FSoftObjectPath::SerializePathWithoutFixup

function CoreUObject Since unknown

#include "UObject/SoftObjectPath.h"

Access: public

Description

Serializes the raw path bytes without applying PostLoadPath fixup, preserving the original on-disk string exactly as stored.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Because no fixup is applied, the deserialized path may be stale if core redirects have moved the referenced asset since the data was saved. Use SerializePath unless you specifically need to inspect or migrate the raw stored value.
• This variant is mainly used by the cook and asset registry pipelines that need to read the pre-fixup path for redirect resolution. Calling it in gameplay code almost always indicates a design mistake.
