Missing Quixel Bridge add on in new UE5

Development Pipeline & Plugins
21

Merged a similar thread with this one. :slight_smile:

Hi everyone. Close UE5 and go to the Bridge plug-in in through your Library or Marketplace and do a fresh install of Bridge for 5.0.
I then reopened and saw the Bridge link from the + icon where it used to be.
I figured Bridge would just be built into all installs of UE moving forward.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I cannot find the plugin for UE5.0 in the marketplace. Can you confirm the plugin in Quixel Bridge itself? I see UE 7.5 version

There is no plugin to setup in Vault, Library and in Marketplace. :frowning:
Launcher latest version - 14.02.19620145
UE5 engine was instaled today for the first time, so maybe this is a problem?
Maybe plugin isn’t shipped by default in release version?

That is the launcher version I have as well

We are looking into this further, and QA has been able to reproduce it. Appears to be a couple of issues presenting themselves.

For existing users, (for good measure might be good to restart that PC this week :wink: ) make sure your launcher is up to date; if you have it in your vault, attempt installation from the vault (it should bring up an Engine version prompt).

However, if you are a new user, the problem is deeper, but the team is currently investigating this further.

As soon as this has been fully identified and we have more information I will update :slight_smile:

I can’t tell if I overlooked Quixel Bridge in my vault (I don’t recall ever adding it)… but after restarting my PC, reviewing your post… Quixel was there in my vault. Selected 5.0 and it’s now in engine.

I had to find the Bridge plugin in my library (vault), and from there install it to Engine 5.0.

Now it’s working.

The team has identified the larger problem and is currently pushing a solution to stop the problem from happening to more people. However, the solution to update those already affected is a somewhat manual one and could take up to 24hours.

Thanks!

Right on! Kudos to the team for not only identifying but pushing a fix so quickly!

Really looking forwards to an update on this! I feel like it won’t be right jumping into UE5 without the proper Quixel support.

Same problem, no plugin not in vault restarted pc, also links to quixel bridge bring a 404 not found page. Downloaded UE5 earlier today

I have installed UE5 and set it to Current.

Quixel Bridge will not appear in my vault to download/install.

Needless to say, I am not able to enable the plugin inside UE5.

Any tips?

Same here, I am on Mac though so I don’t if that has to duo anything with this.

same here. no quixel panel inside and marketplace doesn’t work too.

I found a workaround for now until the button comes back. I opened a fresh 4.27 project and enabled Bridge on that project. Once Bridge uploaded to the 4.27 project I migrated the content to my 5.0 project. Not clean but it worked

Hi all, had the same issue and I fixed by uninstalling UE5.0 as well as the Epic Launcher and Epic Online Services, then reinstalled everything and that fixed it. Maybe not all those steps are necessary, but that’s what worked for me. I had a project from Preview 2 and was having other issues with it and those issues are now resolved as well. Cheers! Hope that helps. Might just be that they updated something. I noticed that Bridge installed as a plugin after the most recent install and for whatever reason that didn’t happen before.

Hey everyone, I responded in similar threads not realizing this one existed:

Brand new UE5 install, Quixel Bridge is missing. 10 mins into first ever tutorial. 1 hour trying to work out the bridge missing bit. Will come back tomorrow.
