Alright, some guy with nickname Omniverse found a way how to fix this temporarily, until Epic will make an update, so here it is:

“Go to your install folder where you have Fortnite_Studio. Copy everything inside there ctrl+a and ctrl+c and paste it inside the regular fortnite folder. Then with epic running in back launch UEFN from the UnrealEditorFortnite-Win64-Shipping.exe file under your install location at Fortnite\FortniteGame\Binaries\Win64”

Go to Epic launcher library, press 3 dots on Fortnite, and there you can find a directory where the game was installed. The “Fortnite” folder by default lies at “Program Files/Epic Games/Fortnite”, so in short, you copy every single folder at “Fortnite_studio” directory, and paste it into “Fortnite” folder.
