What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Island Settings

Summary

Rounds in some Round Based Games do not progress to Round 2 after the post game summary of Round 1.

Quick Fix:

I may have found a quick fix to at least allow games to progress further: In the “Island Settings” of the game, changing the “Round Winner Display Time” and “Round Score Display Time” both to “0.0” allowed the game to progress. Having either of them with a time caused the game to time out.

Steps to Reproduce

Load into Go Goated (3305-1551-7747) or Bio’s Trio Zone Wars (4059-2791-0712)
Play the Round; due to the bug, it should be a fresh game
Play until the round ends; the scoreboard will display and the next round countdown will reach 0. The game will freeze and players will be kicked to the lobby.

Expected Result

The Round will progress to Round 2

Observed Result

The Round does not progress to Round 2; players are kicked to the lobby with a Network Connection Error

It could be related to this https://x.com/FortniteStatus/status/1755206055661809918?s=20 but we are looking into this. Thank you for the report.

To add to this information: My game stops working too, but I don’t have a round system and the stops working happens at the initialization point.

What TheBoyDilly and my problem have in common is the presence of UI, his solution to the problem is to not display the UI at the end of the round, my solution to the problem is to not display the UI completely through verse ui. I hope you fix my problem too.

Interesting! What’s your map code I’d like to check it out! Are you having a Verse Driven UI pop up at the start of the round?

We add a custom UI verse at the very beginning of the game, we have at least 3 screen additions and 10+ early canvas initializations. Not sure if I can post the island code here

We’ve added this to the known issues thread: Fortnite Ecosystem v28.20 with Known Issues - #3 by Flak

Thank you Flak!

The status of UCB-1246 incident has been moved from ‘Needs Triage’ to ‘Closed’. Resolution Reason: ‘Won’t Fix’

Cannons in the sky also has this issue. Hoping for the official fix.

Can confirm that I’m getting the same issue on my Map, never able to proceed to the 2nd round, any workaround for this issues?

edit: workaround by disabled the end round scoreboard UI in the IslandSetting

I played my map on Nintendo Switch ( different platform than where I noticed the issue ) and it appears I can progress to the next round. Is the issue fixed for you can you check?
