ICU data directory was not discovered Packaging Error

Hi so I packaged my game for windows 64 bit and whenever I try opening the executable file it gives me this error. I have already tried packaging the game with a full rebuild and nothing has worked. I packaged it for shipping.

I have the same issue on 4.20.1

We’re also encountering this problem on 4.20.3, but only on a packaged game created with a source built version of the engine. A packaged game created with the launcher version works fine.

I am having same issue, how to fix this?please someone answers

I have this error as well.

  • Unreal Engine 4.21.1
  • Package MacNoEditor, Shipping, Cook By The Book
  • Run build and it crashes immediately.

For me it only occurs when I package on the Mac. My Windows 64 build is fine.

I also have this issue after attempting to rename my project (the [URL] GameName= was not in the gameengine file so i added it)

Did anybody figure this out?

Same issue here on a game i published over two months ago, suddenly this error has popped up. i tried to fully rebuild without any luck.

One possible solution is to run the setup.bat file, this will download the binary dependencies, which includes the ICU data and more. If it is only on mac, make sure you are not using any parameter switches on the the setup.bat that tell it to not download the mac binaries.
