On this page
Content for levels now downloads before matchmaking, allowing players to load into creative islands much faster! Creator Portal now shows Accolades and Analytics device activation data to all team members. Have fun discovering LEGO® Spring content and the updated Assembly device. Seaport Prefabs and Galleries are here, along with new weapons and items! Don’t forget to check out the latest Verse code snippets to bring more functionality to your islands. Level up your knowledge with the Mission Selection Screen tutorial and brand new device design examples!
Content Downloads Pre-Matchmaking
---------------------------------
Before matchmaking starts, all players in the lobby will download the content needed to play an Unreal Editor for Fortnite experience. Previously, this download would happen once the player connected to the server — but now it happens before matchmaking. This will help players load into the island faster for those with slower internet connections or for players on mobile devices.
Matchmaking will not start until all party members have downloaded the required content to play. This improves the experience for large islands because players won't be joining as late, and players won't be left in the lobby while their party members travel to the game.
Creator Portal Metrics Updates
------------------------------
Accolades and Analytics device activation data is now available in the Creator Portal through your Project Analytics tab. This allows all team members with access to analytics to view device data regardless of who placed the devices.
Brand Island Updates
--------------------
### LEGO® Updates
#### Project Spring
Spring is here! With the new LEGO Spring Content, you can add festive flora and fun to your LEGO island. These galleries consist of 47 spring-festival themed props — think trees, flower stalls, picnic tables, benches, and more.
* Two new prefabs:
* Spring Market
* Spring Playground
* Two new galleries:
* Spring Celebration Prop Gallery
* Spring Woodland Nature Gallery
#### Assembly Device
The Assembly device has gotten some quality-of-life updates! You can now select volume shapes — you’ve got three options. In UEFN, there’s a new setting for previewing material so you can customize the holographic preview.
### Rocket Racing Secondary Tracks
Secondary tracks can now be located anywhere in the map without affecting respawns! Secondary tracks in Rocket Racing (RR Track), which are tracks players can only get to by teleporting, can now be marked as **Is Independent**.

New Verse Code Snippets
-----------------------
Check out the latest Verse snippets added to the [Snippets Repository](https://uefn-docs.yuzulabs.dev/community/fortnite/snippets)! Snippets are ready-made, copy-pastable code blocks that you can bring into your existing projects to add custom functionality.
[**Heaps and Heapsort:**](https://uefn-docs.yuzulabs.dev/community/snippets/Gw1G/fortnite-heaps-and-heapsort) A parametric type implementation of priority queues using Min-Heaps, including Heapsort, an application of priority queues for sorting arrays. Common applications of priority queues include pathfinding algorithms on graph structures such as Dijkstra's algorithm or A\* pathfinding algorithm.
[**Matrices:**](https://uefn-docs.yuzulabs.dev/community/snippets/bO9r/fortnite-matrices) A Verse library containing an implementation of float matrices, including: matrix addition and multiplication, transposition, inversion, determinants, and solving systems of linear equations.
[**Graphs:**](https://uefn-docs.yuzulabs.dev/community/snippets/2WVO/fortnite-graphs) A Verse library implementation of integer and float edge-weighted graphs, including methods for generating random graphs and an implementation of Dijkstra's path algorithm that uses both the Graphs and Heaps libraries. You can use edge-weighted graphs to represent distances or costs of traveling between objects in your game. Dijkstra's algorithm finds the shortest or lowest cost path between any two objects.

**New:**
* Added a Search functionality to the metrics tree view for the Spatial Profiler.

* Fixed a crash that occurred when accepting the Duplicate tool on a volume.
Scene Graph Update
------------------

-----------------------
### API Updates
**New:**
* Change `(Verse.org/SpatialMath:)GetYawPitchRollDegrees` to return a `tuple(float, float, float)` instead of a `[]float`.
