Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) through the Epic Games Launcher.
  2. Verify the installation using the Epic Games Launcher.
  3. Navigate to C:\Fortnite\FortniteGame\Plugins\NiagaraFN\Content.
  4. Observe that the folder is empty.
  5. Open UEFN, and attempt to access the “Edit” menu or interact with plugins.
  6. The editor freezes or glitches when interacting with menus or features.

Expected Result

The plugin folders (e.g., NiagaraFN/Content) should be populated with the required files, allowing Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) to load and function without freezing or glitches. All menus, including the “Edit” menu, should open normally, and no assets or plugins should be missing.

Observed Result

The plugin folders, including NiagaraFN/Content, are empty after installation or verification. As a result, UEFN freezes or becomes unresponsive when attempting to interact with certain menus or features. The Message Log displays errors related to missing files and plugins.
