The Class Designer devices are no longer marked as needing to be saved when no options were adjusted.

Editor fixes

Build HLODs now generates HLODs without any errors when running UEFN with the Shipping target. Users should no longer get stuck on the Preparing phase when there is a large amount of modules present. Additionally, the project name no longer appears as the Project Title when converting a Fortnite Creative island to UEFN.

Verse updates

With UEFN v24.30, users can now spawn their custom props with Verse, in addition to being able to spawn predefined Fortnite props. Any custom prop created will behave the same way as a predefined Fortnite prop, both in code and in the editor when exposed from your Verse-authored devices.

Users can also now query the state of a fort_character, including whether they are crouching, on the ground, in the air, in water, falling, gliding, or flying.

Users can now use a transform when they call SpawnProp() and MoveTo() with their prop. vector2 and vector3 now have component-wise vector division.

Verse fixes

The update also brings fixes to several Verse issues, including the completion of TeleportTo() and MoveTo() with props, and dynamically spawned props no longer being incorrectly removed from the world. The issue with prop quota calculation has also been fixed.

Creator portal updates

A banner has been added to alert creators to manage projects as Listed or Unlisted for Creator Page visibility purposes.

Creator portal fixes

UEFN v24.30 includes several publishing flow fixes across backend systems and services, reducing instances of trouble when attempting to publish projects. Additionally, the Auto-Activate release feature now works as expected.

The "Oops!" UI state and automatic rejection/resubmission for projects where content review is taking too long (12h+) has been fixed. The empty state for the Projects page when there are no projects visible has been fixed, and projects can no longer have ownership transfers initiated when a release is pending.
