I hope I am posting this into the section. I built the engine from the source code because I wanted to use the Hairworks branch version 4.16.3. I bought a plugin called LookAlive, but I am having trouble getting it to work. I installed it for the engine 4.16 and 4.17. I copied the plugins folder for LookAlive and pasted it into the Hairworks branch. After I enabled the plugin, I restarted and it won’t let me open the project up again. I tried both the plugin for 4.16 and 4.17 into the hairworks branch of UE 4.16.3. Both didn’t work. I tried to rebuild the project but it ended up failing.

It works in the engine I downloaded through Epic Games Launcher, but won’t work for the Hairworks build of UE. Is there something I can do to get a plugin to work? As it stands right now, I can’t even open up my project because the plugin is incompatible even though it is the same engine version (the only difference is the engine was built from Visual Studio).
