Additional Notes

in the images that i’ve included, in one of them you can see that i have the harvesting tool out but it is not visible and in the other image you can see that i had the phone tool out and it was also not visible and both where not working.

Happening to me as well. It is important to note that the phone disappearing means we can no longer click on anything or make changes.

Pushing changes does not fix the issue. I have to quit Fortnite and relaunch session every 30 minutes or so to get my phone back in live edit so I can continue to work.

starting the game and manually respawning and ending the game works for me

I would like to add that this seems to have something to do with new movement. When I sprint to test a jump my phone goes away for good.

I would like to note this does not work for me

I have found this solution.

It is usually solved by starting the game and doing a double jump to the wall.
since precisely that error occurs due to these new mechanics

I think it might be the same as [Invisible signal remote] Signal remote is transparent and can appear after player respawned

You can try and respawn to see if it appears
