Having the same issue.

It seems the issue is incompatibility with plug ins. I can’t add Quixel (which I thought was due to the Fab conversion mid-Oct) but the Metahumans plug in won’t install either, even after reinstalling it. It gives an error that there are no compatible versions installed even though 5.5 is installed and it says it works with 5.5.

So now the option to create a Meta identity from a mesh isn’t there either because that relies on the Metahumans plug in to be installed and enabled. The only Metahumans plug in I can find in the plug in settings is Metahuman SDK which I enabled and still wasn’t able to import any Metahumans.

The other issue comes from attempting to download any Metahuman from the Quixel website. When you attempt to it gives an error saying that it can’t be used with UE4 and to download Quixel for UE5 and provides a link that redirects to the Fab support site

The Quixel Bridge and Metahuman plugins install and run fine for me in 5.5. My issue is that all Metahumans in Bridge are saying they are out of date (legacy) and can’t be downloaded/added

After some trial and error I was able to get the plug ins installed, and am now seeing the exact issue you are. The metahumans are greyed out, it says to update them in MHC but the MHC is still on 5.4 so there’s nothing to update it to. So now I suppose we wait until 5.5 of MH releases?

Hey both,

This should be working for you now - let us know if you have any further issues.

Cheers

I think this is down right now. I can’t download any 5.5 updated metahuman.

Err little help. I can’t see Quixel Bridge in Unreal 5.5 I only see “Open Marketplace” and “Fab”. How do you import Metahumans now?

Oh wait, no after searching the interwebs it’s a Plugin that needs to be installed through the Epic Games Launcher Library. Go down to Vault (or Fab Library) and Quixel Bridge should be there then you can install it to Unreal 5.5 Engine. They should really make Metahumans importable via Fab as I assume Quixel Bridge is now basically dead right…

There is no MetaHuman in my FAB library at all. Unless the only allow 5.5
