u/MrPopoTFS Turbo delay is back to 0.15 and it was not mentioned in the patch notes could you clarify this?

Hey there!

Wanted to drop by and confirm it has been reported to the QA team and we're looking into it.

It should be noted that while .05 is the lowest possible time under perfect conditions for initial structure placement, network conditions are a factor, and can have an effect on the placement time.

However, there was no intentional change implemented for this in the v8.40. Thanks for the report!

Explanation: No voice chat at all, it stopped working while playing and it hasn't worked anymore. Everything is configured correctly and working, it works in every other game (apex, cod, etc) but not in fortnite, nor in BR nor in StW.

Evidence: I can send whatever you need, screenshots of the settings, the mic working perfectly on the PS4, etc. I found on internet (reddit and epic games bugs webpage) a ton of posts of people with the same problem, no feedback at all, not a single epic games answer.

Platform: PS4.

If you need some more info, ask for it

Thanks for the report and the willingness to provide additional information! If this issue is still occurring for you please report a bug in-game by using the Feedback button found in the dropdown Options menu.

Please make the title "v8.40 Voice Chat Issue" so that we can collect your logs to help us better identify the root cause of the issue.
