I have a new map and it says finding server forever

Idk how to fix this for island 2843-4932-3160

If it’s stuck on “Finding Server” indefinitely, the first thing I’d check is whether the problem only affects this island or every UEFN/Fortnite Creative map.

A few things to try:

  • Publish a new private version and test that version.
  • Make sure there are no recent Verse errors or validation warnings in your project.
  • Test with another player or another region to rule out a matchmaking issue.
  • Check the Epic status page and Creator Portal for any matchmaking or publishing issues.

If it’s only happening on island 2843-4932-3160, it could be an issue with that specific published build rather than your local project.

Has this map worked before, or is this the first version you’ve published? That can help narrow down whether it’s a publishing issue or something introduced in a recent update.
