Metahuman UE5 upgrade warning not going away

Hey, I have 8 metahumans that I had from UE4 in an existing project, and with the latest update I tried importing a new metahuman using the in-engine plugin and got the alert saying how UE4 and UE5 metahumans dont mix. So I went through, downloaded the new versions for all my existing metahumans, copied them over to my project folder and overwrote the files.

I assumed that once I updated them all the alert would go away, but I'm still getting the alert and being told to manually copy over the folders when trying to import a new UE5 metahuman. Do I need to delete the folders instead of just copying them over? Am I doing something wrong?

As far as I can tell my metahumans are working fine, its really just more of a nuisance because I can't use the bridge plugin to import new metahumans and I have to copy the folders instead.

Thanks!

Hi LostHarbinger42, thanks for posting!

For Unreal Engine 5, go to the Quixel Bridge plugin inside the editor and log in using your Epic Games account. In the left navigation panel, go to MetaHumans. From here, you can download pre-made characters from the MetaHuman Presets view or a MetaHuman that you created from My MetaHumans view.

Please note: Re-adding or overwriting an existing character in project is not supported. You may attempt to manually place it in the project folder.

Please do not attempt to import UE4 characters in a project containing UE5 MetaHumans as it may result in unexpected issues.

Looking forward to your update!
