Hi everyone, if you’re having issues with Discovery (you update your maps and they don’t appear in any category), you make a new map and it doesn’t appear, you deactivate the island code, you reactivate it and it doesn’t appear (even though the documentation says it would be promoted again), please upvote other fellow developers who are having this same issue. There are tons of people who have had to temporarily close their studios for months, unsubscribe from Social Security, among many other issues affecting entire families.
In my case, we’re a Limited Company with three employees. Imagine spending two years developing maps, only for an algorithm change in March, with no explanation, to have our studio down for two months now. 60 days without a solution. This is something that’s happening to 80% of creators, and no matter how many tickets are opened, no one wants to say what’s going on.
Please, let’s make a collective request to the devs and mods on this forum to raise this issue to a VERY URGENT level. Families are living off their income creating video games for Epic Games, and we’ve been wondering whether to give up or God knows what for two months.
Yea it seems my time developing for uefn is over soon as well cause the only shot to get paid before was epics picks for me and now epics picks seems impossible/has delays of months at a time. If you get this in bug reports or feedback and get 5+ votes i know it gets fast tracked to be seen by epic employees, might want to put it there.
I don’t understand why some changes aren’t being made that could be made that would improve this much more drastically than micro managing of search and discovery. These changes were pretty brutal it requires a lot of changing it up and they did a lot more they just pushed back on, a lot that “Search 2.0” was doing was done at the same time.
The problem is the lack of communication on the changes to discovery and search especially of late, just kind of a hidden thing. If they just said it in one of the updates “Search 2.0 changes” or “Discovery changes to blah blah” this would be a different story, a bit more warning on these changes is all really asking for.
