Summary

This has been an issue for quite some time, my best guess is sometime around 31.40 (first started noticing while working on a Halloween island)

Currently unable to join a live-edit session from a Nintendo Switch, or Mobile.

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Live Edit

Steps to Reproduce

-Launch Live Edit Session (From PC)
-Attempt to join from Nintendo Switch (or Mobile)

Expected Result

-Player on Nintendo Switch should load into the live-edit session.

Observed Result

-Player’s body spawns and the Nintendo Switch immediately crashes. (able to see the body from the PC account)

Platform(s)

windows

Island Code

5794-2200-8636

Additional Notes

  • I assumed it is a RAM issue.
    • I’ve tried enabling Streaming on the island with no success.

The Nintendo Switch is able to load into the Live Island and also Private Island Codes just fine.

I have gotten into a live-edit session over the last month, but it maybe 3 times out of the hundreds of attempts.

hi @spankysully1 ,
The island works on my Samsung Android and on my Nintendo Switch Hydra, which I bought in September 2024

  1. Have you deleted the old Version of Fortnite on Nintendo and reloaded NOT updated you can run old version for FN on Nintendo Switch. was 31.00 before manual update
  2. Does your App contains Verse Debug statements, these were in post
  3. Nintendo Switch PLayers / Mobile: Crash Game / Fortnite Closes when trying to playing on a public puclished map / Fortnite Creative / UEFN - General / Issues and Bug Reporting - Epic Developer Community Forums

I only included the island code because it asked for one. My Switch loads that island code (the live version) just fine like stated.

It CANNOT load into an edit session so I can test with 2 players while building in UEFN.

Will see what I can learn from those other posts, thanks!

Textures not in power of 2, or verse construction scripts cause this. No repro but we had both before
