Hello, I’m a Fortnite content creator and owner of a published Creative 1 island called Melaad Party Royale (Island Code: 9862-4661-6699).
Since the latest Fortnite update, I along with many other players have been unable to join any Creative 1.0 maps.
The issue:
When trying to enter a Creative 1 map, the game gets stuck on the loading screen, constantly showing “CONNECTING”, without ever loading into the map. This issue didn’t exist before the recent update.
Now, many Creative 1 islands are broken, including my own. Melaad Party Royale, which has been running fine for months, is currently unplayable due to this bug.
Request:
Please investigate this as soon as possible. Many creators still rely on Creative 1 for their projects, and this issue is disrupting both the creator workflow and player access.

Additional Notes
This issue started only after the latest update and is affecting multiple Creative 1 maps, including my own.
My map Melaad Party Royale was working perfectly before the update.
This bug is seriously affecting the experience for creators and players.
Please look into it!
