Uefn games will not load/sit on preparing no matter the assets within the map itself. I tested this with just a normal grid island and it still happened. I believe this issue could be account related since it does not happen to everyone.
I’ve had this bug since early June and its still not fixed.
The map will load, after a long period of time. Though its too long to keep players wanting to play.
This bug causes creator to essentially not be able to publish maps since no one can play them.

Steps to Reproduce
Play a game from any one of these “broken accounts”.
A Broken Map: 8685-5137-7978
This code should cause the bug, though from my experience it tends to work here and there but majority of the time its broken.
Expected Result
Loading times over 5 minutes.
Observed Result
Map will load, after a long period of time. Though its too long to keep players wanting to play.
Almost always It’s when I try to launch one of my older maps, or when I’m playing obscure maps found through search keywords.
My theory is that there are ‘backwater servers’ that store your island when it is not actively played.
I’m usually in a situation where I’m trying to show someone an old map I made, and it’s a bit awkward to say “uhh… just sit tight this is normal… it will launch eventually…”
That Cant be it, No matter what i publish it takes to long to load… Why spend time making maps if no one can play them. Realistically no one is waiting 8 minutes to load in, id even say people wouldn’t wait 2 minutes without the downloading bar.
This stupid bug has be haunting me since June. I want to make games on FN but i literally cant.
I have contacted epic at least 4 times they don’t care the just tell me to make a forum and when I email them back i did they don’t respond. so useless.
Yep I feel this is the case, Maps that I havent touched in ages/know haven’t been played in ages take way too long in preparing, I assumed a similar thing to your theory happened,
