Having worked with UE and VS before, there's so much I didn't know just on the setup, thanks Nu!
Nicely done, couldn't have figured it out without this guide.
There's so much that can be automated here, I can't believe we need to do all of this manual setup in 2023...
And having something work without errors baked in the cake. Pretty frustrating.
It’s called gatekeeping
@@sujaypuri7287 I really do not think it was meant to be a gatekeeping, this is just a result
Epic has made it clear that they don't give a shit about anyone who doesn't work in AAA. Just look at the documentation, it's pathetic
Thanks for the calm and collected approach to setting this up. Other videos are very staccato and difficult to watch and follow. I've been a developer for over 20 years, so I know it's hard, but you have to slow down and you did a great job.
Yes, I am a 45+ year UNIX/Linux programmer and I had to press pause, backup, play several time to figure out which VS menu option was selected.
very nice, having you back
Came because build was finicky once, left with much more tools that I didn't know I needed. Thanks
Very helpful video! I was about to give up with using Unreal Engine before I watched your video, and it really helped me get my environment all set up!
Thank you, very usefull, saved me a lot of time. It is really for a beginner to find all steps to setup everything and this video covers all. 💪
This is an awesome video! Great explanation of what the unreal engine integration tools do in visual studio. Switched back to visual studio after some time of not using it and was a bit confused when the integration pop up opened XD.
this was really helpful, thank you!
Thanks a lot, very clear!
Hey! Future Marcus! You're awesome! Thanks for putting this together! My UE coding is actually working correctly now!
Thanks for the tutorial, thanks to you this engine is finally working
SUPER helpful thx
Thanks for tutorial and the UE 5 tips! Helped a lot
Thanks so much for this fantastic video! Much appreciated :)
Thank you very much!!! another important lesson learned!!!
Excellent tutorial!
Bookmarking this for later. You are awesome good sir! I hope I get to sit next to you and pick your brain some day :)
Thank you for this. I spent 6 hours today stumbling through unreal documentation figuring out how all of this works. I got it working and then I ran into issues. The problem I've had is that with UE 5.3.2 and VS 2022, when I build the solution and then run UE Editor, nothing I do in VS updates the editor, but the editor will override and update VS. Anyways, very thankful to have found this video and still got 10 mins to watch lol
Lifesaver, cheers!
Thank you, was very helpfull!
Thanks for the help! You saved me many hours of pulling what's left of my hair out.
thanks for this!

Welcome back!
Thank you for this video, it saved my sanity! Btw should you pick the blue theme instead of the dark at VS2022 installation, you may run into the issue that the unreal engine configuration check does _Not_ show the little run buttons. Switching the theme to dark fixes that.
GREAT help, thanks! I loved the speed. I have a pause button. I dislike videos where they have too much dead air time in the audio. I did have some difficulty figuring out which VS menu items to press as a few times they were obscured by the youtube video title. But again, that is what pause, backup, and play are for.
Thanks for the feedback! Will try to be more mindful of where that UI is next time.
Thanks
FYI the VS Plugin does not work in 5.4 and MS will not be updating it because it's functionality is now part of VS 2022
awsome! saving
Can you post your other settings in VS? Specifically how you got the collapsing boxes with + and - back. I hate their little arrows.
Very nice video, thanks for this knowledge. Did you find the solution for the "empty NameSpace Error" -> UObject -> Class AttemptToFindShortTypeNamesInMetaData which is shown in Test Explorer? Kind regards, Eiven
Im watching this video because i wanted to go back and see if I missed some steps when I did my installation and notice that the Checklist you show at 10.20, I forgot all about it and can't seem to find it again. Do you happen to know if it's possible to get it to reappear?
Btw. fantastic video. Super helpfull! Thanks a bunch for making that recording.
It should launch on startup when you open an Unreal project unless you suppressed it (I think there's a checkbox). To bring it back you can go into Tools -> Options and search Unreal Engine. Then in General settings, flip "Show on startup" to True.
I don't even work with UE or VS but this was oddly entertaining
Nice stuff!! What happened to your other video that was about prototyping / greyboxing in Unreal Engine to make quick level design? Swear you had a video on that unless I'm trippin :')
ohh that video was on your other channel 😅
th-cam.com/video/cQjZMQXsQLQ/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, sorry about that. 😅
what if you want to use sdk for android, shall i check mobile development with C++ and multi platform ui app development?
Yeah, you can add on the mobile development components. You can also add/remove piece on demand by relaunching the Visual Studio Installer.
Can we code in c# in visual studio and trough it implement it in UE5 ?
Thanks for the vid !! I've watched it carefully and I don't understand what is wrong. Visual studio doesn't find any header file or include. I've searched google and it says to set the path to the header file at some point, but I've never done that before and it was working until yesterday and also I haven't found how to do that), and I'm trying with empty project since then and that's the same. I've reinstalled VS with all the settings, checked UE 5.3 several times, tried with 5.2... I don't know what else I can do, I create a new c++ project, the project by default is screwed...
any video on actually setting up the scene?
Can you upload a video on step by step process android game devlopment process using unreal engine 5 c++
I'm having trouble getting my UBT to create DebugGame configuration I only get Development. Wondering if anyone knows why
I have a question: you have downloaded that launcher version of UE5 then a source build, are you using the source build for your project? and rebuild it from there? also the integrator is not being install in the source build of the engine. if im using the source build unreal integration configuration showing as not configure, i tried to build a dedicated server using launcher version 5.3 C++ and having error with MSB3073
In this video I am only building project sources. I do have a video on building the engine from source, which you can find here:
th-cam.com/video/fag-mWc6VmY/w-d-xo.html
Bro I installed the same packages that you choose from beginning of the video but it was 25GB why?
I've been following a great course on Udemy but I've been having some issues when it comes to compiling and other processes which really hinder the experience. I've followed the steps on this video and will for sure return if I notice any changes.
Dude you are my hero your video is the only thing in the whole internet that works to set up visual studio for unreal engine 5.3 xD what a shitshow it is to get that thing to work 💩
UE5 my beloved 😍
noob question is the first time im using VS, do i have to always do the set up to every individual project like the naming convention etc ?
For the Unreal integration piece, yes. I generally just copy my .editorconfig file from a previous project.
@@NuMakesGames thanks man!!
How to c++ code for unreal engine 5 in visual studio ..?
Hi! Does this video apply also if you package a game from the editor ?
For a C++ project, yes. For a Blueprint only project I think you still need the compiler setup but you probably don’t need all the plugin and VS settings bits.
@@NuMakesGames I always get a package error code 6 . Something about automation tool? Dont get it, none of the fixes I found works
I LOVE your desktop background it's so cozy
my project has 5 errors reading unreal engine codes, like
E0070 incomplete type is not allowed UnrealLearningKit C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.3\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Containers\StringView.h 408
Sem here
What do you do when you get "Some issues detected in unreal engine configuration" Where does it tell you where the problems are, is there a log file?
I haven't seen that, but the first place I would look is the various tabs in Visual Studio's Output window.
when i try to create a project i get this:
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'delayimp.lib'
After i close VS and UE5 Editor and then reopen the UE5 Project, i get "The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version" and its listing the name of the project.
Building the game in VS works and using that small compile button in the editor also compiles.
I'm so confused whats going on and its really frustrating.
You might need to reselect the correct engine version for your project. I believe there’s an option in the right click context menu on the project file.
@@NuMakesGames Ive installed 5.2.1 and the problem doesnt happen anymore. It's weird though it was the third person template with c++ selected with 0 modifications otherwise, that kept showing the error on 5.3.x. Anyway thanks for the tip with the context menu version change, ill try to remember that for when i need it.
As of May 2024 there appears to be no VS Integration Tool for Unreal 5.4. Is it possible to code in VS without the integration tool? My scripts won't even compile?
Did you find a solution?
@@gal1leo868 I've rolled back to 5.3.2.
But it looks like support for 5.4 has just been released
When I click 'Generate Visual Studio project files' like you at 6:52, I don't get the .sln file. Only a .code-workspace file. I don't know what i did wrong.
If you have multiple IDEs installed Unreal will follow your setting in Editor Preferences > General > Source Code > Source Code Editor
the Unreal Engine test status wont work? any ideas on why that might be
Could you give me more details on what you're seeing?
@@NuMakesGames In the Unreal engine configuration tab the unreal engine test adapter statues says that my version visual studio integration tool is out of date when its not. I checked for visual studio updates, reinstalled the unreal integration tool. so im not sure what it could be.
this is what the error says. Analyzing Blueprints - Error: There was a problem while running the Unreal Engine integration for the project.
im literally pogging out of my mind
lmao
why this one is not in the documentation? or maybe i just scan not read it? xD
I don't have the option under the step at 6:50, I right click the .uproject and it's just Open with, Share with Skype, Scan with Microsoft Defender, Share, Restore Previous Versions, Send To, Cut, Copy, Create Shortcut, Delete, Rename, and Properties ONLY. There is no option to Generate Visual Studio project files. Every other step I completed successfully.
What else do I need to do?
If you are on Windows 11 you might need to click through the Show More Options button.
@@NuMakesGames Your Walkthrough got ALL the issues I was having with the Unreal Engine Integration Configuration fixed. All Green, Thankyou!
Now if I can get this buggy tool to stop showing errors. I'm running the Third Person Project base and can't even get the basic barebones to Build without errors. Running it in C++ rather than Blueprints is proving to be quite the headache/challenge. Tempted to just go with Blueprints. I'll poke around, thanks again!
3:11 wait what? Editor symbols for debugging? 80 gigs?
For some reason when I F5 I get an error that prevents me from starting the project.
What’s the error?
@@NuMakesGames Interesting enough, i figured out that all the errors were pooping after i create an actor from unreal engine and then try to run Visual studio. Then i figured out that I needed to go to the files and open the visual studio from there and then F5 which then started Unreal and the rest worked fine.
@@ripkowai after adding a new file you need to regenerate the solution file and reopen. Usually the regenerate happens automatically and you will be prompted by VS to reload the project, if it’s already running.
Thank you for the post you are a life saver. Your video showed me exactly what I need to do in fast and easy steps. I deserved a like and subscribe.
i apprentice you dawg
use the integration tool in 5.4 :(
This vid didn't solve my exact problem, but solved another and allowed me time to figure out my other issue. 10/10 good sir!
🍿
Worst tutorial you are going way to fast if anybody is reading this skip this video and pick any other
Sorry to hear that. Let me know if anything needs clarification!
@@NuMakesGames Excuse me i will get back to you about it i gtg
dont take it personnaly
@@NuMakesGames what do we do to open in 6:51
@@NuMakesGames and if you can make a new video
@@replansword for that timestamp just open Windows Explorer and navigate to the location you selected when creating the project
Thanks for your video, but i followed your video step by step, and when i wanna F5 LyraStarterGame proyect, i got like 2.500 errores like this: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Details

Hrm. It sounds like your version of the project is targeting a different version of .NET. If you relaunch the Visual Studio installer you should be able to add it.
@@NuMakesGames add what exactly? What I'm missing? I started installation from scratch
@@thechoppa22 Do you have .NET installed (In the video I got it from the ".NET desktop development" workload checkbox)? From my current installation, I have the following individual components for .NET:
- .NET 8.0 Runtime
- .NET Framework 4.6.2 targeting pack
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting pack
- .NET Framework 4.8 SDK
- .NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack
- .NET SDK
With this configuration, I just setup the latest version of Lyra on UE 5.3, set LyraStarterGame to the starter project, and confirmed that F5 on Development Editor builds and launches as expected.
Hope this helps!
I just check it and yes, i have all those installed...@@NuMakesGames
i just realise that all those errors coming from all C# projects like AutomationTool & UnrealBuildTool.. etc, but i still can't figure it out@@NuMakesGames
At 7:34 I don't have the option to select Unreal toolbar, how do you get this? I installed the configuration for unreal engine in visual studio and have everything correctly ticked but this option isn't there for me
You need to install the plugin mentioned at 5:15.
@@NuMakesGamesI’m stupid. Thank you for the quick reply!
