Please allow me to correct wording. The Maps SDK supports Unreal Versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, however to use it you must install the plugin to the project in versions 5.1 and 5.2. We do not support engine installation for versions other than Unreal 5.0. If you wish to install the plugin to the engine and have it accessible across all your projects, you will need to use Unreal 5.0. If you would like top utilize the newer features in Unreal 5.1 or 5.2, you will need to install the plugin per project.
I hope that clears things up for you.

Hi Mason,

Thank you for that clarification. It would be good if that's added into documentation somewhere. I prefer to create a project with basic setup (like in tutorials but without actual data) and then make a template out of it. That saves a lot of time.

Regards,

MasonGaw

Mason,

I'll keep testing to see if I can narrow it down to possible cause.

I do have to correct you about versions of Unreal Engine supported. Maps SDK does support 5.X Unreal Engine as per this page.

Hi,

I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue. We don't support engine installation for Unreal Versions 5.1 and 5.2. We do support it for 5.0, but this feature has been removed for new versions of Unreal.
Please let me know if you have any other issues or questions.

Hmmm, I managed to get it going but I am not sure what and how it got fixed. Here is what I did as part of the testing

removed another plugin from Unreal Engine plugins directory (downloaded from Marketplace)
created C++ project
added Maps SDK plugin
re-added plugin from Unreal Engine plugins directory (downloaded from Marketplace) removed in first bullet point
created new C++ project
added Maps SDK plugin
opened project

and Maps SDK is there and available!

I'll have to test more and repeat to confirm the workflow...

For sake of testing I have removed Maps SDK plugin from Engine\Plugins directory, created new C++ project. Then I have copied Maps SDK plugin content to <project>\Plugins directory but no luck, still the same error happens.

I prefer to install the plugin in Unreal Engine installation directory with all other plugins so it is available for all my projects.

In my case it is like below

Once I create the project I just have to enable the plugin and restart the editor. Obviously, in this case it produces the first error about different version of the engine.

By chance, do you know if you are using a Clang compiler or an msvc Compiler?

Mason,

I have checked the VS installation as per documentation (using 5.2 page) and here are my settings

VS WorkloadsC++ game dev

I have also applied optional settings as per the page. Unfortunately, that didn't help. Here is the copy of the output console.

Thank you

Can we also please get a complete copy of the console output in order to better understand the issue?

Thanks

Hi Zorko,
Thanks for the confirmation and sorry those solutions didn't work. Please refer to this link from Epic Games how to setup and Visual Studio to make sure it works with Unreal. There are a couple packages that need to be added to your visual studio installation in order for it to work with Unreal. You should not need to do a fresh installation of Visual Studio, and should be able to just open the Visual Studio Installer and select "Modify", this will then bring you to the necessary screen to add or remove packages.

https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.1/en-US/setting-up-visual-studio-development-environment-for-cplusplus-projects-in-unreal-engine/

Please let me know if this helps.

Hi MasonGaw,

Yes, it is a C++ project (I already made the Blueprint error earlier ). In project directory there is a .sln file.

The build using 'ctrl + shift + b' still fails with the same message as below

Severity Code Description Project File Line Source Suppression State
Error MSB3073 The command ""D:\Program Files\Epic games\UE_5.2\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat" sample_projectEditor Win64 Development -Project="E:\UnrealEngine52\mapssdk\sample_project\sample_project.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6. sample_project C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 44 Build

I am running Visual Studio 17.4.2 Community 2022 64bit.

Thank you.

Hi there,
We need a little more information in order to help troubleshoot.
Can you confirm whether you created the project as a 'Blueprints' or 'C++' project? Additionally, you can right click on the .uproject and hit 'Generate Visual Studio Project Files'. If this does not finish/gives an error when completing, please show what the error is.

If it completes and finishes, please open up the .sln file that was created from generating the visual studio project files. Once open, you can go to Build > Build Solution or press 'ctrl + shift + b' to build the solution. This should build and once finished you should be able to open the project. If the build fails, please send a screenshot with the errors.

Thank you,

Mason
