Sometimes on generating a storm through Its Generate Storm Function through Verse the storm becomes Invisible but is still present and still moves as intended just invisible.
It only happens once every so often in a Round based game. Normally happening once every 20 rounds for me.
This has only started happening for me AFTER the new season released.
There has been a prior forum post on this topic with no fix or has come back after v40.00

In some rounds the storm becomes invisible after a random amount of time, sometimes basically instantly sometimes a bit later. Storm cannot be seen nor can be seen on the minimap. With storm timer also showing as 0:00.
It continues to damage you and have an effect if you are inside the storm (when it is invisible)

Additional Notes
This only happened for me AFTER v40.00 released. I havent touched the storm system at all between last update and this v40.00 update. So I believe its a visual bug on fortnite’s end.
This bug has been present since last August: after about 15–20 minutes (on both round and non-round based maps), the storm randomly becomes invisible.
This bug affects ONLY maps published after last August; in fact, older maps such as “Tilted Zone Wars,” “Go Goated,”, “DUO CUP ZONE WARS [ENDGAME]“ etc., do NOT have this bug.
At this time, due to this issue, is not possible make a map with a zone!
After some testing I believe it has to do with Beacon/Storm render distance, Sometimes If i go into the storm and go far enough away the storm disapears… move back towards where the storm was and it reappears sometimes only by 50m or so.
This is actually still happening. I’ve watched a stream of a group playing my game yesterday and I think the storm was invisible in 2 of the 11 rounds played.
it’s random, It begins to occur after 30/45min(regardless of whether the map is round-based or not). It’s completely random: the bug affects randomly players, after a while the storm reappear and after random time it become invisible again. This bug has been present since August 2025
