Create Project doesn’t work for item purchased from FAB.
But Create Project works for item purchased from Marketplace earlier.
EpicGames Launcher reinstall didn’t help.
UnrealEngine reinstall didn’t help.
What type of bug are you experiencing?
Purchasing, Project Creation
URL where the bug was encountered
Steps to Reproduce
Buy mentioned product from FAB that requires a creation of a new project
Refresh Fab Library in Epic Games Launcher
Click create project
Expected Result
Package downloaded and project created as for Marketplace items
I am having exactly the same issue. On 2 other products. If you go to Settings > Show Logs in your Epic Launcher, you will find EpicLauncher log file. If you examine that file you’ll see entries about Download manifest missing.
It appears that many assets fail to download due to the server related issue, either the manifests failed to port over to FAB, or there’s a bug somewhere on the server side.
I encountered a similar error when I tried to create a project using this plugin in version 5.4. However, when I set the project creation version to 4.27, I was able to create the project successfully. As a temporary workaround, I recommend creating the project in a version that works and then switching the Unreal Engine version afterward. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved soon.
Solution found. It might be all Mac users who can’t download any FAB Unreal Engine assets. Why? Because ALL of the UE assets download manifest on FAB only list platform of [“Windows”]. Epic Game launcher requests mac as platform that leads to a 404.
SOLUTION:
Create scripting overwrite using a tool like Proxyman. Here’s what I had to do to fix this, simply overwrite the initial manifest request platform to mac, now magically everything works.
