hi! im playing on the Xbox One, (not sure which specifically, it came with dark vertex)

i can get into creative just fine, no fill. but when my controller turns off / i turn it off, it shows the fortnite screen, and press a to start.

once i turn on my controller and press a, im still in creative. have they got rid of the creative xp? or what’s going on?

We got a major problem. This applies to Console. When controller turns off... The game will take you back to the Title Screen. Which starting up will have your character missing.

Workaround to fix the Character Missing: Start the game like normal. If character is missing. Selecting Game Mode will do the fix.

Reproduce: Turn off Controller on PS4/Xbox One in Lobby or any mode.

Thanks for the tag, u/stasharena16.

We'll look into the reports in this thread. Is this happening to you in Creative only or in Creative plus other game modes?

for me, this occurs any time i turn off my controller in fortnite. the first time i noticed it, though, was during creative mode.

i could also record a clip of the glitch in action, if needed.

Thanks for the info, u/lettersfromcats. I'll speak with the team about this. Next time the issue happens to you, feel free to share a clip with us!

Thank you so much for the reply u/M_House_Epic. You’re the best! Seriously. <3

Anyways. This is in all modes. Even when you are in the Lobby. (Not even joking. Lobby too.)

I first encountered it when i turned off my controller to step out of the room for a second. Only for me to froze right as i turned off my controller. I saw the Title Screen. Showing “FORTNITE” “PRESS BUTTON TO START” (Eg: PS4 starts with X Button)

So yeah. Hopefully this can be solved soon.

Also. There’s a bug where turning off Voice Chat on PS4 will sometimes crash the game. Sending the player to Sony’s Report Application Tabs. Not sure if this is affecting other platforms as we speak.

And of course the Loading Bug. But since 14.50. I havent encountered it yet. But if i do. Ill let you guys know. :)

This is helpful info. Thank you!
