Players using Iron Man’s boosters were spending too much time in the air. The delay to boost while already mid-air with this Mythic Avenger item has been increased from 4s to 8s.

The cooldown will reset once you’re back on solid ground.

We're starting to gather more data around this but it seems like the command line is not improving performance for players. We're still investigating the issue and reviewing data.

I would have done the same thing :) Thanks for reporting the issue. Our team is looking into a fix.

Today there was the v8.40 update and I still find the same problem. I have an ATI Radeon 5800 Series and an Intel Xeon, they are not the best components for playing Fortnite, but with additional command line arguments in Fortnite's Epic Games launcher, quality degradation in my Windows 8.1, energy savings and more I was able to reach 100 FPS.

Now, after the v8.30 update and the v8.40 update I still have these FPS drops. Solve Thanks.

We're aware that the 8.40 update did not resolve all of the performance issues players were reporting in 8.30. We're continuing to investigate the issue. Additionally the command line we included in our patch notes has not been effective in improving performance in 8.40

Hey there!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're looking into the issue. We're aware that 8.30 has caused performance issues for players. We're still investigating the issue. Can you tell me what specs your Lenovo Legion has?

We’re aware of the issue and are looking into it. We could always use more information. Anyone experiencing this issue can send me a message with their Epic ID and the platform you are playing on. I’ll follow up with those on further information we may need.

nice! but the 80 megabyte mini patch you guys released earlier today to adress dualcore cpu performance literally destroyed the performance for other users including me, im on a quadcore i5 and getting major frame stutters and frame drops now down as low as ~ 30 randomly and then right back up to 120 which is my framecap very often :/ (like 10-20 times per minute)

 

in my case, average/maximum fps is still good tho and at same levels as after the 8.30 improvements, but the constant stutters and drops after the small patch today is the issue, game was running better than ever for me after 8.30 but now, after this last small patch its no point for me at all to even play with the hitching, :/

Thanks for bringing this up. We're looking into this issue but we could also use your help. We could use your logs and a DX diagnostic.

Hello, I'll try to provide as much information as I can.

I am running on a low-end PC:

  • Intel Xeon W3520
  • 8GB RAM DDR3
  • AMD Radeon HD 7470

I am playing on 1280x720, 33.3% 3D resolution, I used to get 50-60+ FPS before 8.30 update.

After the update, the FPS is still as it is in the pre-game lobby and in the bus, the sooner I get to the ground while landing (more render happens), the more the FPS starts decreasing. It drops from 30-40 while landing to 7-15 (max) as soon as I reach the ground.

And stays like that during the whole game (20-40 max).

Epic ID: LTS ElzeerX

I am not sure what it is but if it is a program or something, surely I can.

Thanks for the info!

Hey there!

Thanks for reporting this issue. We'll start investigating, but we could use your help. Could you provide any of the following directly: Logs, Epic ID or a replay file from the match.

We deployed a hotfix reducing the health of The Baller from 300 to 200.

In the 8.20 patch notes, we said we would add the ability to shoot through the glass of Ballers in a future update. We’ve played with shooting through glass and it didn’t feel like the right solution.

Drop in and let us know what you think!

Hey there!

We were performing maintenance on party features during this time which is likely the reason why you had this issue. We're no longer performing maintenance, please reach out if you are continuing to have this issue!
