Same issues as the above accounts. Regardless of what computer I sign into Epic games Launcher on, none of my accounts plugins, assets, etc. populate into the Epic Games Launcher. No plugins show up, including FAB UE Plugin. None of my new purchases show up either, as I 've just purchased EasyMapper by William faucher through the FAB website online… yet nothing shows up in the Launcher still. All filters are selected and active. I have uninstalled all engines, uninstalled the launcher, all on two computers, reinstalled everything, re-logged in. Issue persists. Unbelievable.

same issue, noticed 9 hours ago bit could have been an issue for a while as iv not needed to download any new assets since before the swap to FAB.
Plugin not available and the only assets that show in my library are ones already downloaded and stored in my vault.

I will second this. These are the exact same issues I am experiencing. No assets are populating into the Vault on Epic Games Launcher for Unreal engine. No new purchases are populating. No old purchases show up, regardless of the PC I am signing in from. The FAB for UE Plugin also does not populate. The vault, regardless of filter status, continues to show nothing. Have reinstalled the launcher and unreal engine 5.3+5.4 on multiple PCs. Same issues persist.

iv been on with support 4 times over the last 8 hours and i just get looped through support forms and fobbed off!

clean installs, multiple machines, multiple log in methods, removed connected accounts… iv tried everything possible with no luck!

i even tried booting UEFN to pull assets and port over but with such a limited UEFN approved asset list, i had no luck!

Same here. Completely broken.

Decided to install the Fab plugin today, but you can no longer find it on EGL.

If I go to Fab.com, browse my library and try to download an asset, it tells me to go to EGL where it’s not visible or available. If I click the asset thumbnail, it goes to a broken web page.

My library in EGL is nearly empty and my library on Fab.com is full, but it doesn’t matter because it won’t let me download any of my assets.

same , tried everything, reinstaled everything. -Filter by : Category- won’t respond(not clickable)

I’ve tried the following:

  1. Done all the normal steps (update epic games, click search - “fab”, maked sure we have 5.3 project or latest ect)
  2. Completely removing ALL Epic Games/Unreal Engine/Epic Launcher/Epic Online System Content (Bad Move! because the cached files where the only ones that would work - now i have access to nothing because nothing is cached)
  3. Created a New Epic Games Account - Works well as expected from finding the Fab Plugin to getting content into UE, but doesn’t help because I don’t have assets on that account
  4. Tried clearing all browser cache as well as using different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)

EPIC GAMES - THIS IS A CODE RED

Please - production of a project I’m volunteering my time to produce animations for a community depends on access to all of the content that I’ve purchased over the years from unreal / Epic. Incredibly frustrating that we’ve not any download access to items we’ve already purchase. if the launcher isn’t going to populate, at the very least allow manual downloads directly from the website. Please —

This is ridiculous! Only some of my assets show up in the library, and I can’t even fine the Fab UE Plugin, it just not show up. There’s no update available to the launcher, and I’ve tried to log out and in, or even reinstall the launcher, still no result.

WARNING: DO NOT DELETE YOUR CACHED FOLDERS

Currently if you have this issue and have some cached assets DO NOT delete them because you wont be able to get them back until the problem is resolved. IE if you need to work on a project NOW and can start with maybe some cached assets ,then start your project and wait until Epic fixes the issue. Deleting them I thought would allow for a rescyn but you end up not having access to anything.

To find the “Fab UE Plugin” you can create another Epic Games Account, Make sure you have UE5.3 installed and then do the “Search for Fab” method and it will show up, you can then install it to the engine and then switch back accounts. You can then also use the “Fab” menu item inside of the UE editor once installed, HOWEVER, if you do not have cached assets that are specifically installed as plugins and not “Content” then this work around doesnt help because it still doent allow “install to engine” type assets to be refreshed on the Epic Games Vault side.

Good luck all - Please update with any findings - and remember Cache is like gold right now, DO NOT delete it.

thanks bro, I’m aware that only content in cache show up in the library. Pretty annoying cause I just purchased an asset from Fab and now I can’t use it for my project

Exact same issue as above, I can see a very small selection of my marketplace content and the fab plugin does not exist for me in my library. I had a friend download the EGL and it showed immediately for them. I’ll use that plugin for now until there’s a fix. I have reinstalled EGL with no change other than having to reinstall the engine versions I use

sadly the FAB plugin dosnt show up for a LOT of people!

seems like some accounts are not communicating with the FAB servers correctly!

thats great since customer support is telling people to DELETE!!!

this didnt work for me, a new account was allowing me to see new assets purchased, but still no FAB plugin.

iv been dealing with this for the past 10 hours now!

So fed up with this FAB change. i know market place wasn’t perfect, but this is currently so much worse!
