i appreaciate seeing this post and gived a little bit of hope

personally fps are really unstable esepecially near a tornado or fire and makes the game go from 30 fps to 10 fps

then building and editing has a serios issue because when i wana do a 360⁰ while im building the game is starting to freeze or works really hard

i also would love to see textures fixed on inposters and Creative hub/ maps in general no matter what kind of high graphics you have it looks like a nokia phone

some locations like tielted towers,condo canyon,daily bugle and sleepy sounds have horrible fps spots

med-mist and vending machine needs a rework on mobile

other platforms can spam and heal/buy really easily finishing only in a couple of seconds while mobile has a delay

more powefull aim assist: i know this may be controversial but is really hard to play against pc players sience they can build better etc so a buff on aim assist wont be bad

Thanks for all of these points! Do you have an example of the texture issues you are seeing? What device do you play on?

S8+ and the textures look pretty unclear and that including skins too

i think s9,s10 have the same issues there

and question will the random freezing from BR games get pached or something so it wont hapend that frequently

Also more things hapend on BR games like the game freezing even when you are droping from the battle bus launching from a klombo, or near exeplosions

i wana say thanks again for trying to help the game on mobile devices this really mean a lot for us

Thanks. The extra information helps!

First of all, THANK YOU for letting us voice out our concerns Epic Games! Many people still play on Fortnite on mobile, but not many realize how awesome it is it for a community to be heard by the developers for issues, especially on the overlooked mobile version. ❤ :D

🐛Bugs I found: • Android 12 version crashes, mostly on pre-game island. • Game temporarily freezing/stuttering • Striker Pump Shotgun animation isn't as smooth as other platforms • Starting music doesn't play on game startup like other platforms • Friend icons on friend list do not display their current outfit.

🗣 Suggestions I have: • Colorblind settings for players who need the feature on mobile. • Give more devices the option to use the highest graphics and the highest framerate on devices than CAN handle it. I play on the Galaxy Note10+ and do wish to utilize my device's power for faster framerates and smooth graphics. • Additional customizable graphics settings, like shadows, render distance and anti-aliasing so that players can really customize their graphics like on other platforms. While this may worsen performance, you could analyze the device's specs and give tips in the settings to instead choose a quality preset if the device can't handle the custom graphics. • "Show FPS" setting movable in the HUD Layout Tool

If you acknowledge any of these bugs and suggestions, THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤

Fortnite mobile has so much potential for mobile gaming!

Hey u/notdeanfr! Regarding your points about startup music not playing and Friend Icons not displaying their current outfit - I know when I play on mobile, I don't see either of these issues. What device do you play on? I would like to try and narrow this down so we can dig into it.

Also, thanks for all the ❤'s! I am sending ❤'s for everyone here too! The Fortnite mobile community is pretty awesome.

Suggestions

  1. let us move these elements in the HUD Layout tool:

    1. Spectator count
    2. Creative runtime performance 1
    3. Creative HUD Types (Score trackers, etc.)
    4. FPS Counter 1
    5. Pickup Loot stream
    6. Quest progress UI
    7. Arena points Counter
    8. LTM UI
    9. Vehicle UI (Fuel and Speed)
    10. Match ID+Player ID 1
    11. Creative memory bar

1 Make it so these elements can not be deleted or moved off the screen, like the menu button.

  1. Quality of Life touch/Controller input bug fix:

    1. When you use controller input most people do not use push to talk. But with touch input you have to have it on so that the mute/unmute button shows. Everything you switch inputs you have to change the setting.
      1. Make it so the Push to talk button for touch input shows even if the Push to Talk setting is off. This would also make it so you are not automatically muted when loading into a match or lobby, which is annoying.
  2. Add more HUD Layout Modes:

    1. ADS Mode (Customize the HUD when ADS)
      1. Currently lots of buttons and UI disappear when ADS so you can see when using a gun with a scope. Not all HUDs need to have these buttons and UI automatically disappear.
      2. Also note that ADS with guns like shotguns that do not have scopes and ADS with guns like snipers that have scopes is very different. Different buttons show.
    2. Creative Prop Gun mode
      1. The creative prop gun buttons currently are in the creative HUD Layout mode. This causes problems because some Combat, Build, and Edit mode buttons should show but can’t because the Creative HUD is used.
    3. Skydiving and Gliding modes.
      1. There are lots of buttons that also do not show when skydiving and gliding. We should be able to customize that.
      2. Please note skydiving without a glider and gliding with a glider are totally different and different buttons show.
    4. DBNO mode
      1. Many buttons do not show when Down But Not Out and we should be able to customize them.
    5. Spectating mode
      1. We should be able to move buttons when spectating. Example: Just because my quickbar is in the middle of my screen does not mean I want it there when I am watching someone.
  3. Add a transparency slider to UI elements

    1. Elements like the quickbar and map can take up a lot of screen, it would be nice if we could see through them.

Bugs:

  1. Battle Royale list that I update and add to every update.

    1. Note there are some pretty major bugs here but I have already provided descriptions and images in the post linked above.
  2. Creative list that I update and add to every update.

    1. Note there are some pretty major bugs here but I have already provided descriptions and images in the post linked above. (Ex: Choppa HUD does not show when entering and you have to quit the game because you can not exit the vehicle. Choppa HUD Layout tool mode was also removed)
  3. Button visibility bugs that mode HUD Layout Tool modes would solve:

Button Should Show When:
Toggle Map Mini-map is disabled in any situation
Shoot Skydiving; Gliding
Look Stick - Shoot Skydiving; Gliding
Crouch/Slide Skydiving
Rotate Skydiving, Gliding; DBNO
Material Selector Skydiving; Gliding
Dynamic Quickbar Slot(s) Skydiving; DBNO; Spectating; Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic; ADS with scoped weapons
Quickbar Skydiving; ADS with scoped weapons
Build/Switch Mode Button Skydiving; DBNO; ADS with scoped weapons
Cycle Weapons Up; Cycle Weapons Down DBNO; Using Inflate-A-Bull; Driftboard/Surfboard; Prop-O-Matic
Edit; Edit Toggle and Reset Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic; ADS with scope-less weapons
Building Interact/Repair Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic
Autorun Lock Zone Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic
Elimination Feed Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic
Voice Chat Indicators Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic
Secondary Use Using the creative Phone or Prop-O-Matic
Inventory ADS with scoped weapons
Emote ADS with scoped weapons
Quick Chat ADS with scoped weapons
Secondary Ability Driftboard/Surfboard
ADS Creative HUBs
Creative - Toggle Phasing Flying in Creative when phone is not out
Creative - Heatmap Flying in Creative when phone is not out

Hey u/Jeff03blue_Instinct - Thanks again for the time you spend making these comprehensive and detailed lists. You're a star!

Fortnite mobile has so much potential for mobile gaming!

Colorblind settings for players who need the feature on mobile.

The visual accessibility settings that are used and set on the device itself should carry over into Fortnite.

Heya! I suspect this may be something to do with your account. Have you tried reaching out to player support? You can contact them at fn.gg/support

one issue i’ve encountered is when using the look stick while editing then going into combat mode sometimes makes your weapon/pickaxe start shooting.

Features - maybe we could get more settings like view distance or audio quality like PC has, the more customisibilty the better.

Heya! I just got this up on Trello so the community can track it - https://trello.com/c/qBeXMyBr. This will be fixed in a future update!

What I want to tell you:

We need better optimization. More devices should have more stable frames as well as higher frame rates on the devices which can handle it. ( would love to see what the tab s8 series can do)

What bugs: The bug where we continually fire/build/pickaxe. It is in many posts, been in the game since the new chapter, and is very annoying.

What is dampening my experience: 1. for a long time now (like 2 years) beyond around 17 m items appear as balls of color corresponding to rarity. This makes off spawn fighting occasionally hard as we cannot consistently mark an item while dropping. 2. On mobile it is practically impossible to tell what builds belong to an enemy other than trying to edit them. and that is not a viable solution.

Quality of life: More stable and optimized game play. Less frame drops, less lag. I don't really care too much about graphics. They are reasonable.

What I want to see more of:

I loved mobile tournaments and would like to see more of them! More of an open support for mobile. We generally feel left out and forgotten by you all. I'd love to just see more support for mobile overall.

The bug where we continually fire/build/pickaxe. It is in many posts, been in the game since the new chapter, and is very annoying.

This has been in development and the fix will be out with a future update! :)

Hey u/Catblips_Epic, are you planning a separate megathread like this for Nintendo Switch, or are we still considered "mobile users" as well?

There's plenty of issues that have been reported over at r/FortniteSwitch, but it seems like that sub is being ignored by Epic. Of course, it isn't an official Epic supported subreddit, so if you'd like the issues to be posted on the r/FortniteMobile sub, please let me know.

Hey u/Huntcaller! That subreddit isn’t one that is supported by us. We don’t ignore it though. Yes, please post here - thank you!

u/CatBlips_Epic, sorry to mention but some of these things have been taking too long and I hope they will be fixed in the not too distant future.

Hey u/alex_1828!

The Retaliator Glider has been broken since the previous chapter and hasn't been fixed yet:

This was fixed a few weeks ago. Have you experienced it recently?

Yeah, you shouldn't be having any problem with that device either. Are you installing from the Galaxy Store?

Resetting builds.

I have edit on release enabled. But if i reset a build, it doesnt exit the editor. I neee to confirm the reset which wastes time and is annoying since i dont do that for any other build.

I understand this is a preference but it would be nice if this was an option.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've tried the clearing caches, storages, different browsers no luck.

Any ideas

SOLVED

My default Webview, bromite was causing the issues, changed to chrome and all gold.

Bromite mustve been blocking / filtering the links inside.

Hey, u/Alternative_Ruin_894 Glad to hear you got it working!
