Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

(2021) Bug - Save the World - Unable to load into Ventures games mode but I can load into all other world maps fine. BUG

This thread was added on April 27, 2021, with posts from Magyst.

Original Post

I had been playing Ventures for about three days without any problems and have reached power level 42, but now get a ‘Network error’ message. While playing Ventures with a few friends we completed the mission, we then loaded a different mission but I was unable to load into the Ventures game world waiting for the progress bar to be displayed on the screen that states ‘connecting’, but my friends had no problems. I can still load and play all other maps without any problems.

  1. After pressing X to launch a venture's mission on the next screen that states "Connecting..." I do not get to see the 'progress bar' and an error screen is displayed stating "Network connection lost".
  2. I play on my Xbox platform but have the same issue on my laptop with the same account.
  3. My last successful game was completed over the daily map refresh time, but I had no problems completing that mission.
  4. Please note I am able to load into and complete all other maps (Stonewood, Plankerton ...).
  5. I have a second account on the same device that can load all maps fine.
  6. I have tried a number of options provided by the support team, but am unable to resolve this issue.

Are you still encountering this issue after this morning's update?

Juulpowered

Yes. The issue persists.

Edit: For the record, I'm not the one affected. I've been helping /u/anna1314mee deal with support for the full day now after she's been trying to get it resolved for 2 weeks.

Thank you u/Juulpowered. I've got some people taking a look into this.

u/anna1314mee can you check your reddit DM's for me please? Thank you!

u/Magyst Can you update us on the problem?

u/A0DoubleEdge We're still looking at this issue. This is a relatively rare issue that causes this and is often related to overloaded Ventures weapons / storage. I've got some engineers taking a look at this as we speak.

Hey u/A0DoubleEdge, u/Juulpowered, u/anna1314mee , u/Cap1tan_Harl0ck, u/slimboyphat

An update for this issue. This is due to the ventures backpack being heavily overloaded with weapons. Please submit a ticket to player support with "Unable to load into Ventures" and they will start lightening your inventory by converting lower tier / level items first.

If you already have a ticket in for this, Player Support with get you resolved and respond to your ticket.

Thank you and apologies on the delay.
