So is V7.1 tomorrow?

v7.10 is still releasing tomorrow as planned.

Update:

Due to last minute issues discovered within the build, we’ve had to delay the timing for the release of the v7.10 update.

We’ll provide more details on an exact time once we have more information.

Hey folks,

We know we set the expectation for the Driftboard to release in the coming update. Unfortunately, we’ve decided to hold the release of this new vehicle to make some final quality of life changes and other polish improvements.

 

We want to get you out there carving up the slopes as soon as possible. However, our goal is to make sure that your experiences on the Driftboard are up to our expectations. We still have tons of quality of life and balance improvements on the way in v7.10.

was that today? saw some other people mention this in the stickied thread that it was in their match after being vaulted, it's weird IDK i've played a LOT of solos since they vaulted it and it's not happened once in my games anyway (PC/EU here)... some exploit going on ?

 

u/MrPopoTFS what's happening here? :D

Thanks for the ping, we're looking into this now.

Update: We're now aware that there is a very small chance that the Infinity Blade can spawn in some matches. We are already working on a fix for this which will ensure it won't appear in any matches. This will be in tomorrows v7.10 client update. Thanks so much for the heads up!

If you are still having issues with your HUD after patching, please put in a player support ticket here. You will need to submit the ticket under the Epic Games Account selection and enter "Missing HUD" as your description.

By putting in a player support ticket your profile settings will be reset to default. You will not lose your player level, Battlepass, or any cosmetic items.

Thank you so much for at least confirming that this is on Epic's radar, I was really worried that nobody was seeing these reports and threads and we were all just shouting into the void.

Is there any chance at Fortnite extending season 7, because of people not being able to play for the first few weeks of the release?

All credit to our community team for noticing the reports and passing them along; given the volume of feedback we get, things can be hard to spot unless they're really on top of things.

No solution yet, but a few theories we're running down.

Unfortunately can't speak to future plans beyond trying to get this fixed, sorry!

Really hoping someone at Epic will see this, although the chances are slim. I've been playing Fortnite on my college campus Wifi since November 2017, and I haven't had a problem running the game until now. Ever since S7 was released, when i queue up for a match, the game finds a lobby, sends me to my chosen loading screen, and sits there for a few minutes until I get kicked back into the lobby. This is not just a problem for me but I have found a number of students online with the same issue. I have no clue how this would happen, unless the update brought changes to game files that some college internets are reacting poorly to. Epic, please find a fix to the problem; I don't want to get behind and risk not getting the tier 100 skin this season because I couldn't play for the first 3 weeks due to an oversight. Thanks!!

Just tossed a quick bit of clarification below, but just for primary comment threading we're aware of the issue where Fortnite traffic is being blocked by some institutions and trying to help understand how to unblock players.

Update: Alright, my university’s IT reps just responded with this:

“We have identified the root cause of this incident. Last week Epic pushed out a new version of their Fortnite game. This version utilizes BitTorrent which is a P2P application. The use of P2P applications are restricted by filters on our network. We have asked our filter vendor to review the issue and suggest any possible workaround that does not negate our current P2P policy.”

So clearly, most university networks probably filter P2P applications, hence why multiple players at different universities can’t play now. Also, it is now confirmed to be a problem on Epic’s end. Thankfully, my school has a big enough gamer population that this is somewhat of a priority for the IT dept, but for other schools, there’s no reason to believe that they would make any such changes to their wifi security policy just because of ONE game.

Epic, this is stupid. Please fix this.

Hey! Wanted to let you know we're looking into the issue, but just to clarify we do NOT use BitTorrent.

We're investigating what's happening, but wanted to toss a quick reminder that we are not blocking traffic and do not control individual institutional traffic shaping and firewalls.

We're looking to understand why Fortnite traffic may be blocked by some institutions and how we can help unblock players.

Heya folks,

 

We messed up and rolled out the Infinity Blade overpowered / without good counters, especially in the end game.

 

The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items.

 

Thanks for calling us out on this!

Heya folks,

We released the Mythic Infinity Blade item with the v7.01 update and have since seen a healthy amount of discussion and feedback around it. In response to what we’ve seen, we’re looking to provide more context on item philosophy and some upcoming changes to the Blade.

Mythic Items

The presence of Mythic items in gameplay is to provide an interaction a step above the Legendary item functionality and something you’ll continue to see. To us, that means changing the way the game is played for those who interact with that item. The addition of items in this tier provide new and flavorful ways to interact with the map and generally shake up normal play across default modes.

We’ll have some more info with regards to our competitive philosophy when it comes to new items, updates and seasons within Fortnite early next week.
