For anyone in the future - this worked for me. (I am not sure if it was a combination or the last thing I did)
Network and Sharing -> go to your adapter -> click properties -> turn of Ip-version 6.
Restart Comp and Launcher.
This did not work for me until I ran the launcher in Administrator mode.
If you don’t know how to run it in admin mode; right-click launcher icon in taskbar->righclick ‘epic games launcher’->select ‘run as administrator’.
If not in taskbask - just rightclick the icon and select ‘run as administrator’
I have run it as admin before but it still had the asset pack as unavailable - hence my statement that it ‘might’ be a combination of these.
Hope this helps.
Another year later on the same post. I found myself in this thread because I had the same problem. Ended up being very simple to fix. I had items in my checkout cart. Once I removed them or checked out so the cart was empty, the download links returned.
As others have said, I’m leaving this here as this is the thread that comes up first when searching for solutions to this problem.
had the same issue. the marketplace Content Examples project was listed as “unvailable”. tried administrator privileges, checking the vault cache location, and disabling ipv6 on my network adapter to no avail.
what eventually worked was going to the metahuman project and “buying” it for free. I could then create a new metahuman project, and when I went back to the content examples project it also had the proper create project button now. I suspect this means there’s still a bug with the cart years later.
Thank you for this. I had this exact same problem. Content Examples was listed as “unavailable”, but when I “bought” the Metahuman project, I could download the Content Examples project.
This is happening to me CONSTANTLY !
I’ve bought assets and instantly it says Its unavailable,
The Epic launcher is SO slow to respond to anything! Switch to Library or Store tab and I have to wait 60 seonds and then sometimes it freezes totally and I have to use Task Manager to quit the program.
Also when you are searching for a product, it searches for every word you type I type ‘Easy Building System’ but it types out like ‘Esy ulid tm’
I would appricate a way to download my purchases via the EpicGames website (not just be redirected to the engine which still says ’ unavailable’
I’ve just totally reinstalled windows everything is completely fresh and it STILL says Unavailable !
Another thing that is slowing down the Launchers interface is that I’ve taken all the free plugins in my list and on the Engine Menu you can see each Icon loading one by one. I would delete them all and remove them from my account but … theres no option to do that.
I really wish the Unreal Engine was seperate from the EpicLauncher
I had the same issue, so when I updated my version of Unreal Engine, it worked. Doesn’t have to be with the latest version, but that might help if this way doesn’t
Go to your Epic Game Launcher App
Go to your Library from the Unreal Engine tab on the right-hand side column
Unreal Engine tab > Library > Engine Versions
Update your version, check which version the game/ plugin/ marketplace DLC is accepting
Once it’s done, it should go from Unavailable to Download and should work now
If anyone else runs into this issue, a workaround I found was to log into the marketplace from my browser, navigate to the asset I purchased, then click, “open in launcher.” This then got the launcher to flip from unavailable to, “add to project.”
