We’re investigating an issue causing Chapter 2 chests and ammo boxes to self-delete in live edit and play sessions in both Creative and UEFN. We'll update you once this is resolved.

We’re aware of an issue causing the Chainsaw Rush Attack to not function as intended. We are working on a fix that will be included in a future update.

The issue causing some UEFN projects to crash on opening was fixed with an update we released this morning. You can switch back to DirectX 12 by deleting the Command Line Argument and sliding the button to off.

Thank you, I dropped an s! Fixed.

Explore the new Verse Procedural Building example in the v32.00 update! This feature example showcases how complex systems can be written in Verse.

The maximum number of Analytics devices allowed on an island is increasing from 50 to 100. Additionally, a bug that caused inflated device counts in metrics has been resolved, so creators can expect accurate reporting moving forward.

Exciting changes are coming to Fortnite Creative with the introduction of the Chapter 5 Time of Day Manager (TODM)! This update brings enhanced lighting using Lumen and Nanite, giving new islands created in Creative a more realistic look. Plus, the new TODM will now match the UEFN version, bringing parity between Creative and UEFN lighting.

New islands will automatically use the new Chapter 5 TODM along with the Day Sequence device. For existing islands, you’ll need to opt in to switch to the new TODM. Note that opting in is a one-way conversion; once you’ve switched, there’s no reverting to the old TODM, so it’s important to back up your island beforehand. If you’re using Skydome devices, only their volume and location data will be retained during the process and will be converted to Day Sequence devices. To ensure a smooth transition, refer to the Day Sequence device documentation at ...

We made improvements in Discover to help more players find and connect with your islands:

- Dedicated Game Collections: Discover now features dedicated sections for popular game collections like LEGO®, Rocket Racing and Fall Guys, as well as for some of the most popular game genres. Players can now more easily explore islands in categories they love! Look out for more genres coming to this section in the future.
- Island Title Changes: Island titles now appear only when players hover, so a strong, eye-catching thumbnail that is representative of your island is more essential than ever to stand out.

Check out our thumbnail guidelines for tips: https://fn.gg/Thumbnail-Guidelines

We’re aware that Infinite Magazine Ammo and Infinite Loaded Energy are being automatically enabled for islands that previously had Infinite Reserve Ammo set to on.

These settings will be turned off in 32.10 for islands that haven’t already been opened and saved in 32.00

You can manually correct these settings by updating the Infinite Magazine Ammo, Infinite Charges, and Infinite Loaded Energy settings in Island Settings, Team Settings and Inventory Device, and Class Designer Device.

We appreciate your patience as we resolve this issue.

We've re-enabled Creative and Rocket Racing on Nintendo Switch, and service stability has been restored on all platforms.

Creator portal is also back online, and creators should now be able to build and publish experiences. Thank you for your patience while we resolved these issues.

We are aware of and investigating an issue with Creator Portal, causing many features to be blocked or unavailable.

We will follow with an update as soon as we have one.

The Orbit Camera gets an update, and the Third Person Controls, Fixed Angle Camera, and Fixed Point Camera are now out of beta.

New weapons include the Mythic Kaboom Bow, while the NPC and Guard Spawner now feature new Melee weapons such as the Basic Sword and Shockwave Hammer.

Also, be sure to check out the Skilled Interaction and Conversation devices to add narrative and role-playing mechanics, bringing your islands to life.

Looks like we've got some kinks to work out when it comes to using UEFN offline. We’ll get this sorted for future downtime, thank you for your patience!

Starting with v31.40, it’s now easier to stay productive during Fortnite downtime. While some features may be temporarily disabled, you’re now able to work on your island offline in UEFN. You can expect the editor to support continued project editing during maintenance. Although testing capabilities will be unavailable during downtime, they will resume once Fortnite servers are back online, so you can continue your progress during server maintenance.

Please note that occasional downtime across all products, including UEFN, may still be required for backend upgrades or other essential maintenance.

Hey there, this is was just old fashioned human error on our part. You should have received the correct confirmation email shortly after. If you didn't, please let us know. Sorry about the mix up!
