Additional Notes

Its the same bug like in 37-31 (the video I provided) but the weird UI stuff is gone. Fortnite doesn’t need to be restarted after the network error, but the player still can’t join the map. We don’t know why this occurs!

The status of FORT-987739 changed to ‘Needs Triage’. We’ve confirmed the issue and it’s waiting to be assigned to someone to fix it.
