Fortnite: Creative Dev Tracker

Issue Resolution Details for current release (v29.00):

Backwards compatibility enforcement in UEFN has been disabled. This fix will require you to restart UEFN.

A fix has been pushed to Creator Portal. Backwards compatibility checks will still be run as part of the Creator Portal publishing workflow. Backwards compatibility issues detected during this workflow will prevent you from publicly releasing incompatible changes.

This issue will be fully resolved in the next release. The fix is already in place that fixes the underlying backwards compatibility validation issue in UEFN. Once the next release is live, backwards compatibility enforcement in UEFN will resume.

The 29.00 release contains support for Verse Persistence. Part of this feature requires changes to persistent weak_maps in Verse to be backwards compatible. More information about this requirement is available in the Verse Persistence documentation. We have identified a bad interaction between backwards compatibility enforcement and asset reflection in UEFN and Creator Portal. We are actively working to fix the issue.

This issue occurs if your Verse code defines modules that are defined using a name that is also used by asset reflection and your Verse code makes use of persistence. Backwards compatibility enf...

Hey everyone UEFN matchmaking is back online!

Creators pushing changes in UEFN might see failures due to an issue that arose while fixing matchmaking. We're in the process of resolving this now.

We're aware that some players may be unable to matchmake in Fortnite at the moment, and the team is investigating.

We'll provide an update when we have one.

We have fixed an issue where ranked animation and UI were displaying when newly generated codes were selected via the Discovery search bar. Creators may still need to republish their islands if the ranked animation and UI are still displaying.

We’ve resolved an issue that caused some islands to update with the default description. However, affected islands may need to publish a new update to restore their preferred description.

We are investigating an issue affecting UEFN Islands where interactions using Control Rigs and/or Cinematic Sequencer may not work. As a workaround, you can exit to the lobby and rejoin the island. We will let you know when we have more information.

We're aware of an issue with the Orbit Camera when it is placed on an island and the island is converted to a UEFN project. As a workaround, you can place the camera again in the UEFN project. We will let you know when we have more information about a fix.

We have two new devices coming your way. The Orbit Camera device, which is in Early Access, attaches to the player’s character and the camera can be freely rotated. Be sure to check out all of the options and give us your feedback!

You’ll also find the new Post Process device, which allows creators to play and control post-process effects that affect the player’s camera.

We have new moddable weapons, prefabs & galleries, and consumables. Also, don’t miss the new tutorials for making cinematics and cutscenes in UEFN.
