Unable to Launch Mobile Preview (this PC) - Critical (blocks mobile issue resolution)

Summary

Mobile Preview (This PC) crashes Fortnite immediately on launch, making it impossible to test mobile-specific gameplay, UI, or input issues. Due to Fortnite Mobile being unavailable in the UK, this completely blocks my ability to debug or fix reported mobile-only issues affecting live players.

HI @postboxpat , in the UK at 15th December 2025 GMT 22:58

Using the UEFN Feature Example In Island Transactions when using

Launch → Mobile Preview →iPhone →Tablet → iOS High the session disconnects from Fortnite with Loading into your Edit Profile just waiting finally UEFN Launch status is

session disconnected.

Fortnite needs to be manually close using Close Window from Taskbar.

Here is the UEFN/Fortnite logs

They have been renamed after checking in Notepad and saved as new name

My guess Suggest iOS version problem as it starts on real Android phone and starts on non Tablet

Android Common emulation
