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.

Infinity Blade Changes

Hey there,

Thanks a bunch for calling this out! We've updated the image on our website to match what is actually available in the Season 7 Battle Pass.


12 Dec

We've fixed an issue that was causing the Infinity Blade to grant +100 HP on elimination in Explorer Pop-Up Cup, rather than +50 HP. Eliminations with the Infinity Blade in the Explorer Pop-Up Cup will now only grant +50 HP.

We’re aware of a couple of issues currently affecting the Infinity Blade.

  • Loss of HUD after using the Infinity Blade

    • Workaround: Go into any game mode then > Settings > gear > HUD > turn Quickbar: On
  • Repeatedly perform the swinging animation for a short period of time, without ever fully completing the animation.

If you experience either of these issues, please submit a bug report by using the Feedback button located in the Options. Additionally, please leave your in-game name and platform below in the comments.

Picked it up the first match i dropped in, got 9 kills. Great.

Now I can't see my inventory unless I press Alt. This is every match now. Cant see my ammo, my loadout, how many rounds I have left. Fix this BUNNY before you put out another outfit on the store ya COOL FELLOWS.

Edit: I just uninstalled the game and reinstalled it but its still not showing my damn loadtout. Wtf do I do now? Where are my settings saved (on a server or local?) If I uninstall Fortnite, are there any leftover files still on there?

Edit2: In a state of panic and dread, I found a fix. I'm going to just leave now and not explain how to fix it...

Just kidding. They added a Hud tab in the Game Options page (the one with the gear). I just frantically switched them all off and on. Now I can see my loadout as normal.

Edit3: The HUD tab is only accessible in game and not in the lobby.

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to inform you all that we are aware of the issue and we have a current workaround available for players to view on our Trello board
