Hi all, I’ve successfully followed the instructions for installing and building UE4 on Linux (https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Linux/BeginnerLinuxDeveloper/SettingUpAnUnrealWorkflow/4/index.html), but I’ve encountered an odd blocker after everything was supposedly done.
First things first, I’ve succeeded in everything up to the MAKE part.
Where I’m seeing this issue is when running the UE4Editor. Everything seems fine until about the 91% mark of the loading screen, but then a window pops up saying “Unable to write to Settings Directory (/home/USER/.config/Epic/Unreal.uproject)”. I’ve checked the directory, and currently the only thing in there is a folder called “GDBPrinters”.
- I can ignore these messages (they pop up three times in succession) and just allow the UE4Editor to launch
- With this, I can create new Blueprint projects
- However, when I try to create a C++ project, I find that it gets stuck at the “creating project file” step
My initial guess was that this may have had something to do with the permissions, but that doesn’t seem to be an issue either. If anyone has hints for this, please let me know!
