I’ve double checked everything with the resource files Ben listed, but when I play the game in the editor, I’m not getting anything in the output log from the UE_Log code. There just isn’t anything showing up. The game compiles without any error or warning, and it plays, and I can move the camera around in the game, but, no log message. I’m copying my code here.
