This is pretty important for any map that might have used this asset as now it just has an empty reference.

It seems that recently there are multiple assets that have had their static mesh disconnected from the parents. They all might be tied together. The Pumpkin collectable is not showing up anymore either and when you look at the ‘pumpkin JackO Lantern2’ asset it is empty just like these crates.

So, maybe there were a bunch of FN assets that have had their static meshes disconnected for some reason.

Hey Epic, I use this crate in my map and its broken now. Do I really have to submit a revision to fix it?

Thanks.

Confirming the issue still persists, the crates are entirely unusable until the meshes are reconnected.

A few props recently disappeared from my map and many props are invisible when added.

Garlic ( from hexylvania collection) disappears all the time.

When walls and floors became invisible I suspected it is because I had a long live edit session and though I did not edit those specific props in edit session, I think there was a conflict somehow.

I noticed half of house is gone and quickly closed uefn and Fortnite and discarded all changes (git). After that I relaunched uefn and floors/walls were there.

As for other invisible props I am not sure what to do.

Confirming the issue still persists even after the most recent patch, the crates are unusable until the meshes are reconnected.
