Start game/End game buttons sometimes disappear for no reason in the game sidebar menu

Summary

Hello! Just wanted to report this very annoying bug that I encountered recently since last update. When I start my UEFN session, I’m used to start/end my game within the Game sidebar from Fortnite but since last update, both buttons decide randomly to not show up despite having an island settings device (sometimes they does after a new push but then after starting then ending the game, it disappear again). Since it’s happening randomly, I can’t tell you but mess with start/end game and push some verse code until it’s happening.

Please select what you are reporting on:

Unreal Editor for Fortnite

What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

UI/Tools

Steps to Reproduce

  • Start your UEFN session
  • Wait to be in game, start your game if the button are showing up.
  • End the game (if the button show up)
  • Check if start button is still there. If yes, try pushing some verse code.
  • If it’s there, start the game, end the game, start the game then at some point it may disappear.

Expected Result

Both buttons should never disappear in any way from the game sidebar

Observed Result

Both buttons are randomly vanishing which force me to start/end game within the editor instead of the game directly.

Platform(s)

Windows 10, DirectX 11

Could we get fresh logs of both UEFN and Fortnite Client after you repro?

How to get your Fortnite logs

i don’t know how to repro it literally you start the game either start button on menu or uefn and then when i ended it doesn’t then show start sometimes it never shows.

Anyways it just happened i will send logs on discord as file size on here is whack

Snip also showing the issue

PS the log link for fortnite logs isn’t a simple enough explanation as when you search it takes you to google now as its all built into the Cortana thing. Maybe explain to press windows key then r

For me couple of things happen along with this bug:

  1. The UI doesn’t show up e.g. the Tracker UI doesn’t show when this bug happens. Tracker UI only shows up only game shows END BUTTON/START BUTTON after many attempts of launching the game.
  2. The Player Character acts like in Edit mode - when I tap Spacebar twice the character floats and stuck in the floor, there is non recovery possible unless manual Respawn from settings. (this is like in Edit mode, you double spacebar to make the character float for fast traversal, this should not happen Game Mode)

I agree for the second one!

Huh what? Why is it so complicated to solve THAT bug? It’s literally easy to reproduce

@Flak can you explain us what’s that message about? We literally gave all necessary info – lol
