Creative "earn XP" missions don't update live/in real time when tracked, during gameplay in creative island maps. Problem has been persistent since before and after the start of Chapter 5 Season 1.

Summary

When playing in Fortnite creative islands, missions such as the “Daily Discovery” missions will not show progress or mission competition in real time during a game. They only update out of game, back on the main menu/lobby. This has been present across several seasons now, preventing players from accurately monitoring mission progress in game.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select “Daily Discovery” quest in Fortnite main lobby. i.e “earn 20,000/40,000/60,000 XP in creator made islands” and track in order to monitor progress while in game as normal.
  2. Enter any creator made island/experience with mission tracked. (This example: Bed Wars Klombos)
  3. Mission will appear as normal on screen, in usual location beneath HUD map, top right of the screen.
  4. During normal gameplay, mission progress SHOULD update to show xp earned during play, as to be expected by the player.

Expected Result

Any XP earned through a creator made island/experience should update the visual display showing the “tracked” mission type and the corresponding XP amount(s) as it is earned in game, just as it does for any other mission across Battle Royale, Zero Build, Team Rumble, etc.

Observed Result

The visible text and mission description being tracked on screen does not update in real time as XP is earned during gameplay. It remains “frozen” at its last recorded value from the main menu/lobby. It is difficult to figure out how much, if any xp is being earned through normal gameplay.

Occasionally, xp earned through the normal in game pop ups (middle left of screen) updates on the screen normally. Therefore, there is no issue with xp being earned. It simply isn’t updating/showing progress when said missions are being pinned/tracked.

Platform(s)

PC
(Potentially other platforms too. Haven’t/can’t test & verify, PC is only platform owned with Fortnite installed.)

Additional Notes

Whilst this visual bug was noticed initially & primarily on Bed Wars Klombos PvP (lsland code listed above), I am adamant this issue is present across other creative island experiences - if not all of them - at least from my personal experience.

Same issue on Ps5 for me
