Error: Please make sure Unreal Engine is running before exporting assets

When I try to export something from Bridge, it says Exporting… then this message. I have UE4 OPEN and the plugin location is correct. I do not know why it still thinks UE4 is not running. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This video helped me to solve the issue.
You need to restart the UE after installing the plugin. That’s all.

SOLUTION
open your project and use “Add Quixel Content” option inside the UE

it will open Bridge as a window where you can download to your Local and export

so yeah, i got this error in Bridge 2024.0.1 and UE 5.4.2 and… didn’t find any working solution anywhere

HOW I GOT THE ERROR
i thought it was a good idea to install Bridge as an app but i guess that’s were the problem was

so, i logged in Bridge app, installed what i needed, then tried to export and faced this error

checked plugins in UE - all good, but still error

restarted UE - error’s here

SOLUTION (more details)
then i closed the Bridge app, opened my project in UE, opened content browser, clicked the right mouse button, found “Add Quixel Content”

then yeah, downloaded what i wanted again and exported

worked just right

hope this helps!
