Hey realDunkin,

right click on your HLOD file in the content browser and do a validation on assets, what problems you got ?

if you validate assets and dependencies, you’ll get more results, but some fortnite props will throw errors up, but these props can’t be modified to address the errors, you can usually ignore them though because they will still let you build HLODs and launch.

I often accidentally attach spatially loaded actors to non spatially loaded actors or vice versa, which always causes issues.
another could be an invalid texture, I had problems with a material made from a modified Fortnite CR_Damage Overlay instance.

This what I get when validating assets and dependencies
