#Prerequisites
Required Software
Visual Studio 2017 (Community, Professional, or Enterprise)
- Download: https://download.visualstudio.micro...d3176560aa23b03f102380e02746/vs_Community.exe
- Required Workloads:
Game Development with C++- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0)
Unreal Engine 4.18.3 Full source
System Requirements
- Windows 10/11
- 16GB+ RAM (recommended)
- 50GB+ free disk space
- Multi-core processor (faster compilation)
Initial Setup
Step 1: Extract the Source Code
Extract the leaked SummerCamp source to:
Code:
D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDevYour directory structure should look like:
Code:
SCDev/
├── Engine/
├── SummerCamp/
├── FeaturePacks/
├── Setup.bat
├── GenerateProjectFiles.bat
└── …Fixing Missing Dependencies
Step 2: Copy Unreal Engine 4.18.3 Full Source
The leaked source is missing the
Engine\ folder. You need to get it from the official UE 4.18.3 release.Instructions:
- Download UE 4.18.3 from GitHub:
https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/archive/refs/tags/4.18.3-release.zip - Open the ZIP file using WinRAR or 7-Zip
- Navigate inside the ZIP to:
Code:UnrealEngine-4.18.3-release\Engine\ - Copy the entire Full Source folder
- Paste it to:
Code:D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\Engine\
Step 3: Fix PS4 LibScePad Missing Files
The project requires PS4 SDK files that are not included in the leaked source. Without these, the build will fail.
Instructions:
- Navigate to:
Code:D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\Engine\Source\ThirdParty\PS4\LibScePad - Create a new folder named
NoRedist - Open
libScePad for PC Games.zipusing WinRAR or 7-Zip - Copy the contents from the root directory of the ZIP
- Paste into:
Code:D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\Engine\Source\ThirdParty\PS4\LibScePad\NoRedist
Fixing SDK Compatibility IssuesStep 4: Understanding the Windows SDK Problem
The Issue:
UE 4.18 was built for Visual Studio 2017 and is incompatible with Windows SDK 10.0.26100.0 (which is needed for UE5).
The compiler will fail with this error:
This happens because SDK 10.0.26100.0 introduced modern CPU intrinsics that don’t exist in the VS2015/VS2017 compiler toolchain.
The Solution:
Temporarily rename the incompatible SDK during compilation to force the compiler to use an older, compatible version.
UE 4.18 was built for Visual Studio 2017 and is incompatible with Windows SDK 10.0.26100.0 (which is needed for UE5).
The compiler will fail with this error:
Code:
Error C3861: ‘_mm_loadu_si64’: identifier not foundThis happens because SDK 10.0.26100.0 introduced modern CPU intrinsics that don’t exist in the VS2015/VS2017 compiler toolchain.
The Solution:
Temporarily rename the incompatible SDK during compilation to force the compiler to use an older, compatible version.
Step 5: Check Your Installed SDKs
Open Command Prompt and run:
Code:
dir “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include”You should see folders like:
Code:
10.0.17763.0 ← Compatible with UE4.18 ✅
10.0.26100.0 ← Incompatible with VS2017 ❌Step 6: Temporarily Rename the Incompatible SDK
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
Code:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include”
ren 10.0.26100.0 10.0.26100.0.BAKThis forces the compiler to use SDK 10.0.17763.0 instead.

To restore:
Code:ren 10.0.26100.0.BAK 10.0.26100.0
Building the Project
Step 7: Run Setup and Generate Project Files
Open Command Prompt in your project directory:
Code:
cd /d D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev
Setup.bat
GenerateProjectFiles.batExpected output:
Code:
Setting up Unreal Engine 4 project files…
Discovering modules, targets and source code for project…
Binding IntelliSense data… 100%
Writing project files… 100%Step 8: Clean Intermediate Files (Optional)
If you’re rebuilding after errors or want a clean build, run:
Code:
rd /s /q Engine\Intermediate
rd /s /q SummerCamp\Intermediate
GenerateProjectFiles.batStep 9: Open the Solution in Visual Studio 2017
- Navigate to:
D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\SummerCamp - Double-click SummerCamp.sln to open it in Visual Studio 2017
Step 10: Configure Build Settings
In Visual Studio:
- In Solution Explorer, find “SummerCamp (Visual Studio 2015)” under the Games folder
- Right-click it and select “Set as StartUp Project”
- At the top toolbar, configure:
- Configuration:
Development Editor - Platform:
x64(orWin64)
- Configuration:
Step 11: Build the Solution
Press F7 or go to Build → Build Solution
“Build Time” said:First build: 30-60 minutes (depending on your CPU)
Grab a coffee and be patient!
Expected result:
Code:
========== Build: 38 succeeded, 0 failed, 9 up-to-date, 5 skipped ==========
Launching the Editor
Step 12: Restore the SDK (if renamed)
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
Code:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include”
ren 10.0.26100.0.BAK 10.0.26100.0Step 13: Launch Unreal Editor
Method 1: From Visual Studio
- Press Ctrl+F5 (Run without debugging)
- OR press F5 (Run with debugging)
Method 2: Launch Directly
- Navigate to:
D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\Engine\Binaries\Win64 - Double-click UE4Editor.exe
- Click “Browse” and select
D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\SummerCamp\SummerCamp.uproject
Method 3: Double-click the .uproject
- Navigate to:
D:\GamesLeakedFullSource\SCDev\SummerCamp - Double-click SummerCamp.uproject
SUCCESS! The editor should now be running!
