Summary

When Custom Items & Inventory is enabled on a UEFN island, some items stop working or cannot be used properly.

Items affected so far:

Please investigate whether the custom inventory system is preventing these items from activating or functioning correctly. There may be more affected items that I haven’t discovered yet.

Additional Notes

There may be more affected items that I haven’t discovered yet.

if you respawn with those items in the inventory the items get removed, but they are still occuping the slot but you cant see it cause it looks empy and cant switch to it, so it remains useless all the game session

I am also experiencing this issue on my published island: 8751-5663-4404

Items I have found so far that are bugged:

  • Wingsuit
  • Wings of Icarus
  • Bass Boost
  • Nitro Splash
  • Seven Sliders
  • Shock Rock

And I am sure there are other bugged items that I haven’t found yet.

There also seems to be an issue with picking up/dropping items. Notice the Slurp Juice is deleted when I picked it up in this example clip.
