Double-Jump live edit flying applies when testing too and breaks many things

Ive experienced this a respawn doesnt fix it you have to restart fortnite session idk what causes it tho.

This is not a bug and completely normal for debugging purposes, you need to disable phase debugging mode for it to not phase during gameplay when flying…

Many people already reported and got confused on the past by not understanding, check this one for reference that is about the same misconception and already closed by epic:

During edit mode, open the phone options, disable phasing when flying, then start your game… You can also bind a shortcut keybind to enable/disable it quickier if you want.

Also worth mentioning it is only a debugging feature during edit mode, it does not affect private codes, playtests or published islands behavior.

I dnt think this is what we are on about its the weird glitchy state you get in and cannot get out of.

Oh, so I maybe understood it wrong, do you have some video showcasing it?

Only happened a few times to me so i don’t unfortunately but i know exactly what they mean its like it starts with phase but then your like walking in phase mode and its jittery as hell.
