I have found in my own projects and sometimes in other people's projects when I open them preload doesn't work.

I get errors like this: E 0:00:00.718 load: Failed loading resource: res://Weapons/Fists.tscn. Make sure resources have been imported by opening the project in the editor at least once. <C++ Error> Condition "found" is true. Returned: RES() <C++ Source> core/io/resource_loader.cpp:270 @ load()

Even when I can find the scene at the path.

Did you actually open the project and save it with the editor? It has to update the project file and scene files with the resource paths.

Can you post an example?

Aren't the paths meant to be relative to the project file. I tried 'Save All Scenes' but not sure what you mean by saving it in the editor or at least how to do that.

Here is a project I cannot run. I think the resource paths are messed up and not relative to project folder but problem is I don't know the best way to fix that.

I can't see that content since it's behind a paywall. Do you have any examples that you made?
