Fortnite: Creative Dev Tracker

We are investigating an issue on UEFN and Fortnite Creative islands where using the default ChugJug may result in a crash. We will be disabling the default ChugJug while we work on a fix.

Thank you for your patience.

We're aware of an issue where VS code integration may give non impactful errors in the Verse digests. This should not affect your workflow. We are investigating and will let you know when we have more information or a fix.

With this update, players in your lobby will now download the content needed to play your UEFN experiences. This previously happened as the player connected to the server. Matchmaking will not start until all party members have downloaded the required content.

This release also includes the Seaport Prefabs and Galleries and new weapons, including the Outlaw Shotgun and the Lawless Trinity Assault Rifle.

Looking for some Verse Code Snippets? You’ll find Matrices, Graphs, and more.

To avoid confusion. That way if a player sees a car they know that if they can get to it, they can drive it.

We have issued a fix for the issue causing crashing when attempting to play UEFN islands on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Some players may still experience issues, and we are working on a full resolution in a future update.

The issue that was impacting aiming and movement when making small adjustments with some controller types and keyboard + mouse settings has been resolved. Thank you for your patience while we were working on a fix.

We’ve been experimenting with some changes to the row to give even more islands the chance to succeed, doubling the amount of islands shown in the row each cycle. What hasn’t changed is that each island shown still gets at least 50,000 impressions to find an audience before being rotated out of the row.

Top Rated and Most Engaging rows have also been tweaked to surface islands regionally to help connect players around the world with islands that resonate with their tastes. This doesn’t mean that the islands players see in these rows will be locked to local creators in their region; instead, the islands shown in these rows may vary based on regional interest in genres or types of experiences.

The results are promising so far, but we’ll continue to monitor these changes and make adjustments to improve Discover. Keep an eye out for more!

Thanks for reporting, we're working on a fix. https://trello.com/c/0A46xOE4/2692-performance-issues-on-xbox-controllers

We're aware of an issue preventing SoundWaves from playing in UEFN islands if their sample rate isn't set to: 48khz, 44.1khz 32khz, and 24khz.

We are working on a fix and will provide an update once we have more information. In the meantime, resampling your audio to the rates above will allow SoundWaves to play in UEFN islands.
