Unreal Editor for Fortnite
What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Live Edit
Summary
Currently, in a live Edit session, if you start your game to do some tests (especially if it is a large island) the game will take a little while to load into the next round, you will be on a black screen, and during this time, the editor will disconnect completely, and the connection/ping will spike.
This was not happening before, and now it is repeatedly happening nearly every time we try to test our maps!
As far as we can tell, there is no way to reconnect the session except going back to the lobby, and launching a complete new session, which can take anywhere from 2-3 minutes to 10+ minutes.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a large island, that is relatively high in memory.
- Add some mechanics and props/buildings
3.Launch a live edit session from UEFN - Start the game
- Eliminate yourself so you can go into the next round
- Repeatedly eliminate yourself for a couple of rounds
- The game will lag/be on a black screen in between rounds, which then results in the editor disconnecting
Expected Result
I would expect the game to run smoothly, and not disconnect in between rounds so we can carry on testing the map without being stopped.
Observed Result
Editor is disconnecting in between rounds, stuck on a black screen for quite a while, a yellow/red X appears on our Ping/Connection, then the editor disconnects with no way to reconnect it.

Additional Notes
Once this issue occurs, you cannot reconnect the session unless you go back to the lobby and load in again.
This issue seems to happen on large scale maps/experiences
The high ping in between rounds happens to everyone in the session
It severely slows down workflow and makes testing extremely difficult.
