UE5 Quick Tip 24: 3 Steps to Correctly Rename Your Projects

[@alexandrawilliams4627]

This was an excellent tutorial! I remember reading one of your articles while I was in school.

[@MRX360IBZ]

Remember to close the engine and delete the "Intermediate" project folder. Then restart and you will be able to package it

[@samuelcohen1]

Thank you so much for this. I was having this exact issue and you just saved me a lot of time. Hope you have a great day.

All hail WorldofLevelDesign, for one of the most useful tutorials I've ever seen! It's easy to follow, not too long and incredibly helpful. tysm

[@adamb404]

That's one of those things that unquestionably needs to be a script

[@LarionSiments]

If you get a multiple targets error when packging after this, delete the intermidiate folder, thanks for the video!

I never knew about step three and I bet that's what helped break a couple projects! THANK YOU!

[@marknelson8545]

Did this in October 2024 with v5.4.4 and got a bunch of export errors after loading back up. The project was broken (one of the broken exports was the camera, which wasn't working). Had to name it back to what it was in order to fix it.

Thank you! Subscribed just for this.

[@HammerdownProtocol]

That was very useful. Thank you.

[@Erikges]

Watch out! The tutorial is Incomplete! You will face a big mess if you plan to PACKAGE after it! You must absolutely DELETE the INTERMEDIATE folder of your project before to restart it! If not, you will experience an unexpected "Unknown Error" when packaging. ^^

I LOVE YOU!!!!!! I've been stuck on this problem for 2 days!

[@Ailtire]

Thanks 🙏🙏 Moreover, if you rename your project with unsupported characters, It is not going to be packaged properly.

[@zeon3d755]

In task manager, the old name still appears. How do you change that>

[@AiDancingshow]

YOU ARE THE BEST.

[@NaxUnknown]

i cant see the top name of DefaultEngine

[@cosmopolitan616]

Renaming something has never been so hard for me 😂

[@Pendif]

thanks you just broke my project

[@whitefang8329]

Thank you.

[@ChibiKohina]

Thanks

[@Pendif]

you can just right click your build after making it and rename that and it wont break anything

[@dryuppi4488]

thanks man

[@ZimCrusher]

Doing this still does not change the build name, for me.
When I go File>Package Project> Build Target > XXXXXX The name is still the original name.
Do you know how to change that?

[@WorldofLevelDesign]

Sorry Zim. Don't know what could be causing this.

[@arredondojordan]

There’s really not an easier way to do this? AHHHH

[@frizky._]

this is easy enough

[@arredondojordan]

@@frizky._ you right, just tried it myself and it took like 2 minutes
