I should also point out that some projects are completely unusable. When my project loads, it creates landscape texture resources in which it crashes mid way through. This is an unavoidable process which makes projects unusable

@Brandisnappy or anyone else in the thread, could you record a video of you walking through the steps until you have to use task manager?
Also @Brandisnappy and others, could we get island codes where this is happening?
Hey, could i send you a Google Drive link via Twitter DMās to a video?

2964-0674-5223 this is crashing everytime just when opening landscape tool
Same issue keeps happening for me.
I can SOMETIMES move the brush for about 3 seconds but it still freezes completely.
Heres the video, unfortunately due to the upload limits, Iāve had to make it low quality and speed up the unimportant parts

Could we by chance up the priority of this bug? Its been almost 5 days and I cant use the editor properly which is now costing me time and income. Some projects just dont load at all, crashing at the āwating for texture resouces to be ready for landscapeā stage making projects 100% unusable. It shouldnt have taken this long for the bug to be fixed. Landscape is a crucial tool in uefn, being one of the major ones, and its not even functional.

I agree, this bug needs WAY more attention.
How big is your Windows paging File ?
(Advanced PC Settings - Virtual Memory)
Donāt let Windows manage it and crank it up to be at least 64 GBā¦ got an empty spare hard drive, use that.
The yellow triangle on the right of the Viewport needs to be clicked and then click on the fix, this is usually landscape resync or rebuild.
Thanks to everyone who submitted videos and island codes.
Tried the memory thing and it did nothing. My project crashes loading the landscape textures before i even have the chance to interact with anything else

Thats disappointing, was hoping it would help a little bit.
Got so far a little work around, no freeze when using landscape mode
Its not ideal but i disable revision controle first
When i stop in the editor i connect revision controle again and save
- when using landscape tool , i work in āunlitā
- brush size at 225 ( not yet tested higher)
Works so far for two days without any freez - save local important changes every 5 min
- dragging , copy, scale or anything other than landscape mode is fine without any freeze
Hope this helped
Also been facing this issue since the Star Wars update. Iām using the default landscape material and Iām on a relatively large island. A couple of days ago I was able to get into the landscape tool and pick between the different types and start painting to where my project would then freeze up. However, now it just freezes a couple of seconds after clicking on the Landscape tool. Would really appreciate if this would get fixed soon.
I spammed the hell out of the rebuild landscape button and got it to work. It did manage to allow me access to my project. On times here I didnt manage to access the rebuild landscape button, it always crashed. Furthermore, altering the landscape material instance caused the physics materials to need to be rebuilt. After some time, it crashed, however upon trying again, rebuilding the physics materials didnt lead to a crash. I believe the landscape errors to be the main issue causing the crashes, however they are happening way to often and too fast. They shouldnt be causing any crashes at all
Forgot to mention tho, that once all the landscape errors have been fixed, there isnāt any needing to be fixed upon next project start up which then circles back around to the crash when building landscape textures as the landscape rebuild served as a way to evade that. Still a big problem. I find it very appalling that this has had very little acknowledgement by epic and that its been over a week since this bug has become apparent. There hasnāt been any note of it on fortnite status either, although not to anyoneās surprise, the issue (not even a bug) about the IP content being in creative received both a discord announcement and a twitter announcement despite those props not completely denying people access to their projects and their income access. It has been made very clear that this is an issue. There have been discord complaints, and this entire post. Furthermore, iāve seen questions about the bug under the twitter post about the IP content issue which have gone unresponded to, not even acknowledging it or giving any reassurance that itās being worked on. Iāve noticed we have had Flak in and out of the post and that it has been acknowledged in some way however this is a application breaking bug and should have been treated more serious than just letting us sit here in the dark waiting for some kind of update or solution to the issue.
The longer this bug is unpatched, the further off schedule Iām becoming, everywhere Iāve already done the landscape for has now been fully decorated - besides landscape layer painting in some places, can this please become a high priority issue? Thanks
Hey folks, the team is asking for some logs here. It would be super helpful if you could please recreate the issue locally and then send us the logs. We are working on this, but weāre having some issues recreating on our machines, so weāll need your logs.
Thank you!
How to get your Fortnite logs
I will properly replicate this now with logs for flak, but IāVE FOUND A WORKAROUND!!!
It seems that by causing an error in the material that your landscape uses, then opening landscape mode you can edit your landscape properly (with no texture), it seems by fixing the error, editing the landscape causes a crash.
