Weekend Issues Update Of Fortnite

We’ve recently been able to identify, prioritize, and solve several issues thanks to your help. Clear video evidence, detailed descriptions of problems, and game logs go a long way in helping to accelerate fixes. Thank you!

Reboot Van spawning issues.

We discovered an error in which players could respawn if the rebooter did not completely finish the reboot channelled interaction. This bug also caused the game to eliminate the rebooted players after a few seconds. We temporarily disabled the Reboot Van in competitive modes to avoid any potential scoring issues while we worked on a solve.

Thanks to your help, we’ve fixed and rebooted the Reboot Van in all competitive modes. The Reboot Van now functions as intended; if the rebooter is eliminated while attempting to reboot a teammate, the Reboot stops and is unsuccessful, and both players will be eliminated.

HLOD textures failing to fully load in Tilted Towers, Retail Row, and Polar Peak.

This was brought to our attention and hotfixed early Saturday morning.

We’re continuing to carefully monitor this, so please continue to call it out if you experience texture issues within Fortnite.

Players unable to build after gliding.

We discovered an issue where players are unable to build after landing from a glider.

We’ve managed to reproduce this bug internally and have slotted a fix in an upcoming release (targeting v9.00).

Turbo Building issues.

Thanks to your help, we discovered a bug with Turbo Build that appears to be tied to certain networking conditions that would cause players to be unable to build for a few frames.

We implemented a hotfix on 5/1 which we believe will help address this issue under most network conditions, but we’re still not 100% certain we’ve fixed all cases. We will be closely tracking the fix to make sure the issue is resolved, so please let us know if you run into any additional problems.

You can follow our progress with other bugs and issues with our Trello board here.

We have prepared Fortnite Items and fortnite materials for you.
