Firewall is off. Network filter off too. QUixel bridge 5.2 worked fine with Unreal engine 5.3. I updated and quixel bridge 5.3 turns black. Can you please let me know how to roll back to quixel bridge 5.2 in Unreal engine 5.3? Thank you.

Same issue - Ventura 13.6 Unreal Engine Version: 5.3.1 UE5+Release-5.3 - would love to be able to bridge in some assets like the Metahuman mesh I created. Is anyone monitoring this from the company??

Same Issue here…

Seems that Unreal is not really meant for MacOS users.

Everything is available for PC users without any issues but only some of them are compatible with a Mac and I doubt that even those function properly.

The Metahumans plugin is STILL unavailable for Mac… there is no support for Mac in general

Same here… did U solve this problem?? I couldn’t do anything… haha…

Same here on a MacPro 2012/128GB/RX6800XT/2x3.33GHZ Xeon/Monterey 12.6.8
Worked perfectly in the previous version UE5.2.
Works well on my Windows partition same hardware.
Any help is much appreciated.

Same problem. Quixel with 5.3 works on Mac Studio but not on MacBook Pro 2019. I am doing a class with my students and can someone from the Epic Games help us?

Hi Epic, this ticket was opened 29d ago, this should be a Sev1, as workin without the bridge is literally impossible. Could you please give this one the love it needs and provide a fix for this in due course? Thanks from all your Mac users.
