Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

My Fortnite Creative placement tools and textures become corrupted after a few days of use. Reinstalling Fortnite temporarily fixes the issue for 2–3 days, but the problem always returns. This includes:

textures reverting to the wrong material

props snapping incorrectly

floating props refusing to stay in place

some objects loading with incorrect states

The issue appears to be tied to my Creative profile, not my device. It started after my internet disconnected during a Creative session.

Repro steps:

1. Build normally in Creative

2. After a few days, textures and placement tools begin malfunctioning

3. Reinstalling Fortnite temporarily fixes the issue

4. After 2–3 days, the issue returns again

Additional notes:
This issue only affects my account. Other players do not see the same behavior on the same island.

Additional Notes

This issue appears to be tied specifically to my Creative profile. The bug started immediately after my internet disconnected during a Creative session, and since then the issue always returns after 2–3 days even after reinstalling Fortnite. It affects multiple islands and persists across sessions. No other players have been involved in building on the island, so all observations are from my own account.
