Fab Release Notes

Version: v0.234.0
Shipped to Production: 31 October 2024

Website Bug Fixes

  • Added support for generating a Sales Report for Fab Sellers.
  • Implemented fixes to address a smaller number of items that could not be added to the cart.
  • Fixed an issue during the publishing process, where the “convert files” option would appear active despite no file being selected.
  • Fixed an issue where the displayed publication date was the date the product was last updated on Fab. This was also causing confusion when sorting by date, as it was sorting by the published date but displaying the Fab last update date. Now, the original publication date (in many cases prior to Fab’s launch, for products that were migrated to Fab from Sketchfab or UE Marketplace) will appear. The update is ongoing and will be complete soon.
  • Fixed an issue with the 3D viewer where some animation names that used unsupported characters were causing the 3D viewer to crash.
  • Fixed a small typo in the error message that would appear when an “Additional files” upload failed.
  • Fixed an issue where some assets that were purchased would prompt to be re-purchased when a user tries to download them.
  • Performance improvements made to the Library when handling UE files by reducing the number of database calls.
  • Fix to ensure the correct category pills are used when there is (and is not) a parent category selected.
  • Fixed an issue where returning to a search result after entering a listing from that search would cause unrelated global search results to appear for a brief period of time.
  • Implemented further fixes to ensure thumbnails on the homepage display correctly.
  • Implemented fixes to better handle the upload of very large file sizes.

Integrations

  • Converted files are now prioritized over FBX files, which tend to be more unpredictable.
  • Improved link handling in the plugin
  • Fixed an issue where users were seeing the drag and drop hand icon on assets they did not own.

Version: v0.237.0
Shipped to Production: 7 November 2024

Website Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where Sellers were unable to download 3D downloadable content from listings they themselves created.
  • Fixed an issue where users could not make a purchase using the iDEAL payment method
  • Fixed an issue with the Sales Report where changing date range made the report lines within that range disappear
  • Updated the copy of the Megascans “Claim All” webpage to be clearer - it now reads: “Claim them now and then download from the Quixel Profile page when you’re ready to use them”.

Integrations

  • UE5: Users are now alerted when they import an Unreal Engine format from a UE version that is not compatible with the version of UE they are using. This is just a warning message and does not block importing the asset.
  • UEFN: Fixed an issue where some purchased assets would show “View in Vault” instead of “Add to Content Browser”.

Version: v0.244.0
Shipped to Production: 8 November 2024

Website Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the cart icon would sometimes not update when a user added a paid listing item to it, unless the user hovered their mouse over the cart.
  • Implemented further fixes to address an issue where some users could not checkout using the iDEAL payment option.

Integrations

  • UE5: Fixed an issue where .glb and .gltf formats that had been automatically converted when the listing was created were not showing up as part of the search results.

Miscellaneous

  • Fixed an issue where HTML markup tags were being shown when a Fab listing was shared on Facebook.
  • Updated the default image that is shown when a non-specific (i.e., not a direct listing) Fab URL was shared.

Version: v0.248.0
Shipped to Production: 15 November 2024

Website

  • Added keyboard shortcuts for the media carousel on a page listing
    • Left and right arrow keys to navigate the carousel back and forward respectively
    • F to fullscreen a given bit of media on the carousel
      • ESC to close the fullscreen media
  • Disabled the ability for prices to be changed on listings that are partaking in an upcoming sales event and added a message to explain why.

Website Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the “Epic Developer Community” link was missing from users’ profile pages.
  • Fixed an issue where sellers could select more than one UE version when uploading an Unreal Engine format for a plugin-type listing. This change has been made as it was causing some plugins to be incorrectly built and so users were unable to download them in the Epic Games Launcher. Note: Engine version selection capability for asset packs and projects remains unchanged.

Miscellaneous

  • General improvements to handle file uploads more quickly.
  • Various background changes to support sales infrastructure.

Version: v0.255.0

Shipped to Production: 28 November 2024

Website

  • Improved support for social meta tags on listing pages and profiles.
  • Added canonical link elements to all sortable / filterable pages. This will reduce duplication and improve accuracy in search results from external search engines.

Website Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where additional files were previously being shown under the “Included Formats” section. They are now shown under an "Additional Files” section, below “Included Formats”.
  • Fixed an issue where the average star rating would display inconsistently in different contexts because they were being rounded differently in different places. This has been changed so they now all round correctly to the tenths decimal place everywhere they are shown.
  • Fixed an issue where the badge that states you own an item would not show up unless you went to your Library or the product description page, of the item you owned, first.
  • Fixed an issue with displaying the verified trader badge.
  • Improved how we handle unsupported locales. Previously, fab.com/zh-Hans would lead to a 404. Now, it will lead to fab.com/zh-cn because both locales are closely related. fab.com/zh-Hant however, would lead to fab.com/ (English) because we don’t currently have a close language to fall back on.

Plugin Bug Fixes

  • Updated the user profile icon to default to the first letter of the username, as it was previously defaulting to “-”.
  • Fixed an issue where switching to Spanish would redirect you to an invalid path.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes

  • When sharing a listing via the social platform X, the generated card will now include the product description.
  • Fixed an issue where a Seller could not retry trader verification in some circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue where the Publishing Guidelines (top navigation: Community → Publishing Guidelines) would default to being in French.
  • Fixed an issue where switching to Spanish would redirect you to an invalid path.

Version: v0.258.3
Shipped to Production: 5 December 2024

Website - General

  • When selecting a licence on a product page, we now disable the “technical details” rows that correspond to files that are not covered by the selected license. For example, if you select a UEFN - Reference only license, you will not see the technical details for the non-referenced version of that product.
  • Updated localization across the website.

Website Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where default search layout would be seen briefly when entering a curated search result when on a connection with slow internet speed.

Integrations

  • Improved plugin resilience to prevent some rare cases that resulted in the UE and UEFN integrations entering a state where certain actions were broken.

Integration Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the “Copy” button for sharing a listing would not copy the link to the clipboard.
