- Fixed an issue during testing where pressing Play again after a match would receive some changes to the editor.

poetry
repair:
- Truncate the names of tuples created during code generation so that they remain safely under the FName limit. This is done by allowing the initial part of the name to remain unchanged, but using SHA256 to hash any characters that exceed the limit and append them to the name.
- Lowered the threshold for hashing overly long Verse tuple names, as the asset registry also adds its own special prefix, which can cause such names to exceed the FName limit, causing the cook to fail.
Fortnite game modes and development
Fortnite offers three different game modes, each sharing similar graphics, art assets, and mechanics. Save the World is a player-versus-environment co-op mode where four players work together to achieve a common goal and battle zombie-like husks in a post-apocalyptic world. Battle Royale is a player versus player mode for up to 100 players competing to be the last player or team standing.
Due to the storm, the map shrinks and player encounters become more intense. “Creative” serves as a sandbox mode that gives players the freedom to create diverse gameplay on their own personal islands. Players can search for resources and build buildings in all modes. Battle Royale and Creative are free games, while Save the World is a paid game.
The game is monetized through V-Bucks, an in-game currency used to purchase cosmetics and battle passes. The development of “Fortnite” began as an internal game development in 2011, combining the construction game and shooter genres. The game’s release marked a shift to a games-as-a-service model, with “Save the World” becoming a premium title in June 2020.
The battle royale mode was developed in response to the success of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and quickly grew in popularity, leading to separate development teams for each mode. Launched in 2018, Creative Mode allows players to build and customize their own islands.
