How to Setup Visual Studio 2022 for Unreal Engine

Ғылым және технология

In this video, we go over how to set up Visual Studio with Unreal Engine. The steps in this video can be applied to any version of Visual Studio as well as any version of Unreal Engine, whether it's a launcher build or a source build. In addition to installing Visual Studio, we cover IDE settings that are recommended by the official Unreal Engine documentation. Lastly, we talk about switching between different Visual Studio installations for your engine to use and checking compatibility between your Visual Studio and Unreal Engine versions.

    If you are using a version of Visual Studio that isn't compatible with your version of Unreal Engine, you're going to have to modify a source build version of Unreal Engine's code for your engine to recognize your version of Visual Studio. You can take a look at these various commits that we're made to the engine repository that had to do with removing and adding support for old and new Visual Studio versions for some guidance on how to proceed. Note that you need to connect your Github account to an Epic Games account to view these links. This is covered in the "build from source" video linked in the description. github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/0ca9462506a4729d1e404f8b57cb28ce89abec60 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/4d5ce57fe1e4ef7a27d9dfe413fa9f5389e69e0d github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/0d9bf2e817e01f4003e4f774f8226217cc010586 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/cbc0425034593e206064fc79233e4532965e16c0 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/001f7ca753b11fe7557643618e9d7e3199dab460 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/da37d06a2b1806552c1ddf7f67f5be4de88f5c0a github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/83504f648730140141c758f31ba39417ad65cdbc github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/fb4a3fe042757bff42fd7665f7552bbe9c788064 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/1a3427d98d1f5bf5dc396260768a5f6b7bd0db70 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/2103d6e1a6de39edd0b775ad0ae551a4cc2a7a42 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/58e8c9ce110c7dd6980a5a6e5b9e21652fbf2275 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/5511353dde0153962f0aaf629bf46b72ab405351 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/4999e7e973908dbf733dde1b006fcba262646b09 github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/e8588b6ea9999b3cf7738ecd4fc8946404fa44ff github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/a1cd250af09ce9b75a48ad4b2a2cb4dfb011278b github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/c8b1acb7eff7f8def0beb0bbd2d42ece3837af1a github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/1016d5dbdf84d8cfe0a21f2817f87a885ef91bd7

    Hello, I can't express how grateful I am to your video!!! I just began learning Unreal Engine 5 with C++, following an online course that was released in 2019... However, I wasn't able to even create a new C++ project in Unreal, because the system kept giving me an error message about the Editor. After looking it up in Epic game forum, I noticed the issue has something to do with Visual Studio's installation configuration. I tried every recommendation, and nothing worked. To someone like me who isn't a "computer person", this meant the end of my learning... 24 hours later, I magically came across your video, and tried your steps...and it finally worked!!! 😃

    I just followed your instruction with launcher version of UE 5 preview 2 and it worked with one exception. In your video at 2:43 you indicate that the .Net Core 3.1 Runtime was only needed for the build from source for UE5. I did not select as I was going to use the launcher version. When trying to create the test C++ project an error gets thrown in UE indicating that the .Net Core 3.1 was not found. So I returned into VS and added the runtime component and then tried again to create the UE c++ test project and all worked. I would suggest to make the changes to the VS environment prior to doing the project build, especially the Hot Reload part, as I think without that the VS build fails if the UE editor is open, but after applying those changes then no problems. Thanks for such a clear and deliberate setup process.

  • @Flopperam

    @Flopperam

    Жыл бұрын

    We don't but we should make a video on that. Typically the process to update the source version in git is to do a `git fetch` if you want to checkout a new branch that exists on remote but not your local or a `git pull origin ` if you want to update your current branch. If you made changes to your current branch of the engine source code then you may have to do `git add .` and `git commit` to keep them before the pull (altho this is even highly debated, stackoverflow.com/questions/18529206/when-do-i-need-to-do-git-pull-before-or-after-git-add-git-commit) or `git reset --hard HEAD` if you don't care about keeping old changes and just want the new changes. If you get a merge conflict while pulling then you'll have to go into the conflicted files and fix the conflicts. Hope that helps, lmk if you have any other questions.

For those who would like to use ctrl+shift+b, projects can be excluded from solution build in Visual Studio "Build > Configuration Manager".

    Not finding this to work when downloading UE 5.0 from source (using your other video) and then tying to use that with VS 2022 (using this video). When you try to create a new black project (like the quickstart demo) it will launch VS 2022 as expected, but it does NOT launch UE editor. So, you can't really proceed. If you launch the editor by hand, you don't get the "File -> New Project -> New C++ Class" option. Have you tried this? Any solution?

    @@Flopperam In 4.27 I can launch the editor, New Project / Games, Blank, C++ / With Starter Content, Name / Create. At that point VS loads with the Solution loaded and UE loads with the Project loaded. I can use UE / File / New C++ Class and it works as expected. In 5.0 built from Source (Perforce stream UE5-Release 5.0) I can launch the editor, Games / Blank / C++ / Starter Content, Name / Create and VS studio loads with the solution but UE does NOT load. I can then manually go into the project in File Manager and click test5.uproject and then it does launch. BUT it says "The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version. Would you like to rebuild them now?" If I click yes, eventually the editor loads and everything works. With, as you pointed out, the "New C++ Class" now under the Tools menu. (5.0 seems much cleaner UI wise) One other oddity, with 4.27 the VS Solution has Engine, Games, and Visualizers folders. With 5.0 there is as additional folder called Programs and it has LOTS of stuff in it. Not sure if that is important at all, but hopefully it is cleaned out before the final release is made.

    Hey, the command line is only needed if you're building Unreal Engine from source. If you installed Unreal Engine from the Epic Games Launcher then you don't need to worry about that part. However, keep in mind that Visual Studio 2019 may not be supported by Unreal 4.11 as the documentation recommends VS 2015 for that version of Unreal, docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProductionPipelines/DevelopmentSetup/VisualStudioSetup/
