Fortnite: Battle Royale Dev Tracker

PSA: The whole Fortnite team watched this epic showdown

Hey folks!
 
With the release of V.2.1.0, two PC performance issues emerged:
* Game client hardlock, most notably when alt+tabbed away from the client.
* Significant in-game hitching.
 
Following our investigation, we discovered that both issues were due to a certain audio configuration and immediately pushed a backend update to disable it. Disabling this component should have no impact on game audio.
 
While this won’t fix all performance issues for all users, we believe the major PC performance regressions shipped with 2.1.0 are now resolved. We’re continually investigating performance issues in the pursuit of providing the smoothest experience possible for all players.
 
As always, thank you for your patience!

Yep, we have the task made and someone will likely be on it in the next week.

Bravo

We're on /r/all !

First :)

Hey I just spoke with the AD, we are making this happen :)

It is fixed right now, we just wanted to give everyone a heads up since we may run into more problems in the next couple days.

Right now there is a waiting room. So many players are trying to login at once as our services are recovering that we need to funnel players in slowly. This is something we need to do to make sure we are as stable as possible during recovery.

Attention Fortnite community,

We wanted to provide a bit more context for the most recent login issues and service instability. All of our cloud services are affected by updates required to mitigate the Meltdown vulnerability. We heavily rely on cloud services to run our backend and we may experience further service issues due to ongoing updates.

Here is a link to an ...

To be fair you woulda had it if you aimed a couple pixels down.

We are testing a couple fixes now. No ETA yet as we haven't found a concrete solution.

We acknowledge that players currently cannot login to Fortnite and are running into an error message. We've got the team looking into this now.

Hey, that's a cool idea! ;)

The way me and my friends play the Mr. President challenge is as follows:

• Pick one person from your party of 4 to be the President, (or a random)
• If the President dies, you fail, and the match is over (restart). Your team wins only if get a Victory Royale with the president still alive.
• The president can only Emote, Dance & Build (and dab on your enemies when you get kills)
• The other 3 members of your party (Secret Service) can only use the revolver, regular pistol and Silenced pistol. Secret Service can only use meds/shields if the President is as healthy as possible. President get's priority on Meds.

Good Luck!

Including the Mako Glider in the daily items for today (Jan, 2) was a mistake on our part, we are removing it now. We plan to keep all items from Season 1 and 2 exclusive. As we work to expand in future seasons, rewards may include a mix of exclusive and non-exclusive items.

What do you think? Do you want the opportunity to purchase items from multiple seasons ago, or should season rewards be completely exclusive?

Water blocking bullets will be fixed the next time we push a map update.

Welcome!

Can you pm me your username and what platform you're on?

I'll pass this along to our support team and see if they can help unblock you.

EDIT: Recommendation from our support team is to first make sure you reach out to PayPal support if you haven't already, in case they are throttling something on their end. Beyond that, please private message me your username and if possible a screenshot or text of whatever error you are seeing when you try to make the purchase. That way our dudes can take a look on our end. We definitely want to get you in that Nog Ops outfit ASAP :P

Depends on how complicated or how long the dance is. The dance above was around 1 weeks worth of work for one animator.
