issue with players spawning into the sky(found temp fix!!!!!!!!)

Please select what you are reporting on:

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Summary

players spawning into the sky even though spawn pads are in the game and teams/class is all clear/on any. I worked out after 4 hours that when you place a spawn pad in creative/uefn it works only for 1 time and then you will spawn in the sky. you must copy-paste new spawn pads and delete the original for it to then work again before you start the next game. If you are publishing either private/released version you must copy-paste-delete original spawners and then publish without testing them. I know this sounds crazy but after 4 hours it worked every time. Also i wanna do another shoutout about player counters and class selectors as they are totally glitched also. Look at other post and share/like for support.

Steps to Reproduce

place spawn pads and start the game then after round 1 or next game you will rift into the sky

Expected Result

it should work as expected and now random

Observed Result

it will fix the bug in the interim until epic fix it properly

Platform(s)

xbox
ps5

Additional Notes

i dont understand but this past 2 weeks i have seen the most bugs/issues i have ever seen on fortnite creative and its truly making people go crazy. Just spend time in discords ect its crazy and i only joined this forum and ofund it existed due to the amount of frustration and anger waiting and trying to find fake fixes

Wow, thanks for the info, that could also be related to whats been happening on one of my maps, where from round 2 onwards, the players hover above their spawnpads until round start, where they then spawn as normal.

The status of FORT-729355 incident has been moved from ‘In Testing’ to ‘Closed’. Resolution Reason: ‘Cannot Reproduce’

I experienced a similar issue after the round changed. I recall that the team was -1 when that happened.

how do you get -1 team ?

In the past, on my island, the teams used to change every round. After 2-3 rounds of team changes, there were instances where players would spawn in the sky. When checking the team information during those times, the team appeared as -1. (In the island settings, there are only teams 1 and 2.)

That makes no sense

How did you see -1 ? on the scoreboard in game maybe ?

I must have been mistaken. I set the team settings to 1 and 2, and they are displayed as “Blue Team” and “Red Team,” respectively. Normally, they are displayed correctly as “Red Team” and “Blue Team,” but when the issue occurs, they are shown as “8 Team” and “9 Team,” as shown in the screenshot. Despite having only 1 and 2 teams in my island settings.

makes no sense but then i guess if the spawn pad is set to team 1 and 2 the team doesn’t have anywhere to spawn and then would spawn in the sky.

It seems that way. However, I’m not sure why the teams are changing to 8 and 9.

Can confirm spawn pads are still bugged and randomly stop working

YEah, I still confrim this another month later haha. It’s been there since the very first map I did when Creative 2.0 came out.

Depending on what you as a player are trying to do: I have a fix for my issue that I had. I wanted class 1 to go free for all and then class 2 to be when a player had been eliminated. I could not get the player in class 1 to spawn on the correct pads at all when the second round started and the pads was set to class 1. So I set those pads to ‘‘any’’ and priority 1. Then I disable them with a timer 3 seconds after the round is started so no eliminated players from class 1 or 2 spawns there. So when they get eliminated they go to their own class spawn and correct spawn pads that are used later.

LOL can confirm. Fix the issue Epic. “Cannot reproduce” is not enough.

@iFlone could we get your logs after you reproduce this?

If we could also have your settings for Island Setting Player Spawn and Player Spawner.

Settings:

IslandSettings

  • Max Players:
  • Teams:
  • Spawning:

We’ll try to track this down. Thank you!

Hello, sorry for the late answer but I did not see before so i don’t have access anymore to the logs (and it seems to work now?)
