Hey w14ks, Maybe all it needs is a rebuild of the HLODs for the new update. ---

I have a plan maybe I make a new project duplicate the reload project put it on the new project and see from there and delete all the devices Does a duplicated project change the world settings when you set that as the main level? ---

Nevermind am guessing it’s something on the map that’s messing it all up, Even in the editor the FPS is low and it’s lagging, It seems all new islands have that new hold thing so it can’t be that ![Screenshot 2024-11-26 210050](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/3/7/5376bde67eb31b2a7bca41131638fc61b78450f0.png) they look right? ---

No… hmmmm The HLOD Setups HLOD Layer and the Default HLOD Layer are both empty… An update must have needed to clear the values for some reason ??? Point them back to your current HLOD Layer ---

I had some time I got the island working no longer crashes but its very lagy unfortunately I had to sacrifice a lot of deviceing that made the island work and I deleted the rivers lakes and ocean but now I’m going to restart adding and redoing some stuff that I’ve deleted. hope this goes well 🙏 ---

Feels like I get a BSOD on first launch of the day regardless of the project, usually at the Easy Anti Cheat Phase. Second attempt gives no BSOD, but disconnects editor, so I shut down fortnite, third time I get in. I think UEFN has still got some stability issues, hopefully it will get sorted soon. ---
