Devices Desynced between UEFN & FN Creative

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Summary

Devices are desyncing on my UEFN. My Guard Spawners show different values in game and in the editor.

The only way I have been able to fix this the last couple days is to delete the device and replace with a new one. However this does not always act as a permanent fix with the bug returning on several occasions.

Sometimes if I place a new Guard Spawner in UEFN it doesn’t work right from the start. This forces me to place the assets in game and hope they work on the editor side.

As a side not, this all started when I was trying to reference a Guard Spawner in a verse device the other day and it gave an error. Something along the lines of “Verse device referencing an asset that doesn’t exist” even when the asset was right in front of my face.

Steps to Reproduce

Place a Guard Spawner, change some values. Do some testing by starting and stopping the game. I’ve had my crash a few times during testing through a “connection lost” error.

Expected Result

Devices (more specifically Guard Spawners) will stop taking updates. You will no longer be able to change values and they will be desynced from UEFN to FN Creative.

Observed Result

I don’t know what other user testing my produce.

I don’t know what your issue really is, but I’ve got something since I started UEFN, it seems that pushing Verse Changes will rollback all your “in editor” changes since you did your last “Push Changes” :person_shrugging:

Since I’m still having issues with this I have decide to post a visual example.

How did I get to this point?

Today I opened up UEFN knowing that my guard spawner had an incorrect setting from the night before I decided to correct that. I went over to my spawner within UEFN and changed the setting. To try and make sure the setting would actually stay, I pushed the changes.

Once my project was finished updating I started the game and the guards were still dropping weapons. I took these pictures to prove my findings again.

These steps are not the only way to produce these results but this is my experience as of today. The only way I know I can fix this is to either change them on both sides and hope for the best or delete the device and place a new one.
