The 'Fortnite' update 3.44, which fixes the Support-A-Creator UI, officially dropped for PlayStation, Xbox, mobile, and PC.
Developers said they will give an update when the patch is available for Nintendo Switch.
On Monday, Jan. 24, a sudden maintenance was issued to "Fortnite" servers, which surprised some of its fans. But instead of adding new content, the patch merely resolved a bug found in its systems.
'Fortnite' Update 3.44: Bug Fix for Support-A-Creator UI
This bug was first discovered on Jan. 20, when players complained that Support-A-Creator UI was missing from pre-game lobbies of certain Creative islands.
"Fortnite" acknowledged the issue on the same date, saying they had a team investigating the issue.

Note that Support-A-Creator is a feature in Creative Mode primarily used by content creators and their fans. So, unless a player is an active supporter in the community, they might never have noticed this issue in the first place.
This means update 3.44 is a smaller scale patch when compared to the big content drops scheduled to happen this week.

A day after the bug was acknowledged, Fortnite Status tweeted that it resolved the issue for PC, Android, Xbox X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
