I downloaded the free levels that epic game out and for some reason when i load them and hit the play button it wedges me in the ground and i cant do anything. I even removed its player start and added new ones, even tried without it, and even tried play from here, all with the same affect. Being stuck in the ground unable to do anything. Side note it has to be something oriented to this map because i tried the icelands map and it works perfect. ---

Make sure you are not spawning the player below KillZ. ---

Probably you’re trying to spawn it in a collision. Please press Alt + C keys to see collisions in your level and try to close which is collides. ---

Just tried running the 3rd person character around in this level and was having the same problem. Phyrexian\_TR was on the right track and it is a collision problem - with the Skysphere of all things! Deleted the Skysphere and I could start spawning the character and running around. Good luck with it if you hit the issue and hope this helps. ---
