As of the Fortnite 42.10 update, Live Edit sessions cannot be joined in progress. This is a total roadblock as several of our environmental artists use consoles to build, and this effectively blocks them from working on any of our projects.
This issue has been encountered on PS5 but not tested on other platforms.
Please select what you are reporting on:
Unreal Editor for Fortnite
What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Live Edit
Steps to Reproduce
Verify that both users are members of the same UEFN team.
Both users join the same party, one on PC and one on PS5. The PC user should be the party leader.
The PC user opens a UEFN session and is loaded into the UEFN hub area.
The PS5 user readies up in the lobby to matchmake into the UEFN session.
Expected Result
The PS5 player loads into the Live Edit session.
Observed Result
The PS5 player will either be not allowed to ready up, or will be forced back to lobby with a “No Reservation In Game” error message.
Platform(s)
PC, PS5
Video
Additional Notes
Recreating the steps may be difficult as we encountered several issues while trying to invite/join the party. The issue likely occurs on other platforms as well but we have not tested beyond PC host and PS5 joining.
Anyone that is experiencing this issue, could you share your logs with me?

I’m the owner of the team / projects and I am also unable to join live edit/ game on ps5 when my teammate initiates the session on PC. (You could try to repro in your test team)
When submitting a bug on ps5 should I do it after it immediately rejects connection for the first time or connects on the third attempt and then kicks me out with the no reservation error?
I am still having this exact issue today. Almost exact setup as OP except when I launch the session, my party member and I get pulled into the UEFN lobby, then an error after 3 seconds or so, “Server connection error #5” (as seen by PC host).
