Summary
About 2 months ago during a fortnite update my maps started freezing players games after they selected them. The freeze lasts for about 5 seconds, then the game continues as normal. I did not make any updates at the time and they never had this problem before. The maps are made on creative 1.0. The issue also is for everyone (including me), not just a handful of players. Any idea on what might’ve happen and how I could make it so the maps don’t cause the players games to freeze in lobby?
So far I tried:
- changing the maps lobby background
- creating a new map (has the same issue)
- removing the maps lobby background

Additional Notes
In the report, I have linked the minigames map since that is what my community players the most. But the issue can be recreated on any of my other maps as well.
I understand that majority of the time, especially in the tech field, is something fixes itself or works we let it be. But because of this players are choosing to avoid my maps and play other maps. I would appreciate any help or information on this. Thank you ![]()
