Same here. Or it works for a few seconds and disappears. UE 5.5, MVN Animate 2024.2.2 I’d like to point out that the same scene in 5.3 on the old plug-in worked fine. ---

Hi everyone, I also faced the same issue in Unreal Engine 5.4. However, the problem has been fixed with the new update released on 12-05-2025 (Unreal Engine 5.5.4). Please update your Unreal Engine to the latest version, and you should be able to use Live Link without any problems. ![Screenshot 2025-05-12 180811](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/1/7/1/171a85322104bc8ffccc3fbbd19489061aa25602.jpeg) ---

Looks like it’s a bug on the UE 5.5 side that is dropping the connection. A temporary solution has been found, I don’t know how correct it is: ![UE 5.5 live link Problem Fix](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/a/1/d/a1d3ea595258cb9a5ae672b86e3de60fc17981a9.png) ---

Update: this solution helps to keep the connection stable, but does not save from another problem: sometimes live link from Xsens is visible, sometimes not. And there is no apparent reason to understand under which conditions it works and sometimes it doesn’t( ---

I too am suffering from this issue. It’s so tempermental and there appears no pattern to what determines whether it is visible or not. Feels like it’s a roll of of the dice every time you open UE. ---

I have sort of solved this issue. The initial discovery is cooked, took me like 5 times closing and opening UE to get Xsens to appear in live link. Once it appeared though, If you save it as a preset, and load the preset when you want to connect. It will connect just fine.
