Hi Everyone,
My Unreal Engine 4.12 project won’t open a level I made in the ThirdPersonExample template. Everytime I try to load the map I get a message saying “Failed to load map! …/…/…/…/…/Users/Gebruiker/Documents/Unreal Projects/EndlessRunneralpha3 4.12/Content/World.umap appears to be an asset file.”
I copied the folder and opened the project from there, I verified the Unreal Engine version, I copied my map in the Contents folder and renamed it to force Unreal to open it, I browsed through all the answers on this forum but nothing helped. Can someone please help me, I’ve worked on this project for many months and would like to get a solution for this.
Greetings,

EDIT: I also tried opening my second level (made from a blank level), but the same problem occurs, Unreal still reports the umap is an asset file and not a level

Hi ,
I don’t know why, but changing the default level in the project settings into my level solved the issue.
