Summary
Hi,
As I understand it, the Epic Games Launcher still checks the Unreal Engine Marketplace product versions when installing plugins to the engine.
I just updated my plugin, and it’s approved on FAB, so it’s available for UE5.5. However, when I try to install it to the engine using the EGL, I get an error. I can’t update the Unreal Engine Marketplace page because there’s no “Add Version” section for plugins. How can I fix this issue?
What type of bug are you experiencing?
Plugins
URL where the bug was encountered
Online Material Library Plugin - 1500 Materials
Steps to Reproduce
Check plugin UE versions, UE5.4 and UE5.5
I updated my plugin for UE5.5, and it’s been approved on FAB. However, when I try to install it through the Epic Games Launcher, I receive an error message: “Can’t find suitable Engine Version.”
On the Epic Games Launcher, my plugin is still listed as compatible only with UE 5.4. I checked my other products and noticed that the Epic Games Launcher retrieves version metadata from the Unreal Engine Marketplace product page.
The problem is, I can’t add a new version to the Marketplace page because the “Add New Version” button was removed after FAB launched.
Expected Result
I should install my plugin to the engine
Observed Result
I can’t install the plugin through the Epic Games Launcher, and I can’t install it manually either. When I try to download it manually from FAB, it redirects me to the Epic Games Launcher Vault.

Additional Notes
Please fix this as soon as possible, because the product is live, and when people download it, they expect to use it. This issue negatively impacts the user experience and the plugin’s reputation.
