General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

Since 33.30, players on our map have been reporting an issue where swapping to the Reaper Ballistic Sniper Rifle would cause client and/or server crashes, some players have started again from LVL 1 (having all their 1.0 persisted data erased, when fix btw?)

Here’s a video of the bug occuring :

The video doesn’t show the crash, but basically the server frozen and is about to crash, I trust our members (as you can see player is swapping weapons but nothing happens anymore)

Happened around 9.30am GMT on user 82dd4ef445e2432fa9f592cce707b294 on public code 0315-9684-1124

Also, the creator portal doesn’t seem to show any errors somehow (normal?)

Thanks for letting me know, but I’ll probably won’t test that soon since it only happened in public sessions and I didn’t find a way to repro it myself

I am also getting lot of reports of the server crashing. Yesterday I removed all ballistic weapons but the issue still remains. This is my map code: 6246-3089-1172.

So seems like a very critical issue but it seems unrelated to the ballistic weapons.

Clip from a player:

First the latency goes up and after some seconds the server will freeze and everyone will get kicked with reason "network connection lost ".

You need to remove them from their inventories too :eyes:

We don’t have issues anymore after doing so on 2 maps

I actually do remove them from the inventory. I’ve had before that people kept getting in to the old version of map if they do not restart their game so maybe it’s those who are still complaining.

Just remember that the Nintendo Switch can use older versions of Fortnite between players.
They don’t have to update just remind me later. My NS update is 33.30.1, but did not have to put the minor update.

This is why the standard NS needs on major updates. Delete the original and install the new version.
