Game Crashing/Freezing on Round Complete

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Stability

Summary

The issue is when the game should complete and go to the scoreboard, it doesn’t. The user continues to be able to move but not interact with the game until ultimately a crash occurs.

I believe I have narrowed the cause down to the Wildlife Spawner. I have a number of Wildlife spawners in my game using chickens, if there are any living Chickens at the end of the round the freeze occurs. Looping over the spawners and despawning the chickens before ending the round seems to address the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

End round with chickens in game.

Expected Result

Round ends.

Observed Result

Game does not end and ultimately crashes with an error when sent back to the lobby. Message states, “There was an error: Network connection lost”

Platform(s)

Additional Notes

In the past on Round End, chickens would automatically despawn without having to do it manually. Since the latest update it seems they stick around… maybe this is related to the issue?

This issue does not occur on all of my maps that include chickens. Whack-A-Chicken (5223-7742-6180) doesn’t appear to have this problem. That said, the settings on the spawner is different between the two.
