When I try to open the unreal project (The bull cow game), it comes up with a message that that says the game could not be compiled, please try to build it from the source manually? has anyone got a solution to this?
If you’re using Xcode 12 and/or Big Sur you need to use the latest version of Unreal (4.26). Otherwise could you show the output of your log?
Finder > Cmd + Shift + G > “~/Library/Logs/Unreal Engine”
I can’t remember the rest but it should be pretty easy to find, it would be under the projects name
if this does not work, should I just download the latest version of unreal and the latest version of Xcode?
How am I supposed to read the rest of the log?
should I just download the latest version of the two applications?
I can’t say that’ll fix your problem without seeing the logs. But you could try if you want to.
right ok, so that picture of the log that I sent, so you just want to see that but in full?
Yes, just copy and paste it and put it inside three backticks e.g.
```
in here
```
I’m also facing this problem but on Linux.
- At first it pops out this(says, module is missing):
