Summary

I am trying to run my first Playtest session. I have a private version uploaded and memory checked. I have a Playtest group. Under playtest it says “Active” and has a green button. When I or my playtester enter the playtest code into the custom code box nothing happens upon pressing accept. Am I missing something?

Steps to Reproduce

I tried logging into a UEFN session with my playtester running the code and I tried us both entering the code from a non-UEFN editor run Fortnite launch.

Expected Result

Matchmaking to start or something to show that the code was accepted and then the game becomes playable at the top launch window.

Observed Result

The cued up previous game mode doesn’t change and there is no error. Nothing happens after I press accept and the Custom Code window goes away.

Platform(s)

windows, Playstation 5

You’re putting the code into the “custom key” section, which serves the purpose of getting into private lobbies for pre-existing games. To use your playtest code, click on the magnifying glass in the top left to get to the search bar, then paste your code into there and press enter. I know it’s been a couple weeks since you posted this, but I had the same issue thinking things were completely broken so hopefully someone will find this answer and not have to suffer the same fate of finding no answer online.
