I´m currently with a problem trying to use Unreal Engine with Visual Studio, focusing on C++ development. It started with an error that wouldn´t allow me to create a project. (I was using Unreal 5.6.1 and Visual Studio 2022, don´t remember the version. In this moment, the version 5.8.1 of Unreal was already installed and already tried to work with this version on Visual Studio 2026 18.9.2 too) Tried a few things after searching some forums, like confirming if all necessary workloads are installed; if the version of both softwares are compatible; if the compiler is associated with the engine, etc. Nothing seemed to work out. So I uninstalled all versions of the engine (5.6.1 and 5.8.1) and both versions of Visual Studio (2022 and 2026 18.9.2). This time, downloaded only VS 2026 (same version) and Unreal 5.8.2, and now I was able to create the project, and man, i was happy… for a brief moment, because in the next video (the “Compiling with Visual Studio” one), another error appeared when I tried to rebuild the solution on VS, and it won´t show the changes expected in the Output Log.. Again, tried some options with what I´ve searched (workloads, rebuilding again, refreshing VS2026 in Unreal), but no luck until now. I really want to continue the course but I´m stuck with all these errors and can´t even pass the first section of the course :/, please help me!
