### Summary Minimap is showing up blank (blue color only, no map), both while using the Map Contoller Device, and without Map Contoller Device. Occasionally it will show a map, but only very rarely. Mostly it shows up as blank. Sometimes it will show up as “transparent” without having chosen the transparent feature in details. Even in transparent mode, the minimap shows up 99% of the time blank. Also, the big (press M) map shows up as a blue blank too. ### Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite ### What Type of Bug are you experiencing? UI/Tools ### Steps to Reproduce Create a new project using the blank island. Put a prefab or something into the project. Launch a session. ### Expected Result The minimap should show a map view of the project. A mini - map. ### Observed Result 99% of the time the minimap and map will show up blank (blue blank image). Try to correct by using the Map Contoller Device. Launch another session. 99% of the time minimap and map will show up blank (blue blank image). Once in a while the minimap will show up in transparent mode without having that option selected. In that case, the minimap is a blank dark grey image. ### Platform(s) PC 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-13900KF 3.00 GHz RAM 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable) RTX 4090 GPU ### Island Code Not published yet ### Upload an image ![Screenshot 2025-04-15 123614.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/b/1/0/b1013b4cef3401d34b3549631f3ab91af7d7a1d2.png) ### Additional Notes Please help! This is very frustrating. ---

Found out that if you publish a map, it’s resolved. ---
