Maps set to Teams: Free For All always end in a draw

It doesnt matter what win condition you use, since the last update if your map has Teams:FFA it will end in a draw.

Win conditions seem to be being ignored. If you change it to teams it does work correctly but it prevents the FFA setting being used.

This is a new bug from the last update, they always worked before.

From my testing it always displays a draw after each round but when the game ends it shows a win/lose correctly.

@X_TyFighter_X Thank you for your report! We would like to look into this further, would you be able to submit a bug report using the form available here? Fortnite Creative

Ive already submitted via that form as well, do you want me to do another?

i too have this issue since the last update, my 3 zonewars maps are now ending in a draw each round, it should was never like this…each round use to show victory for last man standing and now its a draw…i have sent through a bug report so hopefully this issue shall be fixed soon. its hurting my maps as players dont want to play a game with the score not calculating the round wins correctly…my maps integrity is out the window and losing players by the day :sob::sob: please fix this issue thanking you.

if your island is ffa change the free for all for 16 teams in my case the maximum number of players on the island is 16, if you have the active team rotation option I recommend to remove it temporarily. in victory condition you can put healt v

When I put my FFA (95 players) into 95 teams it only forms 4 teams during gameplay. Any idea why this happens? I put my teams index on 95.

x_TyFighter_x i found a way to engineer your game where it fixes this glitch, your going to want to read this… I have had the same issue as you, most of my creations are FFA games with one life. no matter what you set your round win condition to, it always says “draw” while still showing the medals on the side of the players name on the scoreboard in the correct order of who won. I spent many hours trying reprogram my games another way to get around the glitch and finally just found a way that works. Its a little time consuming, but at least it works! I saw one person mentioned to you to just set your settings to teams instead of FFA and make it so everyone is spread out on their own teams that way into as many teams as players your island can have all set to solo. I already thought of that idea right away and used it, and at first that idea seems to work out fine. However once I published my island with those programming changes, a lot of traffic came in and the game started automatically stacking people on teams regardless of any settings i tried to set to make it so each time is set to 1 a person limit. Matchmaking over rides certain settings, so my FFA game now had multple duos and trios which is not supposed to happen. So this method does NOT work once your game is published and it can have very damaging outcomes if you try to publish your FFA game containing programming in this manner. I finally just now figured out a way to engineer around all these glitches in a way that fully works out. Its complicated to do sort of, but basically involves the same idea where under game settings rather than using traditional FFA settings you instead set “teams” to a number corresponding with your max player count, and setting team size to “split evenly”. You then use class selector devices on each spawn pad to further dictate teams which is the key part that resolves the horrible glitch where matchmaking stacks players into teams non intendedly. depending on what your exact game set up is would determine how you would set this up. If you are still having trouble with this glitch i am willing to let you tell me your game setup and ill tell you what you must do to fix it for you :slight_smile: i can’t believe this glitch still has never been resolved, which is why i resolved it myself!

Yeah I knew about the teams workaround but unfortunately it’s not suitable because it stops the HUD scoreboard working (It just shows Team 1, Team 2 etc) - that’s more important to me to show the player names than the result.

If your still struggling with this glitch your welcome to friend request me on PS or on fort, they are both Thoughtpool. or message me back here and try your best to explain what your game is, your exact game setup and i can try my best to respond with the exact way to fix it through what you’ve told me is your set up.

Yeah, thanks I don’t need help with it - I know the workaround but it isn’t suitable because of the scoreboard in the hud info box showing team names.

i found a way that fixes all of that. I kept fixing one thing and breaking another trying to reverse the glitch cause epic still hasnt, but i finally cracked it. are you on fort? we can talk in chat if you want me to help you fix it rn im only reprogramming my other islands FFA this new way

If you don’t have the island on FFA, the HUD Info scoreboard will only show team name - it’s just the way it works. There isn’t a workaround for it. Thanks though.

No problem man! I just know how frustrated i have been with this which is why I’m so willing to try helping now after seeing your post. I know how to bypass your scoreboard issue as well. my game is FFA but set to a team number instead of using the FFA setting, and my scoreboard still only shows each persons name with no associated team. It appears as a normal FFA scoreboard, while still successfully getting rid of that glitch that says “draw” each round, and your round wins record as normal… If you haven’t given up yet on those games and need them fixed still just lmk, I did find a way to crack the glitch that works all around, including your scoreboard issue!

Also I have only been a publisher for about 3 mo. and wouldnt mind becoming friends on fort with other creators ( i have none yet lol)

It might show fine on the main scoreboard but I mean the hud scoreboard under the minimap, there is no fix using teams for the on screen hud scoreboard.

I’m not sure if you’re using verse but I do know that the “Last Man Standing” setting does work.
Would that setting work for the way your game is set up?

Honestly, i havent got this issue anymore. It was a bug for a while that any islands set to FFA would end in a draw but i believe it works okay now.

glad to hear that. Well hey as a new creator i’m still looking for other creator friends trying to branch out and play with people who are into creating and publish games like me. I figure maybe we could share ideas or have people to discuss creative glitches with at times, maybe even promote eachother and stuff like that… i usually post people’s stuff in my maps to promote. I don’t have a large following but the times my maps have gone in discover i get a few thousand those days for plays… anyone interested in being friends lmk =) Epic - Thoughtpool feel free to add me!

Can highly recommend the official fortnite creative discord to meet/make friends with other creators!
