Very new to gamedev, not sure what this is about, but it’s comes up whenever I try to open up any project, be a new project I created or an example. It makes everything blank and prevents me from doing anything in the engine.

Hello! Editor settings missing shouldn’t generally prevent you from using the engine (It is basically just the options.ini file for the editor itself, holding non-mandatory settings, such as hotkey configs and default IDE). Would you mind sharing the full log so someone can look and see if it’s something else?

A few things though.

  1. Linux or Windows?
  2. “Editor settings” Is a file located -
  • Windows: %appdata%/Roaming/Flax/EditorOptions.json
  • Linux: /.config/Flax/EditorOptions.json

If you are on linux, From my experience, you need to be sudo’d to really do anything in the engine. Along with making sure Flax.Build is marked as executable.

HI! Thank you for responding, I’m using Windows 11. I am kind of stupid, it seems like I had to right click “open scene” and that made all the objects and script visible. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me though. I’ll probabably need help with something else later, lol.

No worries, That’s what the forums are for.

Good luck with your game dev adventures!
