I’ve recently optimized a map to work on Nintento Switch. After optimizing a lot of assets it started working fine but only from UEFN session and with private island code.
The map can not be found in Discover on Nintendo Switch with island code. It’s also not visible on creator page. I guess the map was banned or locked from Switch as previously it was crashing on start due to high res textures.

On Nintendo Switch (Lite) join this map: 3533-5211-7130 https://www.fortnite.com/@kubx/3533-5211-7130
Map can be found and joined from Discover
Map can not be found with search

Hi @Kamyker
The picture below was taken with a phone. The code works on a Samsung Galaxy Android phone
Worse than not finding the island in Discover, there is a strange list of Creators associated with that number.
Will carry on testing and post any results in this post
This is using the Discovery words. Look how Nintendo Switch 1 is missing the thumbnail icon
This is PC Fortnite
Samsung Galaxy Android Discovery
The Nintendo Discovery takes a lot longer to search than the other devices

Hi, yeah so map does not appear on Nintento Switch. Btw search for “Kubx” in creators not island code.

Hi , Using Creators code fails as well. Island does not display
Played the game on my Phone, Favourite the Game, Recommend game, Follow creator.
Go back to the lobby on the phone, and the island thumbnail is being displayed.
Log out
Back to Nintendo SW1, and the island is NOT in my recently played or favourite list
Therefore, there is more than just Discover not working, Favourites and played list is blocked as well
So Epic, why is Nintendo Fortnite blocking this island completely? There are no errors in Epic Server status

@Kamyker The API seems to indicate that your map was disabled for the nintendo switch platform on purpose
Reminds me of this forum post, did you maybe have any switch specific issues with your map that would cause it to have degraded performance/crashes?
Hi everyone,
I’ve encountered a serious issue with my UEFN map that I need help resolving. My map is well within the memory limits, but players on older generation consoles (PS4, Xbox One) have reported that they couldn’t load into the map for a day or two. Eventually, I received an email from Epic Games stating that my map was disabled on certain platforms due to “crashing and out-of-memory errors.”
This is a huge problem since a large portion of my community plays on these consoles, and I’m …

Thanks, seems like Kubx managed to contact Epic in different place and it will be getting unlocked. I still wonder what’s the usual way to fix it. Cotacting Epic support or this forum?
