Lost UEFN project due to OneDrive/Revision Control issue but island is still published and playable – looking for recovery options

Summary

Hello,

I am facing a serious issue with one of my UEFN projects and I hope someone can help or provide guidance.

My local project was lost due to a OneDrive synchronization problem combined with Unreal Revision Control. The files became corrupted and I can no longer open or access the project in UEFN.

However, the island is NOT lost:

  • The island is still published (private version)
  • I can launch and play it in Fortnite using the island code
  • I am the original creator and owner

This means the project data still exists on Epic’s servers, but I have no way to access it in UEFN anymore.

I would like to ask:

  • Is it possible to relink an existing island to a new UEFN project?
  • Are there any server-side backups or revisions available?
  • Is there any way Epic can help recover or restore the project from the published version?

This project represents a very large amount of work and is extremely important to me.

I am willing to provide any information needed (island code, project name, account details).

Thank you very much for your time.
