Hello Fortnite developers,
Update: Follow a Developer on Exit Flow
In v40.40, we added the option for players to follow a developer in the Exit sidebar when leaving an island. With v41.10 (June 25), we will introduce the previously announced change (40.20 Fortnite Ecosystem Updates and Release Notes | Fortnite Documentation | Epic Developer Community) to remove the Follow a Developer button from the Developer Profile Link device—the device itself will still be usable and existing follower counts are not affected.
These updates give players a consistent way to follow their favorite developers across Fortnite and prevent differences in how developers use the device from influencing follower counts.
If you direct players to the device to follow your profile today, you’ll need to update those callouts before v41.10 on June 25.
Update: /UnrealEngine.com/SceneGraph Verse path no longer compiles
v41.00 fixes a bug where using { /UnrealEngine.com/SceneGraph } would incorrectly compile in Verse. Projects that reference this path will no longer compile and should use using { /Verse.org/SceneGraph } instead. This change ships with v41.00 (June 6).
Reminder: Illegal Property Override warnings become errors in v41.00
In v40.00, we fixed a bug that caused incomplete hidden property validation, meaning you may see Illegal property override warnings. These warnings will become errors in v41.00. Validation errors will prevent you from launching a session and from publishing.
v41.00 Known Issues:
Here are known issues that will be introduced with v41.00. We’ll update this thread as fixes roll out or timelines change.
Live Edit
We’re tracking several Live Edit issues in v41.00, all targeted for a fix in v41.10 (June 25):
- Using Refresh Session while the game is paused can stop the Escape key from opening the menu, leaving you stuck in live view, or cause the session to time out and return an error.
- Workaround: Force close and relaunch the client if stuck in live view.
- If you close a Live Edit session while the game is paused, the Pause and Resume buttons will appear in each other’s positions in your next session.
- Switching to another project while a Live Edit session is still active returns an error.
- After you use the Scatter tool in UEFN, the Push Changes button doesn’t trigger.
- Workaround: Hit the Refresh button to update the session.
UEFN entering idle mode can disconnect Spatial Profiler sessions
- If UEFN goes idle (showing “Press any key to continue”), Spatial Profiling sessions can disconnect and stay unavailable until you restart UEFN.
- Restarting UEFN will resolve the issue.
- Fix targeted for v41.10 (June 25)
Memory Snapshot button is grayed out
- The Memory Snapshot button stays grayed out until the Spatial Profiler has been opened at least once during a session
- Workaround: Open the Spatial Profiler, then access Memory Snapshot
- Fix targeted for v41.10 (June 25)
Some Shotguns only load 2 shots per reload
- Several Shotguns only reload 2 shots at a time instead of filling the magazine. The reload animation may also not play.
- Affected Shotguns: Auto Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, High Stakes’ Shotgun, Megalo Don’s Modular Combat Shotgun, Modular Combat Shotgun, Prime Shotgun, and Wood Stake Shotgun.
- Fix targeted for v41.10 (June 25) at the latest
Sun bloom may be exaggerated on Switch
- On Switch, some locations may render overly bright with a strong tint.
- Fix targeted for v41.10 (June 25)
Items with a custom rarity color show the default glow when placed
- Subclassed Fortnite items that use a custom rarity color display the default rarity glow when dropped or placed in the world; the inventory UI shows the correct custom color.
- Fix targeted for v41.20 (July 16)
Health Bar from the Custom HUD device may not display correctly on PC
- In published islands, the Health Bar from the Custom HUD device may not display correctly. All other platforms are unaffected.
- Workaround: Use the default health bar instead of the Custom HUD device.
- Fix targeted for v41.10 (June 25)
