When starting my project in UEFN this is the first error message shown.

When launching the session the first time after opening UEFN i get this error message:

LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = ConnectionTimeout, ErrorString = UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection… Elapsed: 30.00, Real: 30.00, Good: 30.00, DriverTime: 50.56, Threshold: 30.00, [UNetConnection] RemoteAddr: 18.157.30.51:15013, Name: IpConnection_0, Driver: IpNetDriver_0 IpNetDriver_0, IsServer: NO, PC: NULL, Owner: ValkyrieBeaconClient_0, UniqueId: MCP:6bd9ca02d6a744238c2068a9bc5219ed, Driver = IpNetDriver_0 IpNetDriver_0

then it connects me to the prelobby with the editor not connected and memory only loaded in for 1.285 of over 60k that my map currently has.

When i try to exit sesssion and launch it again i get just send back to the normal fortnite starting screen, while in UEFN it keep saying Session Loading.
And gives me a similar error message:

LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = ConnectionTimeout, ErrorString = UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection… Elapsed: 30.00, Real: 30.00, Good: 30.00, DriverTime: 50.54, Threshold: 30.00, [UNetConnection] RemoteAddr: 18.157.30.51:15020, Name: IpConnection_1, Driver: IpNetDriver_1 IpNetDriver_1, IsServer: NO, PC: NULL, Owner: ValkyrieBeaconClient_1, UniqueId: MCP:6bd9ca02d6a744238c2068a9bc5219ed, Driver = IpNetDriver_1 IpNetDriver_1

So after exiting the session again and starting it again it sends me into the loading screen to connect to the map
and then shows me a network connection lost screen.

With again pretty much the same error message:

LogNet: Error: UEngine::BroadcastNetworkFailure: FailureType = ConnectionTimeout, ErrorString = UNetConnection::Tick: Connection TIMED OUT. Closing connection… Elapsed: 30.00, Real: 30.01, Good: 30.01, DriverTime: 51.46, Threshold: 30.00, [UNetConnection] RemoteAddr: 18.156.217.233:15025, Name: IpConnection_2, Driver: IpNetDriver_2 IpNetDriver_2, IsServer: NO, PC: NULL, Owner: ValkyrieBeaconClient_2, UniqueId: MCP:6bd9ca02d6a744238c2068a9bc5219ed, Driver = IpNetDriver_2 IpNetDriver_2

I heard of another user that had the same problem that a file needs to be changed on the backend so please if any dev can help me?

5

It says there is a character that has been prohibited by a hotfix
character_privatejet_red ??

6

I know that it says that, but i don’t know what to do about it.

Also here is the post of the other user that had a similar problem from the looks of the logs and he said there is a file that needs to be changed on the backend.

7

correct, the dev team can change the plugin file on the backend and that should fix it. join fortnites creative discord if youre not already in there and hit up a someone in dev relations. at the very least they should be able to direct you to the right channels. there is hope! my game is working again :slight_smile: i was devastated when i found it broke :frowning:

I have reached out to several staff members on this forum and discord but nobody answers back, do you have a contact that you can give me?

Thank you for your help btw
