Quixel Bridge not showing up?
Completed
e Hey! So I downloaded Unreal Engine 5 yesterday and I couldn't find the Quixel Plugin. Its not in the plugin section of Unreal and not in that quick drop down menu next to the marketplace. Its just the market. Is there something else I have to download to make it work? I have the quixel plugin already installed and i updated to the latest version. Anything I am missing?

Nvm, I got the solution here:

Doesn't work for me.
I only have UE5EA installed and I have no Bridge plugin, because I had to remove.
There's a bug with not having web browser/web auth plugins enabled and then you can't create or open projects.
So currently there's no Bridge plugin in my vault to install and there's no plugin available to enable
Also, there's no Bridge plugin to download from epics -

Try this link Hajime: https://cdn.quixel.com/quixel/bridge/public/Bridge.zip
Extract the contents of the *.ZIP to replace any files in your Engine/Plugins directory located within UE_5.0EA. -
Just to let you know.. yesterday I uninstalled the UE5 preview version before the installation of the final release. After that the Bridge plugin was completely missing!
On my notebook however I did only an upgrade from the preview to the final release and there the Bridge plugin is still available. Issue seems to be solved after copying the plugin folder to my desktop PC.

Please follow the steps below after you've installed/updated UE 5 released on April 5th and let us know if the issue persists:
1. Close Unreal Engine, if already running. (You can not install/update the plugin if the Engine is running in the background).
2. Log out from Epic Games launcher.
2. Run Epic Games Launcher, go to the Unreal Engine Library, and search for the plugin in the vault.
3. Click "Install to Engine". This will open up a new window and you'll get the option to install/update the plugin.
4. Once updated, launch Unreal Engine 5 and you'll now have the latest plugin incorporated. -

Marq SpaghettiCowboy I got it to work by following the steps mentioned here at the bottom:
https://help.quixel.com/hc/en-us/requests/101163
Since the zip file mentioned in this thread didn't work for me, its either a newer version of the plugin, or the fact that the engine has to be started with adminstrator priviliges, for the manual install to work.

Link doesn't seem to be working. I just uninstalled both Epic Louncher and Unreal 5 , and re-install them, with the same result.

Hello,
Following are the steps to install the plugin manually (only for Windows) and the link at the bottom points towards the zip file mentioned in the steps.
1) Make sure that Unreal Engine 5 is not running.
2) Launch the Epic Games Launcher and navigate to the Library tab.
3) Under the Unreal Engine 5 tab, click on Installed Plugins and REMOVE the Quixel Bridge Plugin, if visible.
4) Now, download and unzip the file attached with this email titled "UE5Plugin".
5) Navigate to the directory where your Unreal Engine 5 is installed.
6) Now head into the [Path to Engine Directory]\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins directory and place the extracted folder. Please place the folder titled "Bridge" not the zip file itself.
7) Launch UE5 as an administrator and open up Bridge.https://quixel.zendesk.com/attachments/token/vEMGLyNpPfAtvrA9vYbPuhYyw/?name=UE5Plugin.zip

Hello anibalin
Bridge on macOS requires the "Web Browser" and "Web Authentication" plugins to be enabled within the UE5 editor to function as intended. You can enable these plugins by navigating to Edit > Plugins and searching for them.
Once enabled, please ensure to restart your computer and then launch UE5 with administrative privileges.
