Fortnite Creative / UEFN Bug Report – Text Chat Stops Working After Round Transfer

Summary

Text chat stops functioning after players are transferred into a new round.

Text chat works normally at the start of the match, but after a round transition occurs, players can no longer receive messages in chat.

The issue appears to happen after the game resets/transfers players into the next round and can continue for the remainder of the session.

Video

You can see in the video the player I added also says they have not seen my messages in global island chat. Also added a screeshot to show it happen to them.

Issue seems connected to round reset/transfer systems and affects communication-based experiences heavily.
