We’re investigating a matchmaking issue where players aren’t able to enter some UEFN experiences properly.

We’ll provide another update when we have more info and this issue is resolved.

We’ve fixed this matchmaking issue with UEFN islands.
Players should be able to queue and get into games without issue, and affected creators should see their player metrics returning to normal.

Thank you for the update. I really appreciate the communication.

Do we need to push an update for XP to work properly?

Hello - for us, this was a game-breaking bug for 2 of our maps. We have unlisted our maps until it’s resolved. We were unaware that this was an issue until we were playing our maps this morning for gameplay footage and then saw it on the discord. Just wondering if this could be sent out as an announcement just as matchmaking was sent out. I think creators would want the chance to unlist their maps while this is being sorted out. Our maps weren’t on discover but it would be heartbreaking if someone were trying to play either of those maps.

We’re aware of an issue with Grind Rails in Fortnite Creative and UEFN islands where players may be unable to jump from one parallel rail to another. We are checking into it and let you know when we have more information.

Any update on this?

Hi there, it is being worked on and I hope to have some news soon.

We’re aware of an issue that may cause players to crash when sprinting on Grind Rails in both Battle Royale and creator islands.

In the meantime, we’ve disabled Sprinting while Grinding to prevent these crashes while we investigate the issue. As a note to creators, this may significantly impact experiences that make use of Grind Rails.

So just Sprinting on Grind Rails/Vines is disabled, and normal usage of Grind Rails/Vines is still available?

There was an issue in our last update (v28.10) that caused thumbnails to be incorrectly regenerated.

This issue has been fixed in today’s update. (v28.20) Thank you for your patience while we worked through this!

Hi all, sprinting while using grind rails has been reenabled in our latest update.
