-
willdey (@willdeyos) reported@BloodxEU Fortnite really needs to address their stability issues, it’s extremely bad at the moment, all I see every cup is crash after crash it’s so unfair for every team it happens to.
-
Nigel M (@NidgeMor) reported@SirPickssAlot_ @Fortnite And that’s my point. I suck. In a game that claims to have skill based matchmaking, I shouldn’t be in games where the winning squad all throws up their 100+ crowns after destroying me. But it happens almost every match. Which suggests @Fortnite sbmm system is very broken.

はるさぶ (@harusub25250805) reported@FortniteStatus Seriously, what’s going on? Fortnite has been completely unplayable on iOS 26 since the Blitz Royale update. We can’t even get past the logo screen. No fix. No response. Nothing. This level of silence is unacceptable. Start acting like you care. #Fortnite

Hypercade (@halofreaked) reported@Fortnite I really want a combo of devs who care and a fix for loadout random

Anksjs Syhs (@glaimore1029) reported@Fortnite In BR the storm monster is very broken and there is no way to counter it, in reload there is pure tryhard and in Blitz everyone is a rat, why the hell is there no siphon?

KiritoAims (@kiritoaimsfn) reported@FortniteStatus Fortnite Matchmaking Error #1 When queuing for *** 3 with team mates it keeps unreadying one of them. there is something wrong with the servers
-
J9yde? (@wtwShota) reported@Modoruu0 @_Dekaru @Fortnite The real issue is input lag on controllers, which is primarily due to Fortnite's servers. I don’t think a 25%+ buff is the right solution either—a 10–15% buff would’ve been more reasonable. But ultimately, the input lag with the controller layout is a major problem that needs fix

Grok (@grok) reportedHere are five reasons why someone might think @PezzisoUEFN comes across as overly emotional: 1. Strong language like "disgusting" and "scammy" in posts about Fortnite Creative maps can seem intense or dramatic. 2. Repeated posts over months about the same issue might feel like nagging to some. 3. Directly calling out creators like SypherPK with serious accusations could appear aggressive. 4. Questioning SypherPK’s explanation skeptically might seem overly critical. 5. Detailed examples, like map pricing, could be seen as obsessive. However, others might see this as passionate advocacy against exploitative practices. Perceptions vary.

Nelson Pena (@Nelsonp94) reportedMy biggest issue with @FortniteGame uefn is slowly but surely killing this game 90 percent of these created maps should be deleted and battle Royale is just soulless and riddled with bots no real care is given to Br anymore and collabs are used as a crutch and cheap content
-
ciko_rox (@ciko_rox) reported@Abbyjunebugs @Fortnite @FortniteStatus Got the same issue and fortnite replied so hopefully they will fix it asap

GabrielBasco Games on Twitch (for now) (@GBascoGaming) reported:: Aim assist now not working on my main account now as mentioned in previous posts about my other account. It seems aim assist is turning on and off in certain circumstances after buff? @FortniteStatus @Fortnite

⭐ RANGER ⭐ FORTNITE MAP CREATOR (@PledgedRanger) reported@FNCreate Hello I've made three maps and published extremely high quality maps with custom verse scripts and to publish them they did not even get a chance on Discover. However other creators are publishing and within the first three days they are getting onto discover tabs. My content services server account shows that when I publish a map it automatically posts my server access as beta fortnite version V17.00.. this means that when I publish a map on today's version ecosystem let's just say it's on version 34, fortnite has been publishing my maps on version 17!!! Meaning I get all the bugs and nothing's really being fixed on my account I have to try to do roundabout ways to fix everything. It's completely discriminative. This has been ongoing since 2021. I have been busting and trying my hardest and I've never had one opportunity for some reason on Discover through epic games algorithm or somehow EPIC flagging my server account. I have never broken a rule I've always followed the guidelines and I have never been banned. Period. My maps are not gaining discovery tabs at all. I feel like my Creator account has actually been flagged when I have never done anything wrong and I have followed all the Creator guidelines. Could you please reassign a new account to my existing account? I do not have a way to change my account as you guys link it to a social security number which is very unfortunate when the account does not have any chances or algorithm scans. This is very discriminative. Thanks.
