When I launch a session, I spawn in the water, I can’t move and stuck in first person. When I start the game, it does the same thing. It was working one minute. I closed and opened UEFN and Fortnite and then opened it back up, and now this is happening. Restarting UEFN, Fortnite, or PC does not fix the problem. How do I fix this? ![Screenshot 2023-10-18 163036](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/4/a/4/4a47c66f6f6f328c3e2db1c12b98eee871f946b0.jpeg) ---

My whole island and spawn pads are above the ocean. It’s a converted 1.0 map. I spawn 5,000 meters away from the island ---

Something has glitched, do you have maybe a barrier device that may have turned solid instead of hollow box or something, I do remember having a spawn inside of a barrier device and it throws you out of it on spawn. I’ve actually experienced not moving in first person from a teleporter destination accidently set inside a barrier wall, maybe getting jammed between 2 barrier devices or a large barrier could do the same thing. If theres nothing like that then the glitch could be in the spawnpads, in which case I’d delete them and redo. ---

What’s in the logs? You can filter output logs to only show errors. You can then search the error text in the forum to see if there is a solution or workaround to the problem or if anyone reported it already. ---
