@ImmatureGamer Happy birthday! 🎉

Birthday today 🎉 Honestly just thankful. For my kids, my wife, the friendships, the community, and being able to wake up every day and create in an industry I genuinely love. Appreciate everyone who’s supported me along the way 💚

@GoodOpinion_ Hey there, the team is working on updated Discovery documentation. We’ll share more once we have additional information.

@FNCreate When will you guys update the Discovery Document so creators know how it works ? its been over a week and no one knows what Key Metrics to aim for ?

@FrostbyteMaps Thank you! Someone will take a look.

@FNCreate Just posted it. Here's the link: forums.unrealengine.com/t/critical-mat… Our maps are 100% clean but completely unplayable due to this glitch. We’d really appreciate it if you could flag this for the engineering team for an urgent review. Thanks for the help!!

How is this fair? We spent months on these maps, followed every rule, and now some bug is destroying my work and income. My maps are 100% clean—no bans, no warnings—but players just can't join. Almost everyone is getting a "connection error", This is a platform-breaking glitch and if it’s happening to us, it can happen to you next. PLEASE RT and tag @FNCreate below. We need a real human from the engineering team to fix this matchmaking failure immediately!

Custom Inventory & Items is available now. Try the Lightsaber Workbench to see how it all fits together, then build your own. We can't wait to see what you create.

"What gets me excited is what creators can do with this. The workbench is just one example. Because this is all Verse and Scene Graph, you could expand it or build something totally different from scratch: a randomized lightsaber generator, a personality quiz that picks your saber for you, a component shop, or a progression system where your Jedi grows in power the more they play." The Custom Inventory & Items system was designed to be flexible enough that creators can take it in any direction they want."

We sat down with Epic Engineering Lead Aidan McDu to discuss how the new Custom Lightsaber system was built in UEFN. Using Custom Inventory & Items and Verse, players can create their own lightsaber with unique hilts, crystals, Force abilities, and more. Here's how the team brought customizable lightsabers to Fortnite 🧵:

@PokeasyFN @Flak hey there! If you haven't already, please kick off a forum post so the team can take a look: forums.unrealengine.com/tags/c/172/for…

@Flak @FNCreate On top of that we’ve encountered a new issue that’s particularly difficult to diagnose since we don’t have access to cook logs or any similar data that might help identify the cause of it

It’s wild that this issue has been around for nearly a year and still hasn’t been fixed It’s a big reason I haven’t released a new map yet they’ve said multiple times the cook error would be fixed and there’s still nothing at all @Flak @FNCreate could we please see a fix

An island worthy of the Jedi archives📜

@ElectricCloud55 @FortniteStatus Thanks for the details. They've been shared with the team.

This still does not appear to be resolved in-game. More details: Since mid-February, the Homebar in Discover has not rotated properly (specifically the last 6 islands). The overhaul to Discover changed all other Discover rows but the Homebar was not changed, thus still being broken. It appears to be showing islands with the highest number of impressions, which is causing an infinite loop since the Homebar gives a high number of impressions. Popular islands do not show either — since they hit the impression limit almost instantly due to existing players counting as impressions via Recents, etc. The same few islands are shown each day in the same order, resetting at about 8-9pm ET every day.

Hey @FNCreate @FortniteStatus, The Homebar is not rotating properly, specifically the last 6 islands. Discover’s overhaul changed other rows, but Homebar is still unchanged and broken. Some islands show for almost 24h straight.

@TryH4rd_Gaming Should be quickly approved if it hasn't been already. Thanks for posting, someone will take a look!

@FNCreate I posted. I never used forums before. But it says its waiting for approval @FNCreate

SO MANY ISSUES..😡 @FNCreate FYI: Lots of glitches ignored in Fortnite Creative, like trying to get into a session with people in Creative doesn’t work, you have to give them party leader to join. 😤 #UEFN #FortniteCreative #Fortnite #Bug forums.unrealengine.com/t/fnc-sessions…

@TryH4rd_Gaming Hey there! Please make a post in the forums if you haven't already so the team can take a look. forums.unrealengine.com/tags/c/172/for…

@Noahgamer759 @SEuniverse0 @FNCreate It still does it for me.

The Force is strong with this island...
