We're aware of and investigating an issue where some Xbox players are experiencing disconnects while in-game and are sent back to the lobby.
We are working towards resolving this and will provide an updated post when we have more information.

The v7.20 Content Update releases tomorrow, January 22 at 8 AM ET (1300 UTC). No downtime is required.
External link →Hey Everyone,
We’re aware that players are experiencing issues when attempting to log in or matchmake on Fortnite. We’re currently working on a resolution.
Thank you!
**UPDATE*\* 9:32PM: Matchmaking and Log In services have returned to normal. Thank you for your patience!
External link →Hey everyone,
The following LTMs have been Re-Enabled!
Thank you!
External link →Hey Everyone,
We have released an update for IOS / Android to resolve the fire button not responding when leaving the Battle Bus. Players will be required to update from the app store or Epic Launcher at 11pm EST if not already downloaded.
Thank you!
External link →How are we supposed to know what's been worked on then? We're being left in the dust. Yesterday Creative was stuck infinitely loading, and I got stuck in the snow at Polar Peak.
It's infuriating.
This comes from the Trello board "What to expect card"
The purpose of this board is to provide awareness of top community issues and their status.
Listed on this board will be our highest priority issues that we are working to resolve in the next couple of releases.
This was unintentional. Will be restored to the original two-tone look.
First mention of v7.30. Yay!
With all the content updates, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next one was 7.30.
Just wanted to clarify,
The next update is the v7.20 Content Update, followed by Patch v7.30.
Hey folks,
In the v7.20 Patch Notes we had a line that read:
Editing a structure will now begin without waiting for a response from the server. This should cut down on ghost shots before editing and make it a smoother experience.
Unfortunately, due to an issue that was preventing players from being able to shoot after jumping from the Battle Bus, we've had to revert that improved functionality. For the time being, editing will now react the same way it did prior to v7.20.
Fear not! All improvements listed above will be re-added to Patch v7.30.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Read moreI've been watching their Trello, they actually have a Switch section on there right now, with two (!!!) issues, them being the Ramirez issue "Players load in lobby as the same cosmetic" which is only part of the issue. The bigger issue is they also load in as the same cosmetic in game. I also swear to god skins are changing sometimes, like I'm fighting a Lynx and all of a sudden it's a Summit Striker or something.
The other Switch top issue seems to be related to the voice chat, which, while inconvenient I'm sure, is the least of my worries.
The bigger issues, in my honest opinion:
Environment textures load in at the last minute when landing again, this was definitely fixed at some point, but it's back, and it makes it hard to choose a landing spot, because you can't see if loot is on the ground until you basically touch the ground. Both docked (worse) and undocked.
Massive, massive frame drops when jumping early and in a crowded s...
Just to clarify that the Trello board is not a list of every issue seen or reported.
nice
The developers probably made the police car first, then when they make a new car, they just paste the police car and reskin it. Copy and pasting sections of code is what makes the world go round.
This is close to correct. The police car is made the parent of the other cars (they are now children of the parent car). Creating this relationship between various cars allows updates to sections of code/script in the police car to automatically propagate to child cars without need to copy/paste the latest code/script with every update. The benefit of this is it keeps functionality consistent between cars (or any other asset type that uses a parent/child relationship), and if there is an issue or bug with cars, that it only needs to be fixed in one place instead of many.
btw, thanks to OP. There might be potential for minor optimization in the parent script. We'll investigate it.
We have released a hotfix to resolve FPS drops when entering building mode. Players will not be required to update, you will pick it up next time you return to the lobby.

Thanks for the info, I've sent this off to our QA team for investigation.
