Summary
I cannot fathom on how unstable Fortnite Creative has been over the past few years, ever since UEFN was introduced the idea that every creator should be able to create has just felt unbalanced, not because the capabilities between UEFN and FNC, it’s just how disregarded and overlooked FNC has felt.
There are LOTS of issues going on with Creative mode and as a creator myself it’s sad to see how ignored it’s been, any Fortnite Developer out there please consider taking some time and reading the number of issues that’s been left unchecked in Fortnite Creative:
Terrain Issues.
- Chapter 6-7 terrain issues: The terrain in Chapter 6 galleries aren’t the same textures as shown on the image in Fortnite Creative and the hitboxes on Chapter 6 terrain isn’t correct. It’s been like this since the beginning of Chapter 6 Season 1.
- Chapter 7 Terrain Rendering: ALL of the chapter 7 terrain (INCLUDING Chapter 4) have horrible render distance, I cannot express how annoying this glitch is when trying to build terrain for a tutorial, or just for making maps. You can barely see the terrain from 100 meters distance!?
THIS BUG HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF CH7!!! - Even textures in the Olympus Nature Gallery aren’t correct, some terrain is supposed to be different grass colors yet majority of them are the same???
Props Disappearing/ Duplicating
4. This glitch has been ongoing for about 1 Year now (Since Chapter 6), you would place down a prop and fly around to another area, the prop would just be gone until you switch your island.
5. When copying props (and devices) they will just duplicate after placing the copy down, the only way I’ve figured out how to “avoid” this is by placing a wall or floor using “Building as prop - Disabled”. But We shouldn’t have to find a loophole on how to avoid it.
Island Permissions.
6. This Glitch has been ongoing for 4 YEARS now, what is going on with that??! We haven’t been able to give Creators edits individually.
Island Select Number Error.
7. When trying to make a new island my Islands say 46/50 but I’m unable to create more maps. It’s been like this since Chapter 5 Season 3. Even Creative Royale islands are still shown but they’ve been removed from Creative for almost a year now.
Render Distance.
8. As mentioned with the Chapter 7 terrain, render distance in Creative is just very low, I would just stand in a single area, and very small areas would load in.
Phase and Invulnerable.
9. Using the phase and invulnerable options don’t give you the Red/ Blue effect like it used to a few months back.
Memory Calculations & Errors.
10. On some terrain pieces and props, the memory would just stay the same, i.e: Brutal Bastion Nature Gallery’s terrain memory constantly says 1k each placement, even though it should say +2 or +3 memory.
11. The optimization on Chapter 6 and 7 memory is just TOO high for the current memory cap we have (100K), sometimes these props would cost 600 or 1,200 JUST for a small item like a Sign or other chapter 7 props.
Editor Camera.
12. The Editor Camera “Immersive” isn’t functioning correctly and we can see our skins eyes or even its entire head at most times.
Rotation Resets.
13. When trying to reset a prop back to its orignal state, nothing happens, the rotation was fixed a few weeks ago. Not exactly sure what happened??
Drops On.
14. Sometimes when picking up prop’s drops are just on randomly, it’s very exhausting when copying props.
Prop Mover NOT Working!
15. Prop moves also have a slim chance of working, sometimes when using one prop mover on anything it doesn’t want to move until you place an extra prop mover on it, it’s very frustrating to use.
Beacon Device NOT Working!
16. Using the Beacon Device “Beam” doesn’t enable and is invisible all the time!
Skydive Volume NOT working!
17. In the Skydive Volume Device the “Push Force” option isn’t moving the player Up or Down. This has been happening since the start of Chapter 7!
Like mentioned before any Fortnite Developer or the Creative Team take the time to read these issues, PLEASE communication with us the Creative Community on news about this, glitches, or bug fixes you guys are currently taking care of. We’re tired of feeling left out or overshadowed.
Please select what you are reporting on:

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Stability
Steps to Reproduce
I believe it’s best to take action on resolving issues within FNC (Fortnite Creative) now as the game is just FILLED with lots of issues.
For Creative I think its best that we put a halt on giving us new galleries or other extra content as we already have a lot of newer props/ galleries that can last us for a few months. Or however the Developer Team may execute this.
Taking action of fixing the bugs will make Creators feel more seen rather than ignored.
Expected Result
To make Fortnite Creative Stable and playable for THE creator experience, leaving a huge gap in this/ ignoring the issues won’t bring any good to what the system is like currently.
Observed Result
What I wish is to see a functional, fun, and fixed version of the Game which made Fortnite what it is today. Built for creators, by creators.
Not overshadowed by UEFN.
