I can launch UE FN, and then launch into a session in normal Fortnite through UE FN- but when I try to press the ‘Start Game’ button in UE FN or Fortnite, it will not start the game and I get booted back to lobby. This happens with a default blank island.
Hi Twin!
Do you have the ability to hit “Start Game” in Live Edit?
If not, ensure you have a ExperienceSettings Device in your world. You can find it from the Fortnite/Devices directory.
Hey Axel! Thanks so much for the reply. Unfortunately, I do have an Experience Settings Device in the world and clicking “Start Game” from Live Edit has the same behavior.
Welcome here, Twin! I’ll get someone to take a look.

I really appreciate it! It is still happening as of today, as well unfortunately.
Here’s a little more information, in case it helps:
-
after pressing Start Game, in normal Fortnite I will freeze in place, I’ll be able to look around but not move- as if I am lagging out of the server, which seems to be the case because…
-
after a few minutes, I get booted to the lobby with this error message:
I have been having the same issue.
Can you do me a favor and delete your experience settings and add it again? I saw a ticket internally where we had a regression and some new projects were using the old device.

Just tried this, same results unfortunately!
Twin01, could we get your logs please? Sounds like something is crashing the server on start up.
Fortnite Game:
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\FortniteGame\Saved\Logs
UEFN:
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\UnrealEditorFortnite\Saved\Logs
and if possible, a zip of your project files? This will enable us to show the engineers what’s going on.
Just to check, are you launching UEFN through the FortnitePublicTest icon in your Epic Games library?
