World Building

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open existing UEFN project in Unreal Editor for Fortnite 5.6
  2. Wait for project to load
  3. Observe that the 3D viewport is completely black
  4. Open Outliner - actors are listed correctly
  5. Open World Partition - all cells appear dark/unloaded
  6. Press F in viewport - no response
  7. Try Alt+2, Alt+3, Alt+4 for viewport modes - no response

Expected Result

The 3D viewport should display the map content
and all World Partition cells should load correctly.

Observed Result

The viewport is completely black. Actors exist in the
Outliner but nothing is visible. World Partition cells
appear unloaded. Viewport shortcuts (F, Alt+2, Alt+4)
do not respond. All Map Check errors have been resolved
(streaming mismatches and illegal asset references fixed).

Additional Notes

I think this issue appeared suddenly. Before this session the map
was loading correctly. Map Check shows 0 errors after fixes.
UEFN version 5.6

Hi Pandux,

I don’t think your viewport window is open at all. - The ‘grabbable’ tab is usually hidden and manifests as a tiny blue triangle in the upper-left corner of the viewport.

Try Window → Viewports → Enable Viewport #

or

Window → Load Layout → Default Editor Layout
