Errors coming from UE5 source files even in new project

I have these errors from files that I have not made any changed to.

  • I have tried regenerating Visual Studio files.
  • I also uninstalled/reinstalled Unreal engine and Visual Studio.
  • I originally started with Visual Studio 2019 but when I started getting these issues, I did update to Visual Studio 2022.
  • One post I found said the issue was resolved by going to the Visual Studio Installer → Visual Study Community 2022 → Modify - Individual Components → uncheck IDE Support for Unreal Engine. but this did not resolve it for me
  • Another post suggested Click Edit → Editor Preferences → Source Code Change Source Code Editor to “Visual Studio 2022” Click Tools → Refresh Visual Studio 2022 Project Click Tools → Open Visual Studio 2022 to open the project in Visual Studio
  • I have tried opening various UE5 projects but the errors persist even when no code/classes have been added.

I'm lost in this dark world any help is appreciated!

Error List

Solution

  • Coming from a comment I gave to the original question:

    The "Error List" window in Visual Studio does not work well with Unreal, due to parsing issues of IntelliSense. The best way to see if an Unreal project builds seems to be to just build it and ignore IntelliSense alltogether. In this case, it is best to set the dropdown in the "Error List" window to "Build" instead of "Build + IntelliSense", to filter out any errors that just come from IntelliSense.

    I found to just ignore the "Error List" and just work with the "Output" window to be a good solution as well, but that's just preference.
