Hi,
Does anyone have encounter this problem before, I’m unable to install or update any plugins from fab from the epic launcher. I’ve tried all I could find, including reinstalling everything but I’m still stuck and unable to install anything, the engine runs fine and plugin already installed are ok, but i can’t update any of them or install new ones
Plugins
Open epic launcher, install plugins …error code MD-0013 after “retry” error code II-E1003
Plugins should update or install
Error code and nothing is installing
Epic game launcher
Windows 11

Nice. I bet a lot of people don’t need access to all of their purchases during this very important time. Not like there’s a game jam or anything.

Yeah, same MD-0013 error message here when trying to install a plugin or update an existing plugin that is already installed.
Hope it’s fixed soon.
Same exact MD-0013 error on Mac via Epic Launcher when trying to update PaperZD plugin into the new Unreal Engine 5.6 version.

For those wondering latest launcher update causes that issue.
@SkyeEden , can you share to the team that the latest version causes a major issue on it, thanks.

Any way to install an older version? Still happening to me and it seems like a pretty big deal.
Do Not Update the launcher to Epic Games Launcher 18.11.0
