Unreal Editor for Fortnite
What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Publishing
Summary
I had a map that was corrupted due to the updates in Fortnite. I was unable to open my project and after trying for weeks, 1027 devices flagged as validation errors.
Also back then the HLODs wouldn’t delete from content browser or by the delete HLOD tool.
I would “save level as” for backups and revert to the prior “saved as new level”.
I duplicated/migrated my level to a new project in order to recover the map/level by migrating my level, or selecting " save level as".
I know that migrating or duplicating levels is considered spam.
Roughly a month later I published my map (the migrated version with the levels that used “save level as” (new level) and it never got on any tabs and discover.
This is the second map that this has happened to.
I am wondering if my account is now considered spam according to the algorithm since my maps are not getting on any discover tabs besides new and updated immediately after publishing?
Do all of my future maps suffer from the algorithm inaccurately flagging my previous maps as spam?
Is there a way that you can apply and update to the algorithm so that migrated levels, or levels that have used “save as” new level are not marked as spam please?
Steps to Reproduce
Save as new level
Or
Migrate level to new project
Algorithm marks map as spam
Expected Result
It should be reasonably allowed if you’d migrate or save a level as a new level to fix bugs, that the algorithm won’t just automatically flag it as spam. Hopefully the algorithm does not flag my creator account as spam now.
Observed Result
No tabs in Discover. Any maps published only get new and updated. (New and updated tab only maxes out at 200 players and then the map drops off discover).
Platform(s)
Windows PC PS4 Xbox Nintendo switch mobile
Notes
Sometimes I wonder why the data shows no tabs on Discover when I first publish maps while other maps hit 15 minutes of discover immediately after publishing. All I can think of is the algorithm is inaccurately flagging my creater account as spam discriminatively.
Any response or epic staff looking into this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much.
