Additional Notes

Just re uploading this bug issue through the UEFN help/report issue feature, as it was suggested online this is the best way to do it. Apparently it sends logs? I’ve tried every trick, deleting appdata files/folders, net resets, restarts, router settings and got our isp to look in to it. Think I’ve exhausted ideas. Any tips please?

sorry, thought I could delete my previous post on the same bug (that can be closed), and keep this one which I assume is done properly through the Editor’s Report Issue feature.

there’s an Exclamation Mark over my top right player icon in the Fortnite menu. It appeared after trying to join servers, and not being able to, after the last update. Is that possibly related to all this? This is a bit frustrating

could it be a ‘sanction’ for a mistakenly uploaded texture that somehow triggered something else during the last update? I haven’t been able to join anything. The appeal function isn’t working either???!

I’ve gone over every possible network, file, official and developer tip I can find. I’ve spent days testing and restarting and getting my ISP to review things and paying for more services. There has been no email message of any issue, no comms. What on earth is going on?

Drat. The update seemed promising but it’s gone back to 9,999m/s Region connection. Think I’ve gone through every obvious fix and reinstall. Any qualified fixes would be wonderful. Bit of a bother
