One currently use UE 4.25 but the asset marketplace pack I want to download is for 4.24 is their a way to download a asset pack with just materials and meshes to a newer version of UE with out having to download an entire older version of UE because that would be a waste of time just to open up some meshes and materials

Even though it’s for 4.24 you can install it in 4.25

Yes you can download it, but how do you obtain the assets without downloading a previous version. I can’t add it to my project because I don’t have the version required. The “solution” given was not a solution.

This does look like a terrible design flaw, I use the Github Engine and have a project but can’t download a marketplace asset or add in to project, the Epic Launcher doesn’t know about a Github engine or my project

I had this problem as well, so this is my workaround.

  1. Create a file named Test.uproject (change EngineAssociation as desired).

    {
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"EngineAssociation": "5.2",
	"Category": "",
	"Description": ""
}

  2. Close and re-open the “Library” tab in the Epic Games Launcher.

  3. The project should now magically be added to “My Projects”. If you see that the version is different from the uproject, just rename the file to something different and redo step 2.

  4. Now you should be able to download and add the content to the project.
