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

It would be nice if we could change HUD settings on the main menu.. and the settings would stay. Net debug stats will still not stay on if you mess with any option in the menu too. It commonly resets for no reason.

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.

Heya folks,

It’s been no secret that over the past 24 hours we’ve been experiencing issues with our services that have prevented many of you from playing Battle Royale and Save the World. We’re sorry. We know how frustrating this has been.

We messed up here. As thanks for being awesome and patient, we’re doing the following:
  • For Battle Royale players, this weekend we’ll be offering a Back Bling gift that you can pick up in the store for free.
  • For our Save the World folks, this weekend we will be offering a Troll Stash Llama in the loot tab for free.
Next week, we will be granting a pack of Battle Stars to our Battle Royale players and Seasonal Gold to the Save the World players. This will require brief additional downtime, so we will be including it as a part of our planned update next week.

We’ll have a detailed postmortem of this week’s issues, and more information about how we will improve services for you in the future... Read more

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. :)

In the v3.5 update we are expanding the Arid tileset by introducing Thunder Route 99! This new area will be the stage for the upcoming Survive the Storm event, with a brand new layout, and gorgeous visuals set in ablazing hot desert. 

StW03_AridSurvival_Screenshot_02.jpg

Thunder Route 99 is a lost highway, where before the storm, travellers would stop along their way for food, gas, entertainment, or refreshments before continuing on their way. Today, it is a wasteland of forgotten vacations and afternoon drives.  As you venture off of the road, campsites, old run down refineries, and mines scatter the landscape, in addition to a few unfortunate vehicles that could not make it back to the road. The landscape is perilous, watch out for snakes!

My problem is similar but slightly different: My son created a new account from the xbox but got the email address wrong and can't remember the password he picked (he's been suitably lectured on this ;-). We therefore have an Epic Games account that we can't login to because we don't know the password and we can't verify it or request a password reset as the email address is wrong.

I raised a support request with Epic 10 days ago but nothing has happened. Any ideas how long this might take? All I want them to do is change the email address on the account to a valid one so that we can verify it and request a password change. I made the support request from the email account I use for the xbox, so hopefully that's enough proof that I'm not trying to steal the account.

We really want to play Save the World together but I can't link him as a friend from my PC without being able to login to both accounts. Anyone have other suggestions for resolving this?

I am not sure I understand why you can't login with your xbox account. You should be able to access that new xbox account your son created even though you don't have the email/password by using your xbox login, right? PM me your ticket number and I'll ping someone to take a look.

Agreed - this is on the list to fix.

Looks like the payment went through. The v-bucks will not show up on PC, log into your Xbox to spend them. After you spend them, the item is available on any platform.

If you believe that your ban was inaccurate, you are welcome to PM me to discuss further. However, since you claim your brother went looking for cheats, that seems unlikely.

Cheating bans are permanent and there are no warnings. We take this very seriously in order to ensure that everyone has a fair and fun time playing Fortnite.

Additionally, as stated here, we ban computers associated with banned accounts in order to prevent account churning to bypass our bans.
