Epic dev here- We're looking at this right now!

We're definitely not happy where it is right now, and are actually changing some of our pipeline for getting content approved and in the game so that we don't run into these kinds of situations in the future.

Thanks for contacting -

My Monitors res is 1920x1080 yes. After the Update the 3D res was 2880x1800 instead of 1920x1080 at 100%.

"Fix" ; I changed Screen res and toggled between various settings and now it stopped changing itself back to 2880x1800.

ALSO - i just noticed that my Screen refreshrate was capped to 60hz in adapter system settings!! (240hz Monitor). I dont know if thats possible through a Game Update or if it was an auto-update in the background for AMD drivers...

Thank you!! We'll dig into this.

Epic Dev here- What exactly do you mean by "Wall Clipping"? We've been discussing it here, and we think we understand, but some clarification would go a long way!! Thanks.

its like on the first Version of the game... same problems here. also 3D rendering went to 2880x1800 instead of the usual 1920x1080 at 100%

Epic Dev here- Is that the native res of your monitor? Just trying to get a clear picture of what's going on.

A lot of fun actually. To see how people react to the things we have created or built is humbling and amazing at the same time. I've worked on games in my past where it felt like a chore or part of my job to play them. Fortnite I play in my free time because I find it entertaining.

Not sure there is an option in game. I tried the website and it worked fine for me.

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.

Service Stability Issues

We were not able to stay ahead of our continued growth and multiple of our backend services have been struggling under load the last several weeks (e.g. friends functionality and general login service). And we also shipped v2.3.0 with significant bugs.

We don’t consider either acceptable. We have changed our release plans & processes to help improve quality of client builds, and scrambled people to make traction on backend scalability by any means possible.


Ongoing Optimizations

When you play some Battle Royale, we want the time from when you’re in the lobby to when you’re in the action to be as short as possible. We’re continuing to work on load time improvements to help with that. You want a smoother in-game experience, and we agree!

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 :)
