Can't generate VS project for Shooter Game 4.1

I had the same problem and was compelled to recompile shootergame after downloading it (note for Epic mainly, corroborating your experience)

Hi guys,

I can’t run the Shooter Game 4.1 in the Unreal Editor (v4.1).

It says UE4Editor-ShooterGameLoadingScreen.dll is out of date and must be rebuilt. When I fire “Generate Visual Studio Files” command on ShooterGame.uproject, the Unreal Engine Launcher (which the command involves) crashes after a short start.

My Unreal Engine is built from the sources from the master branch. The Crash Reporter has no function call stack.

Update. It seems the launcher crashes since it’s not aware where the engine resides, because after downloading the engine from the launcher it began to generate VS files. Is it possible to use the already built from sources engine without downloading extra ~2GB for this little operation?

You can run the batch file manually.

Thanks, man! It worked. I also mentioned that you must specify the absolute path to the .uproject file, otherwise UnrealBuildTool behaves crazy.

Actually, the Windows command line is an absolute nightmare.
