Map Controller Device appears to still be working when using a custom texture map. So this could be a workaround solution if you need to fix the issue in a published island.

See documentation on how to set it up:

Using the Map Controller Device

this works, thank you ItsJacky

This issue is not specific to using the scale minimap. It’s for any Map Controller device used in UEFN. I’ve had a thread open since 29.10 when this broke in the Discord community that has gone mostly unnoticed. Apparently using the map controller in Creative works just fine. But any implementation including all default settings in a brand new project don’t work.

As of 29.20, there is now an additional issue where the preview of the map controller in UEFN displays many artifacts as shown.

Here to confirm that the issue is still happening.
Version: 5.4.0-32716692+++Fortnite+Release-29.20
Platform: Windows 11 (23H2) [10.0.22631.3296] (x86_64)

Still the same here - just standard creative on PS5 - old and after deleting the controller and starting with another one, and brand new maps.

[Seniorfrito]

Could we get some acknowledgment that this is a known issue and is being looked at?

[Richimpulse]

Upvoted and I can confirm this is still a problem.
I just placed a map controller in a new project and it is completely blank during game play.

[Zolee08_HU]

Same here, still doesnt work!

[THE_DEAD_METHOD]

I’m still having this issue - and in Creative 2.0 and on every island.

I have deleted the Map Controller and HUD Controller and replaced first the map controller only.

Still nothing.

6/3/24 Still having this same issue in my map.

Upvoted. Although it is possible to use the workaround of the custom texture for the Map Controller Device, unfortunately it requires more resources and less than ideal solutions in some circumstances where the map changes dynamically.

[KeyserScholze]

i was using the custom texture workaround and then they removed the “capture map image” button as well

[Mastergidan]

It seems so! I was trying to do a workaround and noticed the button is missing.

[Zolee08_HU]

08/06/24 Still doest work! EPIC PLEASE!

[KeyserScholze]

minimap is fixed, thank you!

[THE_DEAD_METHOD]

Mine worked again after replacing the map controller.
