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.

How to Turn on Nintendo Switch
On a different topic, Nintendo Switch users might be experiencing problems when starting up their devices. This article suggests three ways to troubleshoot the problem.
Switch users are advised to plug and charge their Switch, especially when it is completely drained. They are also recommended to perform a hard reset on the device.
If none of these strategies work, the users should inspect their power adapter for signs of damage.
Lastly, they can try submitting their gaming console for a fix with one of Nintendo's authorized repair shops.
