    Now, since I got Fortnite to work, I don't even know how to explain it, but I'll deduce what may have caused it. We all know that the error has been appearing for 4 days, when I contacted support I asked for the settings to be reset and without success.

    @MrTravan @BaitMeta @Fortnite your definition of a what a masculine male looks like might be broken. I'm sorry. In just today's store, I count six male non-collab characters that are more muscular than average real world soldiers. The original argument was about dads and included collabs.

    @Fortnite fix your game -Skins are reseting to default in matches -vending machines dont work in reloud -The map is not being loaded properly when u get in the battle-bus And prob much more

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    The gameplay video you mentioned, tagged with "inf render," likely involves cheating. It seems to show a visibility exploit, possibly a wallhack, letting the player see through obstacles or across the map, which isn't a standard Fortnite mechanic. Epic Games actively bans such cheats and sues developers, suggesting this isn't legitimate. While high ground or items like the Grappler can boost visibility, they don't match the "inf render" effect. Community reports also point to frequent cheating issues. If you think it's a cheat, report it in-game for Epic to review.

    I’ll be trying to have video games in the stream. Getting the sticks is also a paid service. You can take your shot at a Fortnite match or game of your choice if I have it. Pickup basketball games is a probability. You gotta pay to get in, but winner gets a portion of the pot.

  • TheShape93 The Shape (@TheShape93) reported

    You idiot's have NO IDEA how to balance this game. The mammoth pistol should not be hitscan, nor should it be in reload. ITS BROKEN for the size of the maps. But what do i know, im just a peasant that has been basically another play tester for you. @Fortnite

  • ghost78x ghost78x (@ghost78x) reported

    @fortnite @FortniteStatus fix the game I’m tired of loading in a game as a default
