Unreal Engine Migrate a Project to a New Engine Version

Migrating a project from one version of Unreal Engine to another involves several steps to ensure compatibility and to take advantage of new features and improvements in the updated engine version.

Before starting the migration process, create a backup of your project. This ensures you can revert to the previous version if something goes wrong.

I personally don't use the default migration feature provided by Unreal Engine, the Convert in Place or Make a Copy feature, because, every time I used the feature a number of compatibility issues arise.

When I want to migrate a project, I copy and paste the content from the old project to the new project (I recommend the new project to be blank, this way, you will avoid a lot of troubles that can arise)

Next, open the Project Settings of the old project and Export the settings to your device

Open the Project Settings of the new project and Import the settings

This process has worked for me many times with little or no problems at all. My personal opinion is that this is the best solution to project migration in Unreal Engine

Even if Convert in Place or Make a Copy feature works well, almost certainly you will find problems when you will try to package the project (and that can be extremely frustrating).

That was all. If you have questions or you need additional help, contact me by posting a comment in the comment section below or through the contact page. Have a nice day!
