Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

Hey cruzter,

I'm sorry to read you're experiencing these issues. I've gone ahead and sent you a direct message. Please go ahead and update me with your case number.

Thanks!

Dragon Weapons
 
In Patch 2.5 we introduced a data error that caused the newly created Dragon Weapons to ignore our normal perk rules. We immediately started hearing from you about weapons that were extremely underpowered, loaded up with nothing but low-rarity “gray” perks. We fixed the error in Patch 3.0, so that all weapons dropped after that point had sets of perks that were valid, but that change alone didn’t help the players who had already earned one of those poor weapons. For patch 3.2 we decided to run a script to detect weapons that were below our normal minimum threshold, or that had multiple gameplay perks that could potentially introduce unexpected bugs. Due to incorrect parameters the script enforced the maximum caps too, dragging down players who had lucked into an extraordinarily good weapon. The nature of our current perk system did not allow for a targeted re-roll at the scale of this issue (i.e. fundamental reroll rules were incorrect), ...

That's rough. We've been discussing global chat recently. The current implementation doesn't completely hit the mark in terms of providing a valuable tool to group, find players with similar objectives, etc. I don't have a solution to share today. This is something we want to improve upon.

Coming in hot!

They are on this list for exactly that reason. We're committed to making that happen and making sure you have a place to see the status.

This is fantastic. I was hoping we'd see stuff like this.

Hmmm.

Patch notes will drop tomorrow when we go down to prop the build.

Good catch. Looks like we need to update that original post. Currently on track for tomorrow. We’re “coming in hot” as we sometimes do, but likely to land on Thursday. Aim is to have that scheduled this afternoon/evening to be able to share the specific downtime.

This is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.

You’re just cranking these right out. Well done!

Wow. Nicely done!

We love you guys. <3

That's a fair question and I agree. The first thing we're doing is dedicating more community folks that can focus specifically on StW. The rapid growth of Fortnite has meant we've had our community team spread across the entire game. We've spent some time staffing up and Clintonious and Magyst are now dedicated to StW interaction. You'll still see Popo, Mooney, Flak, myself, etc. here. Having a couple of reliable folks to make sure things don't slip through the cracks will help.

There's no downside. We clearly failed to communicate information that was important to you. We can do better.

We're here. We missed the boat on clearly sharing the delay and seasonal gold details. That's on us and we're sorry. No excuses. We simply have to do better than this.

Please DM me your ticket number and I'll check into it.

My apologies regarding the weapon being blue everyone, I'm not sure what happened but the bug for this just landed on me a few days ago. Once this is solved it will be fixed in next week's patch.

Hey folks!
 
With the release of V.2.1.0, two PC performance issues emerged:
* Game client hardlock, most notably when alt+tabbed away from the client.
* Significant in-game hitching.
 
Following our investigation, we discovered that both issues were due to a certain audio configuration and immediately pushed a backend update to disable it. Disabling this component should have no impact on game audio.
 
While this won’t fix all performance issues for all users, we believe the major PC performance regressions shipped with 2.1.0 are now resolved. We’re continually investigating performance issues in the pursuit of providing the smoothest experience possible for all players.
 
As always, thank you for your patience!

We heavily rely on cloud services to run our backend and we may experience further service issues due to ongoing updates.
