Hi @r3sonant, I tried loading UE 5.0.3 on a new laptop.
I have used Windows 10 and Windows 11.
I have my UK Epic Launcher account linked to the GitHub source.
Firstly I loaded a new latest version of Epic Games Launcher. Then I started to “Install” from the top of the page.
In the picture above Quixel Bridge is Queued to load after the main body is loaded and checked. This applies to the “Verify” function as well.
In the above picture Quixel Bridge has been installed and Clean up started, its so quick that nearly missed screen dump
In this picture I clicked “Install Plugins” and instantly got the screen above.
I went to launch 5.0.3 from the launcher and got the message.
Which I clicked Fix
Because this is a new PC the Launcher offered to download and install Net Framework 3.5.
I made a Blank Project and in Plugins was Bridge was already enabled.
