Code plugins are not updating through the launcher

Summary

For over 2 months I have not seen any plugins I own updating themselves in the launcher. At first, I assumed the creators just weren’t releasing updates, but I know one of my products recently had an update and I had to uninstall and reinstall to get the latest version. My blueprints also are bugged, whenever I add a product to my project, the product will immediately say ‘update’. What could be going wrong here? I’ve tried reinstalling the launcher and deleting the cache. Launcher updates also have not fixed it. I have owned Fab/Unreal launcher for 8+ years and never seen an error persist this long.

What type of bug are you experiencing?

Plugins

Steps to Reproduce

Log into launcher, installed plugins are there but never show available updates or allow me to download them.

Expected Result

I should see an exclamation mark and option to download new updates for all my owned plugins when they updates are released.

Observed Result

Code Plugins never receive updates, downloads never come.

Platform

Fab launcher

Operating System

Windows 11

Heya @ac11b :slight_smile: Thank you for providing these. I will pass these along to the team investigating this issue and hope to get back to you as soon as possible. It is a public holiday today in the US, and other regions. So it may take a little longer than usual.

Thanks

Hi has there been any updates? I have re-installed the entire launcher including VS 2022 exactly according to epic’s guide, and still am getting the same error. Updates for code-plugins are not showing. This is becoming a breaking issue I own and use dozens of code plugin products.
