Summary
Hello,
I am currently experiencing a serious issue with Fab and I’m unable to download any assets at all.
Here is what is happening:
On the Fab website, the Download button does not appear, so I cannot download ZIP files directly.
Inside Unreal Engine, when I click “Add to Project”, nothing happens. There is no download notification, no progress bar, and no assets are added to my project.
In the Epic Games Launcher, the download icon now appears, but when I try to download a ZIP file, I receive an error.
This issue is not limited to a specific asset (for example, Granite Rock). I cannot download any asset from Fab.
I have already tried:
Logging out and back into my Epic account
Restarting Unreal Engine
Restarting the Epic Games Launcher
Reinstalling / verifying the Fab UE Plugin
Clearing browser cache and cookies
Using different browsers
Disabling VPN and antivirus protections
Pressing F12 to open DevTools (nothing happens — no window opens)
At this point, I am completely blocked and cannot continue my work because I cannot access any assets.
Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution?
Thank you in advance for any help.
What type of bug are you experiencing?

Steps to Reproduce
- Log into my Epic Games account.
- Go to fab.com and open any asset listing (for example Granite Rock, but it happens with all assets).
- The Download button does not appear on the page.
- If I try to use “Add to Project” inside Unreal Engine, nothing happens.
- If I try to download from the Epic Games Launcher, the download starts but shows an error and fails.
- Pressing F12 in Chrome does not open DevTools or any console window.
Expected Result
The Download button should appear on the asset page.
Clicking “Add to Project” should download the asset and add it to my Unreal Engine project.
Downloading from the Epic Games Launcher should complete successfully without errors.
Pressing F12 should open the browser DevTools window.
Observed Result
The Download button does not appear.
“Add to Project” does nothing.
Downloads from the Epic Games Launcher fail with an error.
Pressing F12 does not open DevTools or any console window.
