Priority: High / Urgent.. Failed to sync: "No project is currently associated with '/crc@fortnite.com/_'" – Verse path stuck as "_" on published island

Summary

After converting my published island from Creative 1.0 to UEFN, I can’t launch or sync the project. The Creator Portal shows the primary Verse path as “_” and I can’t change it because the island is published. Epic Support confirmed they lack the backend access to fix it.

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Creator Portal

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a published island originally made in Creative 1.0 (code 0736-1280-3933).
  2. Convert/import the island into UEFN.
  3. Click Launch Session / Play in UEFN.
  4. Open the Creator Portal and check the project’s primary Verse path.
  5. Try to assign a new Verse path in the portal.

Expected Result

UEFN syncs the project and launches. The primary Verse path should be /crc@fortnite.com/aftersevenyearss, bound to the active module 10508516-4d66-44ea-af97-ca6e891cece3.

Observed Result

UEFN blocks launch with: “Failed to sync project ‘aftersevenyearss’ with content service. Error: No project is currently associated with '/crc@fortnite.com/'".
The Creator Portal shows the primary Verse path as "/crc@fortnite.com/
”. Changing it fails with: “Cannot assign new verse path to a published project”.
The Modules tab lists a legacy module (df92ea51…, 2021) and the active UEFN module.
Reverting to Creative 1.0 and converting again gives the same “_” path.

Additional Notes

  • Epic Support (ticket #27144975) confirmed they don’t have backend access to fix this and referred me to the forums.
  • This is a published island with an active player base, so I can’t recreate it under a new code without losing its stats and players.
  • The issue is reproducible: reverting to Creative 1.0 and converting again produces the same “/crc@fortnite.com/_” path.
  • Another creator reported the same error in the official UEFN Discord (#development-help), so this may affect other converted islands.
  • The Modules tab shows two modules (a legacy one from 2021 and the active UEFN one), and I suspect the path binding is attached to the wrong module.
  • Requested fix: manually clear the “_” path and bind /crc@fortnite.com/aftersevenyearss to the active module.
