Summary
I was wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue on their Fortnite creative map. This issue randomly started happening about a year ago after a Fortnite update, I had no idea what it was so I decided to wait and see if anyone else brought up the issue with a fix. 1 year later, still nothing on this bug.
The bug:
When you lose the round you get this UI that pops up in the middle of the screen saying “You placed 2” and then it slides up and gets stuck there for the rest of the game and requires you to hold right click in order to move your camera. I’ve gone into UEFN and deleted everything that would make that UI pop up but the problem STILL persists.
Does anyone have a fix for this???

Additional Notes
This issue started occurring around March 2024 and seems related to recent changes in how round transitions are handled in UEFN. The bug happens consistently on maps that use round-based logic, even when no Round Settings Device is placed. The “You placed 2” UI remains stuck on screen until the player leaves the match, and camera movement is only possible while holding right-click.
