Fortnite Patchwork – Known Issues
- With the release of Fortnite Patchwork and 14 new devices, we’ve included a list of known issues and their workarounds.
|
Description |
Workaround |
|
When you or another user make changes to a Patchwork device connection, you may hear temporary audio dropouts. |
If you have the Patchwork tool equipped when this happens, you should see a progress bar with a speaker icon near your reticle. This progress bar indicates when the audio will resume. We’ll be working to reduce or remove these audio drops in the future. |
|
Patchwork audio may not play as intended during the pre-game Waiting for Player phase. |
None |
|
If you carry a Patchwork cable over a long distance, it could disappear. |
Even if the cable can’t be seen, you should still be able to connect the plug to another device. |
|
If you increase the Grid Height user option for a Note Sequencer, and then copy and paste the device, note data in rows above 8 may not be copied. |
If this occurs, try restarting your session then copying the device again. |
|
When editing sustain notes on the Note Sequencer, you might encounter issues where note input is ignored, or unexpected player camera behavior. |
If this occurs, try inputting your sustain notes again. |
|
You might see persistent sustain tail visuals when editing sustain notes on a Note Sequencer. |
Toggle the affected notes to clear the sustain tails. If you don’t clear them, they can prevent you from adding more notes. |
|
When changing the Timing Style of a Note Sequencer, the device output may go out of sync with other devices. |
If this happens, try disabling and re-enabling the device. |
|
When the Auto Page Plays Blank Pages user option is enabled on the Drum Sequencer, the device output may go out of sync with other devices. |
To avoid this, try controlling the Drum Sequencer Page knob with a Step Modulator instead of using the Auto Page option. |
|
When you patch a disabled LFO device to another device, the targeted control will be set to 0. |
After patching the LFO to a new target control, adjust the control as you normally would to set the intended value. |
|
After copying and pasting an LFO device, it may only output a value of 0. |
If this occurs, delete the affected LFO device and place another, or restart your session. |
|
When the Step Modulator is patched to a toggle switch, the VFX Preview above the device displays incorrectly. The VFX indicating toggle on and off positions are reversed. |
None needed. The device should still function as intended. |
|
If the Value Setter is patched to enable a Sequencer with Looping set to off, using the Value Setter’s Delay option may cause the Sequencer goes out of sync with other devices. |
None. |
|
When pushing changes from UEFN to a Live Edit session, Patchwork will be temporarily inaccessible and will continue to loop audio during the push process. |
None–set your Patchwork audio mix to something you like before you push your changes! |
|
When placing and moving Patchwork devices in a UEFN Live Edit session, you might encounter graphical issues like Patchwork device screen elements not moving with their devices or devices failing to open and close. |
If this occurs, pushing your changes from UEFN should fix the issues. |
|
When starting and ending a game in a UEFN Live Edit session, Patchwork cables may become invisible. |
Restarting the Live Edit session should fix this. |
|
When starting and ending a game in a UEFN Live Edit session, the key of your Patchwork audio may change unexpectedly. |
Place a Patchwork Music Manager device to prevent this from happening. |
|
After ending a game in a UEFN Live Edit session, note data on Note Sequencer devices may change unexpectedly. |
Editing any note on the device’s Note Grid should restore your note data. |
|
The values for the Patchwork Note Sequencer, LFO Modulator, and Step Modulator devices’ Rate user options do not appear in UEFN, A number entry field is shown instead. |
Set the Rate in a Live Edit session, or enter the value corresponding to the Rate you want from the list below: Rate Value 32 Bars – 128.00 16 Bars – 64.00 8 Bars – 32.00 4 Bars – 16.00 2 Bars – 8.00 1 Bar – 4.00 1/2 Note – 2.00 1/4 Note – 1.00 1/8 Note – 0.50 1/16 – 0.250 1/32 – 0.125 1/64 – 0.0625 Free – 0.0000 |
|
You may hear the wrong instrument playing if you changed the instrument on the Instrument Player and then made changes to the cable connections. |
If this occurs, disconnect and reconnect the cables. |
