Document is inaccessible

Summary

Most of the API documentation is inaccessible.

For example:

Almost all of the links on this page are inaccessible.

While we always respect the great work Epic Games does, without access to the documentation, it’s impossible to use this amazing engine.

Why remove the documentation? It’s a lifeline for developers.

inaccessible links:
“Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Epic Developer Community”

“Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Unreal Engine 5.6 Documentation | Epic Developer Community”

hi @ITIGEK1 ,

The problem occurs while trying to access these links from inside Fortnite Creative.

They cannot be accessed by consoles like Xbox X/S, Nintendo Switch 1/2 . Android.

This is because they all have the same problem:

Fortnite attempts to use a subset of a real browser to access only the old Fortnite Creative 1.0 pages

When using Google Chrome, these links are automatically converted to the new updated links.

These links come from the original UEFN 5.0

The newly translated link is in fact

The old original version, which comes from Fortnite Creative’s internal browser,could not translate this.

Even Xbox One cannot use the browser, as this was based on the original Internet Explorer 3.1

Microsoft Xbox One makes you install a version of Microsoft Edge, which is based on Google Chrome.

You cannot make calls from the web Api to the documentation on Xbox, even with the Developer kit.

The web page in the path no longer exists, and the browser needs to deal with the redirect address supplied

Thanks for your reply.

I can reproduce this issue using the latest version of Chrome on Windows and Android.

For some reason, the redirect doesn’t seem to be working.

I verified this with this site. I’m being redirected to the homepage with a 301 Moved Permanently error.

It seems like the problem is with the server, not the client.

This URL was accessible until September 26th, but when I checked it today in Chrome for Windows, it had disappeared. Changing the URL scheme will prevent it from being reflected in Google’s index, effectively making the document inaccessible.

I have submitted a request to have this update on Google.

wait and see what the result is

Well cannot see how they will get to the new documentation!
