### Summary

The Creator Portal publishing check blocks my release with “You can’t publish while these experimental features are enabled: Experimental editor setting(s)”, but nothing experimental is enabled. All Experimental Access and Beta Access options in Project Settings are unchecked, the .uefnproject “experimental” block only contains “version”: 1, and the UEFN publishing report says “Passed, Ready to Publish” with “Experimental Features: No issues found”. Project ID: 553d68e6-2acd-4b4f-9663-6c415c5cf35a. Private versions 4460-9852-0915 and 9146-8247-4730 are both blocked. Looks like FORT-1035989 / FORT-1162114.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Publishing

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Disable Scene Graph System and all Experimental Access options in Project Settings, save and restart UEFN.
2. Launch Session, End Game, Project \> Launch Memory Calculation (private version 9146-8247-4730 created, UEFN report: Passed, Ready to Publish).
3. Creator Portal \> Publishing \> Private Versions \> Create release.
4. Wait for Verse Validation (“Compatibility checks complete”).

### Expected Result

The release can continue, since no experimental features are enabled.

### Observed Result

“Experimental Features: You can’t publish while these experimental features are enabled: Experimental editor setting(s)”. The Continue button stays disabled.

### Platform(s)

windows

### Island Code

9146-8247-4730

### Additional Notes

Project ID: 553d68e6-2acd-4b4f-9663-6c415c5cf35a. Also blocked: private version 4460-9852-0915 (before disabling Scene Graph). Verse Validation “Compatibility checks complete”, In-Island Transactions “No known issues”, Memory 54.6/300 MiB, Asset Status “No issues”. UEFN local publishing report: “Passed, Ready to Publish”, “Experimental Features: No issues found”. No vehicles, no experimental devices or Verse APIs. Please check which setting the portal detects or clear the flag. Thank you!
