yeah theres a whole lotta wrong with Creative 1.0 on the Xbox currently

I made a post myself:

Creative 1.0 Render Distance Issues (HUGE)

Summary This bug needs to be addressed now. This recent update made things worse. WAY worse. Now placed props literally turn invisible at a distance now and when returned to them will become INVISIBLE. I literally cannot build nor work on my Islands no more as of this update. This issue should have been resolved when it was being assigned to someone AT THAT TIME. That was back at CH6S3. This is horrible now. To Explain the issue once again and hopefully for the final time. Non-XL maps in Creat…

hi @AtAshTag ,

There is a possible answer in another post

Lighting on Xbox broken - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

The problem with “Rectangular lights create a glaring brightness on some platforms” has been present in Unreal Engine 5 from the beginning, pre-2018, when GPU baking was developed.

Now with UE 5.7, UEFN 37.* onward, the same lighting potential problems.

We recommended Using the Emissive Material Input in Unreal Engine

There is a new documentation book on lighting to download

Day Sequence Device

Well, in past, there have been lots of problems, where the Skydome device FN Creative 1.0 was replaced by the Day Sequence Device, and the UEFN Feature sample island had to be fixed.

FN Creative Islands were force updated on the published server, but the code had to be updated. Replacing Skydome with Day Sequence Device automatically in UEFN back in 31.00??

There are loads of threads. This became so complex that just gave up following this!
