### Summary

When I start a game in session. All the work I just did breaks. My props flip 90 degrees for some reason.

### Please select what you are reporting on:

Creative

### What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Assets

### Steps to Reproduce

I place a bunch of wall pieces in my world. Starting and stopping the game appears to rotate all my current work 90 degrees.

### Expected Result

Should be able to place builds and have the orientation stay and not rotate

### Observed Result

Builds rotate. I was using Building as Prop: Disabled when placing these builds

### Platform(s)

PC

### Additional Notes

In the provided photos you will see the result after I start and stop a game. When I return to UEFN it appears properly but in session it has rotated my pieces 90 degrees. I can also no longer click on anything and I am forced to quit Fortnite. I have been relaunching session every 30 minutes to manage all the bugs.

There is a bug related to this post. [phone tool keeps disappearing](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/phone-tool-keeps-disappearing/2199247)

This bug post I linked is also making me restart sessions constantly.

Can confirm, this has been happening to me too!

Its NEWLY added stuff that get flipped.

So if you go into a session, THEN make some changes, only those pieces are effected.

It needs fixing ASAP!

Hello, it’s the same with me. I play on the PlayStation 5 and build my map and every time I start a session to get back on the map my walls, fences and floors turn 90 degrees. It’s not all of them, but a lot of them and it’s always upsetting to have to reposition them, as there are also bugs like my mobile phone bugging out to edit and I have to restart the session. As a result, the walls, etc. are twisted again and take up time again.

@Flak is there anyway to get this one seen but the right people? There are so many Live Edit Bugs that were introduced ever since v33 dropped. Thank you!

Todays patch (33.20) may have resolved this.

`" Fixed an issue where the transform of an actor was sometimes lost (for example, changing the rotation and losing the scale)."` from [Patch Notes](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/uefn/33-20-release-notes-in-unreal-editor-for-fortnite)
