Issues & Bug Reporting (Fab)

Summary

It’s 2025 and Linux users (and probably Mac users, too) still don’t have any official way to download their bought Plugins, because it’s gated behind a Windows only launcher.

Every engine update is a major pita because we have to either download the updated plugins in a virtual machine, or use 3rd party tools and cross fingers that they aren’t broken.

If you sell plugins to Linux users, they should be able to download them.
