FAB plugin shows "View in Launcher" instead of "Add to Project"

Development Getting Started & Setup

Summary: Attempting to load the asset pack “Rideable Bikes: Sport Bike” with the FAB plugin shows “View in Launcher” instead of “Add to Project” when viewed in the FAB launcher. I am using Linux, so installing through the Epic Launcher is not an option. Other asset packs have the expected “Add to Project” option.

Type of bug: Issue with adding asset through FAB plugin
Bug URL: https://www.fab.com/listings/d3a2d53f-75aa-4bb1-80ee-9e50830d48ec

Reproduction steps:
Purchase and add asset pack to library as normal. Open FAB plugin from project and navigate to asset pack in library. The asset pack page will read “View in Launcher” below the “Saved in My Library” checkmark.

Expected behavior: I can add the files from the asset pack to my project by clicking a button labelled “Add to Project”
Observed behavior: Clicking View in Launcher tries to open the nonexistent (and unavailable on my platform) Epic Games launcher

Platform and OS: Unreal Engine 5.5.3 with FAB plugin 0.0.4 on Arch Linux 6.12.13 LTS

Did you manage to solve this issue?

Having similar issue with Level Design Assistant 2 - only adding to editor instead of project and I’m working on a shared project.

Bitbucket as Source Control.

Edit
Unreal Engine Ver 5.5.4 - Windows 11 - 64 bit

Best way to install content now is to open up the FAB window in your Unreal Engine window by going to the top and clicking Window > FAB (with FAB plugin enabled)

From there, you can add the content directly into your project and it even routes you to where the assets get placed.

I see that you tried this /\

I would log out and back into your account and shut down the epic games launcher.

If that does not fix it, I would contact the seller. I had this issue with a pack that had an invalid .uasset file.
