Original Post — Direct link

There was a workaround, a bit annoying but still workable. And yet you’ve disabled the sole mode in which my household plays the game.

Since I couldn’t submit a decent bug report because in-game reporting is limited to a screenshot, and I couldn’t post here because I was a Reddit newb, I’ll give you our experience here.

This bug triggers only when rematching within the game. Second player isn’t tied directly to the party leader and that player’s ready-up action. Attempting to rematch results in “waiting for player 2 to ready up” when player 2 does not have that ability in split screen mode. After attempting to rematch within game, players cannot return to the lobby and successfully rematch. The erroneous flag in player 2’s data is persistent in that case. Only a close and restart will rectify the situation and allow a successful match.

Returning to the lobby BEFORE rematching works around whatever flag is being allowed to go out of sync.

You’ve just locked me out of the last 2 weeks of this season. I don’t have a PC capable of playing (we tried when we encountered this bug.) Our console (PS4) is how we play.

Hi, u/LunaLara1920. The readying up issue with the second player was addressed by the v15.50 update. However, shortly after the release of v15.50, we were seeing a stability issue related to Split Screen, which is why it's currently disabled. We'll keep everyone updated on FortniteStatus when it's re-enabled.

Supposedly this morning’s patch addressed the stability issue ... yet split screen is still disabled. What gives?

Hey again, u/LunaLara1920. After the fix went out with the patch, we spent some time testing it out before re-enabling. Split Screen is now re-enabled.

As that may be now after a match has finished and you go to ready up it sits in waiting fir party leader, you have to go back to the lobby just to start a new match.

Hey, u/SuspectMaleficent592. You are correct in that the readying up issue has not been resolved fully. We are working to address this.

Fortunately, like you touched on, v15.50 introduced the Lobby workaround for the meantime. Players no longer have to restart the game after a match.

To track the status of the issue, you can keep tabs on this Trello card. We currently have a fix in store for a future game update.
