There was an update in this topic: https://forum.reallusion.com/542572/Unreal-Live-Link-for-Unreal-53-Answers-are-OWED
It looks like it it's no longer accessible. Basically, the plugin works good with 5.1, has problems with 5.2, and they are currently working on a 5.3 update but it's not clear when it will release.

Hello

Thanks for the information, but I do not understand why it takes so long to update this.
Here we are not talking about a free 3d software, we pay ( a lot ) to a have a product that is supposed to be compatible with most famous 3d render tool.
Unreal engine 3.5 was practically available for 2 month ( if you take the RC) many users already move to 5.3 but in the reallusion side nothing is moving .

UE5.3 has changed a lot , Meta Human update a.s.o.
So give RL the time to do all BP changes.
I've heard a rumor it will be available in 2-3 weeks , so be patient 😁

Better a good working plugin than a plugin full of issues..... 🤪

But there is no update on UE5 dummies... export animation from IC8 to MetaHuman UE5.3 have an IK mismatch error warnings and the results is kinda weird looking character :(
updt:
due to mentioned warnings, dummies fbx export works. (the issue was the changed skeleton body match)

Yes , UE5 Metahuman Kit has been updated to work with the latest LL plugin but the skeletons have not been updated. The UE_Profile and Dummies are still from old skeletons ( the ones without corrective bones for hands.)
I'm still having issues with animating hands/fingers, plus the shoulders are bad too since retargeted meshes don't have a good T-pose.
