Steps to Reproduce

Hello,

I have a published UEFN project, but I’m experiencing a serious Editing Session issue.

UEFN shows my current/latest map correctly, but when I launch an Editing Session in Fortnite, it loads the original starter template I used when I first created the project.

Things I have already tried:

  • Refreshing the Editing Session.
  • Starting a new session.
  • Fully cooking/preparing the project.
  • Restarting UEFN, Fortnite, and my PC.
  • Checking in my latest changes to Revision Control.
  • Syncing the latest revision.
  • Moving the project to a different location and syncing it again.

None of these fixed the issue.

The Session Monitor also shows that the session preparation completes successfully, but Fortnite still loads the old starter map.

UEFN = current map
Fortnite Editing Session = original starter map

The island is already published, so I do not want to delete or republish it.

Issue started: ~3 days ago

Expected Result

The Fortnite Editing Session should load the latest version of my map shown in UEFN.

Observed Result

The Editing Session loads the original starter template that was used when the project was first created, while UEFN correctly shows the current modified map.

Additional Notes

I have already tried refreshing the session, starting a new session, fully cooking the project, restarting UEFN/Fortnite/PC, checking in the latest changes, syncing the latest revision, and moving the project to a different location and syncing it again.

The issue still occurs. UEFN consistently shows the current map, but the Fortnite Editing Session loads the original starter template.

The project is already published, so I do not want to delete or republish the island. Please let me know if there is a way to completely rebuild or reset the Editing Session data.
