Deactivating islands in Fortnite Creative and UEFN gives you control over publishing, access, and visibility of your islands. This feature, accessible to Project Owners, Administrators, and Publishers, allows you to hide the island code, making it private while you refine your island. This feature offers flexibility and privacy until you choose to reactivate and publish your project again.

You can also directly publish a new island to a deactivated state to generate a code before the island goes live, enabling you to craft marketing materials ahead of publication.

The Fall Guys Beans are getting ready for their UEFN debut and will make their appearance in Summer 2024.

We’re looking into why players cannot emote within some LEGO Creator-made islands, and we’ll let you know when we have fixed this.

We're aware that UMG assets exported to the asset.digest In UEFN may cause issues. We will be disabling the UMG asset UI. We will let you know when we have more information or a fix.

We're aware of an issue in Fortnite Creative and UEFN where island settings may not be updating correctly. We will let you know when we have more information.

"If you collapse the emitter node (top left corner), and then click on the Thumbnail button, it captures a new thumbnail that should override the invalid data and allow validation"

The team is aware and working on a fix. Thanks again for the report!

Thank you for the report, I'll get it in front of the team and let you know if I hear anything.

The wonders of the moon, space travel, and science come together in the immersive reimagination of a future European Space Agency international lunar mission to the Moon’s south pole. As you collect resources to build the Hassell Lunar Habitat [https://www.hassellstudio.com/news-event/lunar-master-plan-hassell-and-european-space-agency-launch-pioneering-habitat-concept\], you can talk to astronauts and interact with Info Points in the 3D experience, built in UEFN.

The issue has been resolved.  UEFN will need to be restarted.  Private versions of a project that previously incorrectly failed the backwards compatibility check will still fail.  A new otherwise identical private version should succeed.

There’s a commonly used workflow for duplicating UEFN projects that may be causing unintended issues for projects that have persistence. This workflow involves copying the Plugins folder from one project to a second project, and then modifying the second project’s .uefnproject file.

The process results in a new module on the content service for the second project. When the second project is published, it will not be backwards compatible with the published version if that published version contains any persistent vars.

It is possible to publish if the second project is reverted to a version without persistence first. Reverting will result in clearing any existing persistence data. Furthermore, the game may crash the server when played. This is being treated as a bug and our teams will fix this, but we recommend avoiding this workflow.

We’re aware of an issue in UEFN islands where certain camera settings will cause a player’s screen to go black upon elimination. This issue occurs when a camera is removed from a player immediately after they have been eliminated.

Workaround: Creators should adjust the settings so the camera is not removed upon elimination.

This has been resolved. Please be aware you will need to update manually in the Epic Games Launcher if you do not have auto-updates active.

We’ve addressed an issue with default matchmaking settings for Competitive Race Tracks built in UEFN, significantly reducing matchmaking times and getting players on the track quicker. To benefit from these changes, competitive racing islands published prior to 4:30PM ET on March 25 will need to be republished.
