Fab not working on linux

Hello, I recently just installed the Fab Plugin, however when running it I get the error: “Failed to load URL Fab Plugin with error ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED (-105).“

Same here. Couldn’t find a solution yet.

EDIT: I finally found a solution which worked for me! I downloaded the older UE version 5.5.4 (instead of 5.6.0) and Fab Plugin 5.5.0 0.0.4 (instead of 5.6.0 0.0.6) from the downloads page (click on the blue button “show earlier releases”) and everything works without any issues <3 I hope this helps all the others encountering the same problem!

Ok I will try this

It actually worked :slight_smile:

Rolling back to 5.5 isn’t an option for me, unfortunately, so the proposed solution isn’t necessarily viable. It appears the version of CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) being shipped in 5.6 is either broken or incorrectly implemented. There are some proposed workarounds (like editing Engine/Source/ThirdParty/CEF3/CEF3.build.cs and setting bool bUseExperimentalVersion = false; then recompiling) but they haven’t worked for me.

Instead, consider using “Asset Manager Studio” from “Master Technology”. It’s sad that we need a community tool to replace basic functionality on Linux.
