The Stutter Build Bug is suddenly occurring in my maps.

Summary

The bug initially appeared on my “Malaya Red vs Blue” map a long time ago and has now affected my other Zone Wars maps after “FRESH VALLEY ZONE WARS”. These maps were previously played (build edit) without any issues, and I have made no changes to their mechanics or my device settings. However, after recent game updates, the stuttering has appeared on my latest map, “BEEKKK ZONE WARS” Does anyone know of a solution? Thank you.

This is a video demo of me changing the build resources from finite to infinite, and you can see the stuttering build bug. This should not be happening! and i dont want this map build resources set to infinite because this is Zone Wars map which usually at 750 mats. This bug appeared after the update, and I didn’t change anything in the game mechanics, devices, etc.

Island Settings

Steps to Reproduce

I’ve created a simple Zone Wars map. Previously, I used more complex settings (such as player counter devices to end the game), but I have now made a simpler version. However, the problem persists.

  1. Island Settings:

  • Build resources set to 750.

  • Infinite build resources: Disabled.

  • 100 rounds.

  • Game ends when the last player is standing.

  1. Team & Inventory Settings (Devices):

  • 5 devices are used to create 4 teams, plus 1 team for the initial spawn before players select a team.

  • Team indexes 1-4 are for player teams. Team index 5 is for the initial spawn/default team.

  • The build resource settings are managed in the Island Settings, not in these devices.

  • Team devices for indexes 1-4 grant items (materials and ammo) to players after they have selected a team.

  1. Teleporters:

  • After selecting a team, players are teleported to a secondary lobby to wait for the game countdown.

  • Once the countdown ends, they are teleported to the Zone Wars weapon lobby area to start the game.

Expected Result

Players should be able to build and edit smoothly. This is a simple, plain map that should not have performance issues, and the stutter bug should not have reappeared without me changing any device mechanics or settings.

Observed Result

The stutter build bug suddenly occurred some time ago, likely after a Fortnite update. The building mechanic stutters only when a player places any build part (e.g., a wall, ramp, etc.), as you can see in the video. When I set the build resources to infinite, the stuttering disappears.
