    Guys I have question and this goes to people that have ps5s and would be on fortnite. How can you get good pings? For me every time it’s just people lagging not crazy, just a little

  • SouthieFromSTW1 FossilSouthie (@SouthieFromSTW1) reported

    My alt acc still can't log in Fortnite I get some weird tracking error Support said they're working on fixing it I just wanna make sure my alt isn't banned :/

  • thegreat8_1 thegreat8_1 (@thegreat8_1) reported

    @ImAkaFlag I feel you but that’s every game. I have no problem with seasons because every game has the battle pass from fortnite and created their own version. Just make the rewards grinding. Nobody wants a snowman suit or bunny suit. How is the season 1 level 40 reward better than legend?

  • Marty60fps Marty (@Marty60fps) reported

    @ZaxiFNBR Tbh if there buying pc for other **** than that’s fine but only fort Fortnite than that’s a problem

  • nameisname7 jin kazuma (@nameisname7) reported

    @FortniteGame you guys need to fix your game. Its lagging like crazy, and has severe freezing and frame issues.

  • boltactionbeaut Denny (@boltactionbeaut) reported

    Dr Disrespect crying that no games are ‘fun to play.’ Dude all you do is play FPS games for children with less developed brains than you, and then you get mad that Fortnite kids stunt on you. like you are the problem dude not the game

  • Prowl8413Gaming Prowl8413Gaming (@Prowl8413Gaming) reported

    Hmmm... wonder if I should make a @FortniteGame settings video? I've seen @ninja mention problems with being able to use DX12 + stream... 99% sure this is due to some new settings enabled due to using Unreal engine 5.1 A few key setting changes make a HUGE FPS difference.

  • 25thFeliz Feliz (@25thFeliz) reported

    @bowserzeki @FortniteGame Bro posts a disgustingly broken bug and proceeds to say don't fix this

  • BongoTett C.H.O.N.G.O. (@BongoTett) reported

    @Whiskyandink117 @Jojo4MVS @FortniteGame Not my issue you can't comprehend peak fiction ngl 🥱 JoJo's isn't the serious where the finale completely ruins everyone's characters, that'd be Halo 3. Just the hypocrisy you present is insane.

  • x_chachii Quality ChaChiiz (@x_chachii) reported

    @GamingModKits Hey I'm having a problem with the joystick GMK in fortnite. After the third game it freezes and I have to disconnect it and reconnect it to make it respond again…What do you think could be the problem? Is there any way to reset the driver or update the joystic?

  • SalimValko SalimValko (@SalimValko) reported

    @KieranRamnarine My kid starts acting up? We ground him from his switch. We don't take it away, don't hide it up on a high shelf. He just... Doesn't touch it. It stays docked in his room. Fortnite ain't the problem. Jebus.

    @FNCompetitive Fortnite competitive go down without brakes...from chapter 3 .Fix all Bugs first, remove hammer and Excalibur

  • SC21012022 S C (@SC21012022) reported

    @andyNgcobo7 @Chris_Dring It’s a load of bullshit, partner has a series S and fortnite runs fine Ignore the Sony shills, they’re seriously jealous of Xbox and how superior game pass is, Sony couldn’t make a dashboard that doesn’t lag to save itself, absolutely dogshit company with poor ethics. Xbox >

  • OSUKSD • g r o t t o j a c k • (@OSUKSD) reported

    @FortniteGame Fix the **** servers. 2.5 gig fiber the lag is unreal

  • bostaff420 Bostaff420 (@bostaff420) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers my brother ( like 10 y/o at the time) used my cc to buy vbucks. it wasn't appearing on my moms card so he thought he found a glitch or something. next thing i know i have a 120$ vbucks bill added to my name. feels fortnite man

  • ohrisk_YT OhRisk (@ohrisk_YT) reported

    @FortniteGame @MrBeast Can you fix the bugs along with adding @MrBeast

  • EricxDKG Eric k (@EricxDKG) reported

    Damn dude at this point I honestly don’t know what’s worst off. #CallofDuty or #fortnite both are just equally trashy. Neither of them have anything consistent except being horrible anymore. Hit detection, ttk both slow an horrible. Not to mention ALL the lag

  • boltdt BoltDoubleT✝️ (@boltdt) reported

    @NickAdamsinUSA 1: Hitler is dead. Europe is liberated. The generation "raised on Fortnite and TikTok" can't redefeat Hitler and reliberate Europe. 2: wtf is your issue with people identifying as who they are? 3: climate change is a huge issue 4: Christianity is as huge as ever L + Ratio

  • MicStixFN MicStix (@MicStixFN) reported

  • jeonghoist 🌧 (@jeonghoist) reported

  • darrylwhaley7 darryl whaley (@darrylwhaley7) reported

    @FortniteGame when is the sprinting issue being fixed ????? #fortnite

  • JacksterR101 naruto uzumaki (@JacksterR101) reported

    @Iesbians4geto @Artlab7299 @sushibins So, why should there be a problem that they don’t have black characters in the game, plus it’s made by a Chinese company they don’t care, fortnite is American that’s why Fortnite has more black characters, sorry you can’t comprehend that

  • SirHowardCoward Sir Howard the Coward (@SirHowardCoward) reported

    Only reason I’d like to do lay fortnite is if I had my own custom character. The issue is I’d have to play it to work to getting one lol

  • kawaiicakezz Dusti ♡ (@kawaiicakezz) reported

    @FortniteGame Why are you not fixing all these glitches and server issues? The augmentation patch is nice and all however… There needs to be a patch for the sprint issues and the server issues. Every other game I play I am having trouble loading in or unable to sprint.

  • GearzyX GizGiz 🐼 (@GearzyX) reported

    @Rand0m520 @CJbutNewer truth be told id call the hammer balanced imo. i have legitimately never died to it just fix its ability to hit people through walls and its fine. fortnite is only fortnite because of the goofy and fun ideas it has its not a normal br and people need to stop acting like it is

  • novici0us Noviciou$ (@novici0us) reported

    @AgileFTW @FortniteGame @FortniteStatus I hope they fix it with tomorrow's update

    @FortniteGame fix the damn servers! I’m on 2.5 GIG fiber and this game is so laggy it’s unreal.

  • MagaFreedom6862 🇺🇸 Freedom Fighter 🇺🇸 (@MagaFreedom6862) reported from Bountiful, Utah

    Fortnite really needs to fix the damn glitching problems with the new chapter, this is madness trying to play this and I can’t run I’m sent back to lobby randomly, this is craziness.

  • Neartho_Fork Fork 🇨🇵 (@Neartho_Fork) reported

    @AussieAntics Fortnite competitive community is the reason this game is getting less andnless fun content, since the beginning They're the problem there
