I don't find you guys often, but I knocked one of you down about a week ago, danced and they left the game :(


Also just going to ignore that one of the squad members in this clip's name is basically 'epic admin'?

Was probably me.

Didn't record it but maybe I can recreate the moment.

We were at warehouses on loot lake (D4) when another team ambushed us. My buddies served as excellent meat shields buying me time to get 3 kills but I wasn’t fast enough to save them. I was left alone with 3 other players.

Time was short after the battle and the circle was closing so I had to cover some ground and head towards the forest between Snobby Shores and Haunted Hills (B4). Kept looking around to see where they were but saw nothing. I figure I'd get in the circle and setup a base trying to do my best.

Right as I get there and I found a nice spot to build my log cabin I turned and saw building behind about 100 yards away on the hill from where I had just come. I panicked and started firing the AR then lobbing grenades with the launcher to see if I could pick one or two off before spamming some walls. Player in the clip charges me so i swap to the shotgun in an attempt to take him out close...

Lol Joel don't blame your "terrible friends."

Were you charged Vbucks? That's the placeholder image, so I'm guessing it couldn't find the offer for that slot for some reason. Even if the UI gets funny, it obviously shouldn't actually complete any purchase and deduct funds.

The first and second shots were just dirty.

Heya folks,

Over this past weekend, we noticed an increase in login failures associated with the “Failed to Download Client Settings” issue.

 

If you have received this error on the login screen, you should be able to login now. However, please note that your client settings will have been reset to default. This was a necessary step for us to address the issue and get folks back in game asap.

 

If you continue to run into the issue please reach out to us on social or our player support team here.

Also, I’ll repeat it one more time: my team (Team Online) is very, very actively hiring.

Reach out to that email address if you’re interested and are skilled at writing scalable code (especially Golang). Or ask me questions and I’ll try my best to answer them! I work on the development side of things—if you have questions about other stuff, I’ll try and find someone who knows the answer.

I know it totally sounds like I’m being a shill by saying this, but Epic is by far the best company I’ve ever worked for. And (as you all now understand a bit more after this post) we’re doing some really cool stuff at a ridiculous scale.

Plus you’d get to meet my dumb cat.

I mean if you have the top post, I'm going to abuse your tasty Karma and say, hey we need analysts too :)

Nothing about stability for console , building performance , or opening chests to get nothing. Not complaining here just a bummer. Maybe next week.

Just a few quick comments.

  • Console performance improvements are in flight. There will be more details revealed in this space soon on Dan's next State of Dev.
  • We've got a dedicated engineer focusing on improving the weapon switch and building experience on all platforms. We've heard your feedback and we're trying to introduce a solid improvement that feels fast and responsive under all conditions. We also care deeply that we don't introduce new issues when bringing this system online. This has taken some time. I don't have an exact ETA as we're trying to ensure this time it's free of critical bugs. Once QA has signed off on it and we've got everything in tip top shape we'll get it in your hands.
  • Opening a chest and getting no loot sucks. We've added some additional logging and detection methods to help us track this down. This has not been something that's been easy for us to quickly resolve. We have a potential fix coming in the next updates post 2...

Hey man, really sorry this has taken as long as it has. It turned out the bug was trickier to track down than we had anticipated.

The good news is that it just came back fix confirmed today, so it will be in the 2.5 version released next week!

Hey, Epic dev here!

After a bit of poking around, I found the root cause of the issue.

We have a "vertex shader" on the trees, which makes them sway around in the wind a little bit. Unfortunately, they swaying quite a lot, and the actual collision of the tree doesn't update with it. There was up to ~1ft between where the branch you hit was rendering, and where its collision was.

I've addressed this issue for the next build, so the trees only move very closely around the actual collision.

Thanks for posting!

Forwarded this along to the team. Thanks for bringing this up! As for everyone watching this, please do not attempt to abuse this bug. Exploiting is a serious offense.

I will bring it up with the teams and get their feedback.
