Summary
The issue is worse than I thought: if you close Fortnite once, any UEFN replay file becomes unusable. When reopened, the map appears empty — only characters and NPCs are visible, with all terrain and structures missing.
This makes Replay Mode unreliable and essentially unusable for creators relying on it for content or review. I’ve also been contacted by other UEFN creators who are facing the same critical issue. A fix is urgently needed.
PS: I’ve tested multiple UEFN replay files across different PCs, and the issue persists — so it doesn’t appear to be file-specific or device-specific.
