BLOCKER - Big part of Fortnite.digest.verse automatically being removed

Everytime I open UEFN this is the Fortnite.digest.verse. Things I have tried to resolve this that did not work:

  • Clicking on rebuild and continue on the “Verse Build Errors Warning”
  • Reinstall UEFN
  • Verify & repair UEFN files
  • Replace the Fortnite.digest.verse when opening the Verse of the project in VSCode.
  • Replace the Fortnite.digest.verse in C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\VerseProject\FortniteGame\Fortnite

Errors caused because the digest isn’t complete:


What the Fortnite digest is being replaced by:
Fortnite.digest.verse (46.6 KB)

Verifying the files from both UEFN and Fortnite fixed it for me. Hopefully it doesn’t happen frequently.

How did you do that? I have the same problem, it just started happening right now.

Go to the Epic Games Launcher → Library → Find the programs → Click on the 3 dots → Manage → Verify files. Make sure to do it for both Fortnite and UEFN because only doing it for UEFN didn’t work for me.

The status of this incident has been moved from ‘Needs Triage’ to ‘Triaged’.

ah, thanks! I shut down and reopened UEFN and the problem solved for me…

You might have had this issue, not sure if they are similar or related because the things that were suggested as fixes didn’t work for me. This is the thread:

Seemed like the exact same problem for me

Got the same problem here! Everything throws an error after this and restarting VSCode doesn’t fix it

This is driving me absolutely nuts… Is this being looked at? Fixed? Having to restart UEFN almost hourly is untenable…

My solution is to manually copy paste the Fortnite.digest.verse, no need to hit save, the compiler would work right away :+1:

So glad to see this wasn’t just me… thx for confirming. :smile:

Right now just rebuilding my Verse code works but when I first got this, even replacing the Fortnite digest didn’t work. Not sure why that was the case.

I am getting this almost every 15 minutes now that I then need to close UEFN… I can’t be the only person who just can’t develop anything anymore due to having to close and open UEFN over and over… this is seriously a killer bug. How could this even happen???

You can also just do a Ctrl+Z in VSCode to go back, its a band aid but atleast you dont need to restart.

that doesn’t work for me at all. I appreciate the input though. It’s whenever you add a device to the scene, for some reason the Fortnite.digest.verse file is incommunicado at that point. Breaks verse coding for me and the only solution out of any of the solutions so far is a restart of UEFN, which is a real time killer… I’m starting to hate developing in this program.

Oh I do have the same issue myself, but I am pretty sure if you copypaste the Fortnite.digest.verse code from the link above, then when it changes the next time you are able to Ctrl+Z it back to where you had it before, although the file stays in an unsaved state. That is how I have solved it for now. Also did you try the verifying files through epic as user TheCreaitor suggested?

You’re saying to keep the Digest file open all the time and go into it and ctrl-z it kind of thing? I haven’t tried that. I tried replacing it in Explorer but that didn’t work. I did do the verifying thing, but as soon as I put a new device in the scene, it dies.

Yeah I have the Digest file open all the times, its only a tab anyway, I am in there reading very frequently since I pretty much only do coding for our project.

I tested pasting the full digest file (without hitting save) and it worked again, I’m not sure why it only works on my end though :thinking:
