FORT-1126454 has been ‘Closed’ as a duplicate of an existing known issue. Origin Issue: FORT-1118772

FORT-1118772 is ‘Closed’ as ‘Fixed’. The issue will be addressed in 41.30.

Can this be pushed to UEFN Direct as a fix or do we have to wait for the next Fortnite update ? Always hated this part of the system :sob:

It will come with the next update that is scheduled for July 30th, I wish I had better news :sob:
