What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Devices

Summary

When a mutator zone is placed and the movement multiplier is set to zero, disabling the device does not remove the effects the device had on the movement.

Steps to Reproduce

Place a mutator zone down in the world
Set the movement multiplier to 0.0
Disable the mutator zone with verse in uefn, an event, or a function in-game.
Try to move player

Expected Result

Once the mutator zone has been disabled, the player should be able to move freely or equal to the speed before the mutator zone changed their movement.

Observed Result

Player cannot move once the mutator zone has been disabled.

Platform(s)

I am reporting this for pc, but it does not work on my PS5 either.

I have encountered this same issue in Creative Fortnite on PC. Even when mutator zone devices are set to be disabled, the effect seems to persist on the player.

I also noticed that mutator zones set to a movement multiplier of 0.0 and with “affects creatures” set to on, no longer stop the movement of Creatures.

A Mutator zone previously freezing Megabrutes spawned in by Creature Spawners - no longer freezes the Megabrutes in place.

[CRITICAL] Mutator Devices do not disable at all since v28.10 Update (Rendering any game that disallows player movement broken)

Please select what you are reporting on: Unreal Editor for Fortnite What Type of Bug are you experiencing? Devices Summary Mutator Devices do not disable at all since v28.10 Update. Once a Mutator Device has been enabled in-game, it either can’t be disbled, or it’s effects remain on the player. In instances such as a “Pause Function” or when disallowing player movement for cinematics, the player will not regain movement as usual. I have tried to disable Mutator Devices with Triggers, Timers…

Saaame! Touch wood for a quick fix!

I found a workaround, but it isn’t ideal if you are using weapons. You can use a gameplay_controls_third_person_device(Control: Third-Person in the editor) to stop a player’s movement. When it is disabled or removed, the player can move normally again. However, if you are using weapons, like in my game, you lose control of your mouse, which is a big problem for aiming. For most creators, this should be a good solution.
