This is now fixed and the UEFN Rocket Racing tracks matchmaking flow should work as intended.

The wonders of the moon, space travel, and science come together in the immersive reimagination of a future European Space Agency international lunar mission to the Moon’s south pole. As you collect resources to build the Hassell Lunar Habitat [https://www.hassellstudio.com/news-event/lunar-master-plan-hassell-and-european-space-agency-launch-pioneering-habitat-concept\], you can talk to astronauts and interact with Info Points in the 3D experience, built in UEFN.

In this blog, you’ll learn about how Sequencer was used, how Verse was implemented for gameplay and the c...

The issue has been resolved.  UEFN will need to be restarted.  Private versions of a project that previously incorrectly failed the backwards compatibility check will still fail.  A new otherwise identical private version should succeed.

We're investigating an issue where Rocket Racing tracks made in UEFN are finishing matchmaking before other players have joined.

We will provide another update once this issue is resolved.

We’re investigating an issue that is preventing some islands with Verse Persistable data from being published due to reported issues with backward compatibility. Thank you for your patience.

This release updates the Patchwork tool and Instrument Player, and you’ll have new ways to customize the Grind Rail and Grind Vine devices. You can also explore new Prefabs and Galleries.

A new update to Discover search has also arrived, and you can now search by Creator Names.

There’s a commonly used workflow for duplicating UEFN projects that may be causing unintended issues for projects that have persistence. This workflow involves copying the Plugins folder from one project to a second project, and then modifying the second project’s .uefnproject file.

The process results in a new module on the content service for the second project. When the second project is published, it will not be backwards compatible with the published version if that published version contains any persistent vars.

It is possible to publish if the second project is reverted to a version without persistence first. Reverting will result in clearing any existing persistence data. Furthermore, the game may crash the server when played. This is being treated as a bug and our teams will fix this, but we recommend avoiding this workflow.

We’re aware of an issue in UEFN islands where certain camera settings will cause a player’s screen to go black upon elimination. This issue occurs when a camera is removed from a player immediately after they have been eliminated.

Workaround: Creators should adjust the settings so the camera is not removed upon elimination.

This has been resolved. Please be aware you will need to update manually in the Epic Games Launcher if you do not have auto-updates active.

We’ve addressed an issue with default matchmaking settings for Competitive Race Tracks built in UEFN, significantly reducing matchmaking times and getting players on the track quicker. To benefit from these changes, competitive racing islands published prior to 4:30PM ET on March 25 will need to be republished.

There is a known issue where attempting to publish your project may result in validation errors in the editor related to VerseDevices. This has been fixed in an upcoming release. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround at this time.

In this release, you’ll be able to view diagnostics of Verse runtime errors that occur when you or your players are running your experiences. Check out the new Verse tab on the Content Service portal which shows the Verse runtime errors that were encountered across all of your projects.

We also have updates to the Visual Studio Code (VSC) Verse Extension, We have added more buttons in VSC for you to communicate with UEFN.

Also new, you can now expose Niagara VFX assets to your code and spawn these particle systems in Verse.

The Harbinger SMG comes in as a new weapon and Shield Bubble Jr. makes its way in as a new consumable.

This issue has been resolved and new UEFN installations should now open and work properly.
