So can I be the only player in the playground LTM or is it just a normal match with 100 players but we respawn and get faster loot?

You can play by yourself in a match if you'd like to. But it's obviously more fun with friends.

Hypothetically, if I made another Xbox account for the time being, and linked my EPIC account to it, it could work right? I just wanna play Fortnite with my buddies on Xbox with all my progress. Btw, reason this has happened is because my EPIC account was hacked, and someone disconnected my Xbox account from my EPIC account. Now my Hotmail has been hacked and I still have not been able to retrieve my EPIC account. In terms of contacting support, what is the best way to do this?

Correct, you can create a new Xbox account and connect it to your Epic account and you should be able to play on Xbox with all your progress. In any case, I'd contact support first and see what they can do for you.

At the bottom of the page, there's a link to send a support ticket via email.

This is ludicrous. I've spent so much money and time on my Xbox account, and now it's locked to some randoms email? How is this good service? Crazy. Please is there a way just to remove the linked Xbox GT from this bogus random account?

I'm actually an engineer working on these systems providing you with some transparency on how the system works. I'm sorry I can't help you further. Please contact support for further assistance.

You are able to remove the Xbox Login from the (headless) Epic Games account.

Do the following in order to disconnect the Xbox account from the headless account and reconnect it to your "main" Epic Games account:

  • Go to the website and login using your Xbox credentials (from the login dropdown, select Xbox)
  • After logging in, it'll ask you for additional details. In particular, an email address, display name and password. IMPORTANT: Make sure you use a REAL email address you have access to (and it's not associated with an existing Epic Games account)
  • After you've "upgraded" that headless account, it'll basically be a full Epic Games account with an email/password to login. Go to https://www.epicgames.com/account/connected and verify your email address (th...

HELP!

I made an email to link my current Xbox account, with the intention of disconnecting it, and therefore freeing up my Xbox account from an EPIC account.

I currently have an EPIC account which I have played with for months, and wish to link this account to my Xbox GT, but I cant, due to the mentioned above.

How do I unlink an account which has not been verified? And I cannot verify as I had typed the wrong email address in in the first place, so I have no access to this email?

HELP!

Unfortunately you cannot. If you linked your Xbox account to a "bogus" or mistyped email address, you will not be able to disconnect it until we add a different way to verify accounts. The feature is in the backlog so I cannot provide you any updates on when it'll be implemented. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help in this regard.

There should be a fix in 4.2, I’m hoping it makes it into the final build.

hey, this looks wrong for sure. When this happened in a match, could you go to the menu and press "feedback" and type a quick report? that will give us some more information. thanks!

Hey u/Gemini_99, the option they're referencing is meant to be used together with joy2key, xpadder or something similar that monitors for controller input and generates keyboard input on its behalf. Definitely give it a try as a workaround for now.

I'll look into why what we had regressed. Let me know how the above works out.

I know this is an old post but you still haven’t responded. Then why is there a bDisableMouseAcceleration=False then in the GameUserSettings.ini?

That config setting is routed into this Mac only CVar, and has absolutely no impact on PC:

static FAutoConsoleVariableRef CVarMacDisableMouseAcceleration( TEXT("io.Mac.HighPrecisionDisablesMouseAcceleration"), GMacDisableMouseAcceleration, TEXT("If set to true then OS X's mouse acceleration curve will be disabled while using high-precision mouse mode (typically used when games capture the mouse) resulting in a linear relationship between mouse movement & on-screen cursor movement. For some pointing devices this will make the cursor very slow. (Default: False)"));

The comment about the no-acceleration mode sometimes dramatically changing the speed of input is why it exists for Mac, otherwise it wouldn't exist anywhere.

Cheers, Michael Noland

Agree!

Looking at your desired HUD, the HUD options in the settings allows you to turn off the map/backpack keyboard hint element. Small part, but worth mentioning. These options are currently only visible once you load into a match.

I'm interested in showing trap data, though if the designers decide to add 3 more traps, the display would need to support that case without unbounded growth.

A headless account is an Epic Account that has an association with an Xbox/PSN ID. If you are trying to consolidate accounts, I would suggest logging in with your headless account on the website (you can use Xbox to login on the website). That will ask you to enter additional information (such as email/password) and you will be able to use that email/password to login on the Epic Games launcher, for example

Fun fact: it only ever banned you for being on the swings on October 8th, 2017. Never before and never again. Our bad. :)
