Issues getting assets from FAB (Megascans)

Even though I have zero confidence that I will get any useful replies, I give it a try anyways.

And yes I’m aware there are similar topics around this issue, also without replies. Just sad-a$$ forum, really. (Maybe got u mad enough to write an answer yet)?

Anyways, after spending several hours following multiple “Get started” tutorials with Unreal Engine, it always fails at the step of getting “Free” assets from FAB or Quixelbridge.

A real shame getting new motivated users to fiddle around for hours in their free time, just to figure out this crap doesn’t work.

Any “free” asset fails to download. Tried multiple accounts, different settings for country, with / without vpn. Just a pure painful start.

Can someone please shine some light on this problem, and tell my why it’s not possible to get any megascan assets into my game to follow along a tutorial?

I would truly appreciate anyone taking 3 minutes of their time, after I have wasted 2 weekends trying to get anywhere.

Thank you!
