Hi!

I have 7 errors in my project after moving to a new computer. All are “unresolved externals”. See below. How can I find out where the error actually is? The files referenced are not files I have changed in any way.
“hge” is the name of a game engine/library im using.

Thank you!
Erik

I'm not sure what that is ? But when i search in the propterty pages →linker there is nothing about verbose.

I'm using visual studio 2017.

The names suggest innards of the MSVC standard library or of generated code. When you switched to a new computer, something might have changed:

Different compiler version (possibly with stale library files or object files from HGE or your game that need to be recompiled)
Different set of actually installed MSVC redistributable runtimes, Windows SDKs and the like
Incorrectly adapted/recreated MSVC solution files
