This had been fixed in the past so PLEASE Epic notice this and fix it already I've been wanting to make progress on my island that I simply can't for more than 10 days I mean cmon I've been submitting this many many times and nobody does seem to acknowledge it, but some of us creator are 100% blocked. I. Can't. Work. on. My. Map. Anymore. I want. But I just can't. I've got ideas. I can't test them, apply them.

Anyway details on bug :
Memory is suddenly increased for a lot of islands, mine was around 75K and it suddenly went up to 100K or 99.999 or 99.997 K. Depending on the sessions. Yup it's random, which is a clear sign that it is bugged.
Second, after trying to delete stuff to make space, I was able to lower it to around 98K. I leave the game and next time I launch a server and go to my map, surprise it's back to 99.999.
Again, for people who might think it's not a bug and size of certain items was just increased. This is a clear sign that it's a bug.
Also I was able to place many pannels while on max memory. But when I had more space I noticed they took 100 memory each.
But when the memory is nearing 99.999K i become unable to move, resize, rotate or do anything to pannels other than changing the text and display.

Now, the pinball stuff. At one point, at 98K I wasn't even able to place down one. I had to lower my Island to 95K to be able to place ONE Pinball flipper. It took me 3K memory alone?
Two days later I'm at 99K and placing bumpers or flippers doesn't take up ANY memory at all.

Basically seems like the Island Memory is completely bugged. It's starting to get long having to wait 10 days to be able to do what I had in mind for my Island, not being able to update it.
It's not really nice for people that worked a lot on their island and have pretty heavy islands are just stucked in progression right now and noone gives a shit.

Appreciate the report, and I'm very sorry for the trouble! We're looking into it.

Just a note, that there are some reasons that your island's memory can change between our major releases. This is because of how Fortnite assets are optimized and also our memory algorithms change.

We have plans to stabilize this in the future, and to provide you guys with better tools for handling changes to your island caused by the ongoing evolution of Fortnite. Please bare with us! Thanks so much.
