Still investigating the input device “released” events in fortnite creative **EDIT2: confirmed now that released event on input\_trigger\_device isnt firing in verse. the pressed event fires just fine** Also affects verse bound input events.

It would be nice to keep one creator report so we can track status. In-page search does not work (at least on mobile) so it is hard to check whether the same issue has already been logged. If duplicates are closed, there should be a link to previously logged creator report. This issue is more important for me I wanted to upvote it and I want other creators votes to be consolidated. ---

Just imagine having to deal with UE bugs, and on top of that having to deal with Fortnite bugs, while developing for Fortnite for free as an alpha tester for EPIC. 🤐 🤐 🤐 @Bug-Reporter I guess still not working for [bugs](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/epic-please-stop-breaking-slate-and-umg-in-new-releases/1179127) reported on Unreal Engine itself? ---
