Hello, I’m new to Nakama and I’m trying to do some PoCs with it to see what we can build using this amazing playcentric game services. As the first step, I created a new project with the third person template from my UE5 installation. I followed the steps, getting the released version on github and copy the folder Nakama to my Plugins project. After do this, I got the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/heroiclabs/original/2X/7/715b99a124f0f992639429c1c8a701d29313bc69.png) If I click yes, I got the following message: “SampleProject” could not be compiled. Try rebuild from source manually." This message is from the release : [v2.5.0-r1](https://github.com/heroiclabs/nakama-unreal/releases/tag/v2.5.0-r1) I also tried the last release and this is the result and the same message appears, but compling about: NakamaUnreal NakamaBluePrints NakamaCore Could you someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Additional information: I’m using a Windows 11 machine. ---

Can you double-check this step? > Also, please ensure your Unreal project is a C++ project. If it is Blueprint only, you can add a new C++ file to your project in Unreal Editor via “File → New C++ Class”. Set it private and name it whatever you like. Having this file in your project lets Unreal compile the plugin. ---
