We have fixed the issue where parties were unable to queue into some Creative matchmaking islands if their party size exceeded the island's max player size.

We have fixed the issue where ziplines did not have an instant interact time when being used by players.

We’ve released a maintenance patch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Android to address stability.

You will be able to download the patch before launching your game.

That feels so satisfying just watching it! You made all this? It's awesome! The most satisfying hand-to-hand combat has to go to the Batman game series for sure!

Thanks to the community's feedback when asked previously, the team is working hard at bringing weapons / items over where we can! Thank you for sharing your feedback.

This is wildly impressive! Major props on making this happen. Looks amazing!

Hi all, We’re happy to report that the Accolade Device is now available in UEFN. You can now design unique gameplay loops and take control of how your players earn XP, encouraging them to return to your island.

If you’re used to the Fortnite Creative toolset, you may already be familiar with the Accolade device. Now, the same feature set is available within UEFN.

With the release of 26.00, the ability to expose assets from UEFN to Verse is enabled by default for all newly created UEFN projects. For any of your projects created before 26.00, you will need to enable this feature by following these steps:

1. Close your project in UEFN.
2. Locate the .uplugin file in the project directory.
3. Open the .uplugin file in a text editor.
4. Find the property EnableVerseAssetReflection and set it to true.
5. If no such property is present, add the following line under VersePath:
   a. “EnableVerseAssetReflection” : true,
6. Save the .uplugin file.
7. Re-open your project in UEFN.

We have resolved the issue where Mutator Zones, Skydive Volumes, and Damage Volumes were not working as intended in Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands.

We have deployed an update that resolves the issue with interaction devices.

Creators will need re-save their devices in their project level and republish for the fix to take effect.

We are aware ziplines do not have an instant interact time when players use them in UEFN islands. We are working on a fix and we will let you know when we have an update.

We are aware of an issue where interaction devices stop functioning in UEFN islands when a player joins a game in progress.

We are working on a fix and we will let you know when we have an update.

To anyone experiencing the issue where parties are unable to queue into some Creative matchmaking islands if their party size exceeds the island's max player size.
We’ve had some reports of success with the following workaround:
> Go into your Island Settings
> Set Team Size To “Dynamic:
> Go to Team Settings and Inventory Device
> Set the Max Team Size to your desired number
Please note, this is a temporary workaround until a fix is deployed and may cause issues in your game depending on how you’ve built it. We recommend testing your map prior to publishing.

We're aware of an issue where Mutator Zones, Skydive Volumes and Damage Volumes may not work as intended. We are working on a fix, and we will let you know when we have an update.
