  4. Save and close the file.

Build your engine's Crash Report Client​

After completing your project build and configuration of Unreal Engine 5, you can build the Crash Report Client and Editor.

Follow these steps to build the Crash Report Client and Editor:

  1. Open UE5.sln in Visual Studio 2022.
  2. In the Solution Explorer, find the CrashReportClient project, right-click on it, and Build it.
  3. Once CrashReportClient finishes building, repeat for the CrashReportClientEditor project.
note

You need to build CrashReportClient and CrashReportClientEditor sequentially. Ensure that previous builds have finished before initiating the next.
