🚨 Fortnite Ecosystem v40.30 Known Issues

📅 April 27, 2026
📢 From Epic (UEFN Developer Forums)

📊 XP Calibration Update (BIG)

XP is moving to a multi-stage system
• No more waiting for full calibration
• Islands now shift from playtime XP → accolade XP over time
• Smaller islands can earn XP earlier
• If XP is out of balance, your island moves BACK stages instead of losing XP completely

👉 More consistent early earnings, but still performance-driven

⚠️ Known Issue

🔸 Air Vent Device
• Does NOT launch players when using “Enabled on Phase”
Workaround: Set to “None”, Enable through Verse

🛠 Fix targeted for v40.40 (May 14)

🛠 Top Community Fixes
• Fixed weapon fire rate issues (Weapon Grantor)
• Fixed Custom Inventory UI not showing on mobile
• Fixed HUD Controller minimap issues
• Fixed Star Wars chest visuals
• Fixed Atmospheric Seagull VFX

⚠️ What Creators Are Still Seeing
• Custom Inventory swap delay / UX issues
• Discovery + campaign approval problems
• Some systems still unstable

👉 Big Picture
Epic is actively improving:

• Device reliability
• Cross-platform UI
