With the release of v26.00, the warnings you receive when you fail to compile a material will now be considered errors. This means the author of the material will now need to correct the issue(s) before publishing.

Previously, when publishing an island, these materials would silently fail. (On mobile, the materials would show up as a checkerboard pattern. Islands that are already published will continue showing this pattern on mobile, until the materials are fixed.) Going forward, these warnings will not be silent and the island will fail to publish until the materials are corrected.

Players and creators,

We’re aware of an issue where parties are unable to queue into some Creative matchmaking islands if their party size exceeds the island’s max player size. As a workaround, the party leader can load the island alone and then have other players join.

We’re working to resolve the issue and will post an update when we have more information.

Hey all!

In the v26.00 release, we’ve introduced a new “Max Used” bar on the memory thermometer located at the top of your screen in Create mode. Now, no matter where you are on the island when you place a device, the Max Used bar will show the effects of adding that newly placed device. We’ve also added some new weapons, Prefabs, and Galleries!Click the links below for more information:

Hello all!

You may have noticed a few changes in the latest update to the Creator Portal; let’s take a look.

New:

• Team Members who do not have a Creator Code may now publish projects where the team owner has a Creator Code. Once the owner grants the “Publish” role to the member, they can publish projects.
• Creators are now able to sort projects by the highest CCU in their project view on the Creator Portal.

Fixed:

• Searching for projects no longer incorrectly displays the project by the name it had when created.

Physics Simulation and a number of other properties were accidentally added to UEFN in the last update. We ask that you remove it from your islands as we will be releasing a hotfix soon to remove it.

We're aware of an issue with Spawn Limit settings in Creative and UEFN.  If the setting is set to 1, players will still respawn multiple times. We are checking into it and let you know when we have more information. (edited)
