    How does Fortnite always manage to **** up the game when they release an update? my game has literally been running on 90fps today. @FortniteGame Please fix it. It took days to get this problem fixed when this new season launched.

  • nathen_brummel nathen brummel (@nathen_brummel) reported

    @FortniteStatus im on pc and on performance been having the issue for months im in the middle of game and it’ll black screen and repeat the last noise on loop. or i’ll blue screen and have issues booting up my pc for the next 4 hours. fortnite is not optimized for gaming

  • VajeenMachine disabled ape (@VajeenMachine) reported

    @Dragonflame1090 @Arikadou If they did it like fortnite wouldn’t be a issue, they give you enough to buy the pass back and get some on top of that, not to mention they let you unlock skins through in game work. I dont even like the game but their model is fantastic and is part of why they’re so successful

  • LeaksWulf bubblegumpeels (@LeaksWulf) reported

    @FNBRWatch NOOOOOOOO EPIC BANNED ME FROM PLAYING CUPS @FortniteGame PLEASE FIX THAT YOU MUST HAVE 2FA SCREEN I WANT THIS SPRAY PLEASE I NEED YOU TO SEND US THE SPRAY

  • ZAFSInitiative ZA Fortnite Server initiative (@ZAFSInitiative) reported

    @FortniteGame Your new update is ******* *** my hub is all messed up and spamming random bullshit I even restarted my console fix your ******* game

  • RedistrictGirl Redistrict Girl (@RedistrictGirl) reported

    @gwenckatz As for video games, well... their reliance on running franchises for decades makes the problem worse, especially in the case of Nintendo, whose dedicated fans are rapidly approaching Disney Adult-tier. But the success of Overwatch and Fortnite actually give me hope.

  • swagggmaster200 señoritos (@swagggmaster200) reported

    Fortnite lag absent dad hit the dab

  • ScrawnyRhino Chelsie (@ScrawnyRhino) reported

    Got all excited to login and play #fortnitemares only for my whole game to be glitching and not working 😭 fix it @FortniteGame

  • MrHurtYourFeelz Mr.Irrelevant (@MrHurtYourFeelz) reported

    @FortniteGame Legit just used this... and worse than lightsaber if someone else has them... the lag to hit ratio damage is terrible. Legit started hitting someone before they equipped them, then while they were howling, again after howling.. only to be hit twice and killed. #dookiegame

  • ParkerMurden Parker Murden (@ParkerMurden) reported

    @NayfePacewell For a long time I said they should do what Fortnite did with shotguns to fix double pumping. After you shoot one gun there is a delay before being able to switch to the other gun

  • BFifeATalyor Stefanie (@BFifeATalyor) reported

    @FortniteGame I can’t get her face to load correctly. Is this just a switch glitch or everyone having this issue?
