Steps to Reproduce
- Create a Creative 1.0 island.
- Place a Save Point device and configure it to save players’ weapons and scores.
- Set the island to have only ONE round with an unlimited game duration.
- Start the game and allow players to play normally.
- Wait approximately 30–40 minutes (the issue may take up to 50 minutes to occur).
- Have a new player join the island after this period.
- Check whether the player’s previously saved weapons and scores are loaded correctly.
- Observe the player’s spawn location and test whether the base restrictions are working correctly.
- Earn new scores or change weapons and check whether these changes are saved.
Expected Result
The Save Point device should continue working correctly throughout the entire game session, regardless of how long the match has been running.
Players joining the island should have their previously saved weapons and scores loaded correctly.
New scores, weapon changes, and other saved player data should continue to be saved throughout the match.
The spawn system and all gameplay restrictions should function correctly for both existing and newly joined players.
This functionality should remain consistent even on single-round islands with unlimited game duration.
Observed Result
After approximately 30–40 minutes of gameplay, the Save Point device completely stops functioning.
When a new player joins after this period:
- Their previously saved weapons and scores are not loaded.
- They spawn in the base, where the spawn system and certain gameplay restrictions appear to be inactive.
- They can build and shoot inside the base, even though these actions are normally restricted.
- If they leave the base and return, the building and shooting restrictions start working again.
It appears that the island does not properly initialize for newly joined players.
Additionally, once the Save Point device stops working, no new player data is saved. This includes newly earned scores and weapon changes.
The issue persists regardless of whether I use manual saving or timed saving.
Interestingly, the device starts functioning correctly again when the island transitions to the next round.
However, my island is designed to have only ONE round with an unlimited game duration, so using multiple rounds is not a suitable solution.

Additional Notes
I have extensive experience creating Fortnite Creative maps, and I am confident that my island settings and Save Point device configuration are correct.
I have already tried multiple solutions, including manual saving and timed saving, but none of them resolved the issue.
I would also like to clarify that I specifically use Creative 1.0 and do not intend to migrate this project to UEFN.
Unfortunately, UEFN-created islands are largely inaccessible to players in my country due to severe internet connectivity and networking issues. This is precisely why I created this island: to give players in my country an opportunity to enjoy a playable Fortnite Creative experience.
I kindly ask Epic Games not to overlook Creative 1.0. Not everyone has the ability to use UEFN, and Creative 1.0 is still extremely important to many creators and players.
This is my main project, and I am very passionate about publishing and sharing it with the community. This bug is currently preventing me from moving forward.
I would genuinely appreciate it if the development team could investigate this issue and provide a permanent fix, an alternative workaround, or a new saving device compatible with Creative 1.0.
Important: To reproduce this issue, please allow the island to run for approximately 30–40 minutes. In some cases, it may take up to 50 minutes.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
ISA
