We are aware that some creators are unable to start a session in UEFN.

Creators may also be receiving cooking errors when trying to push changes to UEFN islands, and players trying to join UEFN islands may receive matchmaking errors.

We are looking into these issues and will provide an update when we have more information or a fix.

Things should be getting back to normal. There may be a little queue to go through.

Hey folks, we're checking into this.

We’re experimenting with a new row in Discover called Today’s Picks for You. Starting today, a percentage of players globally will see Today’s Picks for You in Discover. The test will run for about 2 weeks and will help us gather feedback and evaluate results before considering a wider rollout.

Today’s Picks for You is a daily row that algorithmically highlights islands with strong attraction, engagement, and satisfaction with more than 5,000 unique players in the last four days.

We’ll review the row’s performance and keep you updated on any future changes.

Creators are now able to adjust how matchmaking queues behave on their islands in public matches. Check out the release notes for more details and a link to documentation.

Negan is now available as a Character in the NPC Spawner. Also in The Walking Dead Universe, the Shiva Shotgun now has a flashlight. Watch out for those dark corners!

The update also brings us weapons from Fortnite Battle Royale. The Guided Missile, Dragon’s Breath Shotgun, and Zapotron all make an appearance!

Additionally, you’ll find updates to the Item Spawner, Reboot Van and Rift Point Volume devices.

A fix is in place—server tick rates are no longer increased across islands.

This issue on Creative and UEFN islands with players being ejected from the Changing Booth has been fixed.

We’re investigating the increased server tick rate experienced across Creative and UEFN islands. This can surface as sped-up animations or sensitive user controls, among other symptoms.

We’ll report back once it’s been fixed.

This template features three adventure-style character classes. Each class includes a demo level linked to a quest system, showing you how to incorporate story-driven elements into your games or build distinct character classes.
