Same issue with my completed map. Everything loaded fine the remix hit now, 58 load errors every time I clean up my files it runs and loads. Once I close and re-open UEFN same issue!

exactly the same for me . when will they fix it ? can’t be since hundreds of hours of work were in vain

Same issues here. Mostly related to Fortnite Niagara. Here are a few.

my quick anecdotal update for the community readers:

I continued with starting to re-learn UEFN over the weekend; My greybox level got up to 56 missing items. Nothing but the blank level, a single greybox (duped a bunch of times), 2 more spawners,2 triggers, 2 mutators, and a skill device. :person_shrugging:

Anyway, as a test today: I started a new blank project and can confirm the blank island template now “only” has 12 missing items… so despite the silence, hopefully someone at Epic is tying up some loose ends :heart:

Still, it’s odd their build tool isn’t throwing errors re broken links. Makes you wonder how many other build-alerts are currently muted.

Also experiencing this. It isn’t affecting opening any of my projects nor has it had any negative impacts- yet. Errors are always regarding the default Fortnite content (not any content I’ve imported), and occurs as soon as UEFN is first loaded, with no project opened yet. I seem to get 3 errors consistently in this situation: 2 related to Fortnite Niagara (though the exact packages skipped differ from the examples above), and 1 from /Game/Sounds/Fort_UI_Sounds.

And upon opening a brand new, blank UEFN project, I get 12 errors, 10 of which are also Niagara related and the other 2 are involving /Game/Effects/MudInteraction. Specifically:

Thanks for this concise information! This seems like a pretty spot-on elaboration of what is happening.

How often does UEFN team push minor patches?

Thanks everyone for your inputs and confirmations so far <3
If we find new broken links, plz feel free to add.
(let’s keep this report to discussing the broken links on engine startup and new project)

Fixed today, no more Niagara errors on startup.
Plz close
