Hey @Gabor_D. We appreciate the time taken in writing up this bug-report. Thank you. I’ve passed this along to the appropriate team for investigation.

Thanks!

Confirmed here - both in upgraded projects, as well as fresh 5.6.1 project.

All the proper Metahuman Core Data and plugins enabled.

[EDIT] They seem to have fixed the Download button when accessing directly on the web. But still broken in-editor and Launcher.

Hey,

This has been resolved in the latest version of the FAB plugin that was released today. Please update your FAB plugin for UE5.6 via the Epic Games Launcher and try again:

Cheers
