black,

you can add the level in another way

  1. Go to File option in the top left corner
  2. Choose new level from drop-down list
  3. level dialoge will open
  4. choose empty level

Im having this same issue.
Is the tutorial out of date?
the other way to open levels the new correct way?

Yeah, by default at least for me on version 4.10.4.

Is the tutorial out of date?

Really the tutorial would be up to date if you just took the part about the dialog box out. By default adding in new level that does an Empty Level for me. It probably varies though. If you don’t get an empty level just do what turtaninja said.

It does say Unreal 4.9 at the top of the page, but can’t imagine Unreal 4.10.4 or any other older version of 4 would be that different.

I had a similar issue when creating a new level I was able to figure out that nothing was showing up because there was no light source to illuminate any geometry in the level
