In the introductory video to installation and setup, creating a new Code Project opens the Editor, from which code can be selected and then edited in Visual Studio. However, when I attempt to create a new Code Project, the Unreal Engine Editor does not open. Instead, it just opens a blank project in Visual Studio. When I attempt to open other projects, the engine gives me the error:
The game module ‘MyProject’ could not be found. Please ensure that this module exists and that it is compiled.
I couldn’t find a working fix for this online, could someone please help me?
Editor is binded to your dll, so you need to compile that empty project (which is not really empty) and it will create empty module dll which is needed to run it
The same thing happened to me, but when compiling gave me this build error…
