Try this go to your project folder and then edit .uproject and change the version number to 4.15?
Lastnight i was working on my project, like usual. I saved my progress and assets, a couple seconds after i saved, my computer crashed. Now, i cant open my project. It tells me it cant open because it was saved on a newer version of UE. Problem is, i dont even have 4.16 installed.
Could this be a bug? Please help.
Thanks.
The project is already on 4.15. still wont open.
i will attempt to upgrade to 4.16, then switch back to 4.15.2 and see what happens. hopefully it doesn’t break my project more than it is already.
UPDATE: UE 4.16 is stuck in an infinite DL loop. Uninstalled 4.15 and reinstalled, but no fix. kept getting an error when reinstalling.
so apparently my project is just broken. finally got 4.16 installed and still says it was saved with a newer version… huh???
Looks like all that work was for nothing… crap.
Tried those and still nothing. im at a loss right now. Ive been trying to fix it for literally 12 hours now.
Im getting the same error everytime, even when converting a clone to 4.16. Even though there is no newer version than 4.16. And i get the above error when i uninstall then reinstall either of the builds.
I believe it is a BP only project.
Which contents are you referring too? the logs?
Alright, try this:
- Remove the Intermediate and Saved folder from the project
- Right click on the .uproject and choose Switch Unreal Engine Version to the one you were using
- If that doesn’t work, try to open the engine through the launcher, then try to open your project from there, if it says that it was made with another version, it will ask to clone to project and launch it with that version of the engine, try that.
- Are you using a c++ project? If so try building the project from source, after removing the build and binaries folder.
Is it still giving you the same error? About the project being of a newer version of the engine? Could you show us the content of your .uproject file? Are you using a Blueprint-only project? As a last resort, I would try copy-pasting your content folder to a new project, see if you can recover most of your work.
Are you able to create a new project at all? If so try copying the “Content” folder from your corrupter project to your clean new project and see if it opens.
It seems i can open other projects. I just might have to copy my content and go from there. It still aggravates me how it happened. My project did completely save before it crashed because i was able to close UE then it crashed. Im that kind of person that dwells on that stuff.
