Updating Kismet

Replace an existing project plugin installation with a newer Kismet build.

Update the plugin

Update Kismet by replacing the project plugin folder with a newer packaged build.

  1. 1.

    Close Unreal Editor.

  2. 2.

    Download the newer Kismet build for the same Unreal Engine version.

  3. 3.

    Back up or remove the old project Plugins/Kismet folder.

  4. 4.

    Copy the new Kismet folder into Plugins.

  5. 5.

    Open the project and accept any rebuild prompt.

  6. 6.

    Open Kismet and confirm that sign-in and API key settings still work.

Keep the old plugin folder until the project opens successfully with the new version. This makes it easy to roll back if the build does not match your Unreal Engine version.
