Was just developing on unreal, i saved everything, and when i came back, it keeps saying “Failed to load outer for resource.” I have seen other answers, but need clarification. Delete the “Binaries win 64” in the project folder? What? Migrate to a new project? How? Please help

Hi Rudy,

Heres a few answers to your questions.

1:i have no idea how to reproduce this, as i have no idea what caused it

2:nope

3: no i can not, as the blueprints do “not exist” in the unreal content. When i try to import the files into unreal, unreal crashes.

4: i can try to, however it will be awhile

Hello Bubbalooch,

I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  2. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  3. Could you provide screen shots of any blueprints/settings that may be involved with this issue?
  4. Could you provide your complete log file?

If you would like to delete you binaries, saved, and/or intermediate folder(s) you can by default, find them at the following file path: C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\Unreal Projects\YourProjectName

Hi Rudy,
So I came back and re-encountered this error a couple days ago and I still have no idea how to fix it. I did go in and delete the unreal 4.12 folder as well as the Common directory, but even that did not fix it. I did update to 4.19 and have not had a chance to test it, but in case that does not fix it, do you have any suggestions? The one file I have has all my work on it and I’d hate to lose everything.
