Quixel Bridge says that im offline, why?

Hi, I have problems with the Quixel Bridge plugin, when I go to the “Place Actors” in UE5.2 and UE5.3 and press Quixel Bridge, the pop-up window tells me that I am not connect and I can browse assets locally. How to resolve this problem please?

Same problem here, did you find a fix?

I have the same problem. The quixel bridge program runs but not the actual plugin in UE 5.3. If I use the login button, then opens a window with a failure:

Failed to load URL https://www.epicgames.com/id/login?client_id=b9101103b8814baa9bb4e79e5eb107d0&response_type=code with error ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED (-138).

I had deletd the plugin and reinstalled, the same problem.

What can I do?

I wrote to the support for help to root the problem - it was Eset NOD32. Here is how to fix it:

We were able to root out the issue to the ESET NOD32 Anti-Virus. After it’s most recent update, it seems to be blocking the Bridge Plugin within UE5 from communicating with our servers.

We have sourced the following workarounds for you to try:

1) Uninstall the Anti-Virus entirely. (This ensures that the issue will not come up again)

2) Follow the steps below:

  • Navigate into Setup > Advanced Setup > Detection Engine.
  • Select Network Traffic Scanner and Disable it.
  • You should now be able to run Bridge within UE5 successfully.
    Hope that will help someone!
