Finally kill lnk2019!
Add this to your XXX.Build.cs

PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "RHI", "RenderCore", "ShaderCore", "UMG" });

Old thread but the same issue. I’ve added “UMG” to my .build and I’m still getting the same error log.
