When a player on a mobile platform with touch input drives a rocket racing car (Device_DelMarVehicleSpawner) and respawns (programmatically or manually), the HUD from the rocket racing car will persist and consume all input. The player can no longer move or interact with the world. Another respawn will not fix the issue. Only re-entering a RR car again and properly existing it will help. However existing a RR car for a touch based player is also impossible (see Mobile players with touch input cannot exit the Rocket Racing car).

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?
Stability
Steps to Reproduce
Enter a rocket racing car on a mobile platform with touch based hud input and manually respawn. The player will still see the RR car HUD and can no longer proceed with the experience as they will be stuck.
Expected Result
The RR HUD should be cleared on player respawn.
Observed Result
The RR car HUD persists and makes it impossible for the player to move or interact after respawning.
This issue has been fixed for mobile, but persists for PC and console. The rocket racing vehicle HUD shows when a player manually respawns while inside it on PC and Console.
Full replication steps from my own Trello Card (Video of bug on Trello too):
Replicate:
Start Fortnite on any platform.
Connect a bluetooth controller or keyboard + mouse and only use it. Do not use touch input on mobile.
Start a creative match.
Enter the portal on the spawn island to enter your island.
Open the map and click the island settings tab.
Click the âModeâ tab and then expand the âSpawningâ header.
Set the âSpawn Limitâ setting to âInfiniteâ.
Now scroll down and expand the âEliminationsâ header.
Set the âAllow manual Respawnâ setting to âYesâ.
Now click the âContentâ tab in the top bar.
Click devices on the left and search for the âRR Vehicle Spawnerâ.
Place the RR Vehicle Spawner in your island.
Enter the RR Vehicle.
Click the menu button to open the game menu.
Click the âRespawnâ button and then click Respawn again to confirm.
Notice what the HUD looks like after you respawn.
You will notice the HUD looks like the RR Vehicle HUD you were just in before you respawned. This happens on all platforms, except for touch input on mobile.
I guess the ticket is then marked as fixed / closed correctly as the report for mobile focused. Epic usually wants separate tickets if the issue reappears or some condition change.
