  • scrumpet21 Megan Reeve (@scrumpet21) reported

    @FortniteGame Are you aware of the split screen issues currently. You can't pin any locations and you are unable to look up quests! You are only able to load the map. Also, on the home screen for split screen, you are unable to take over the screen. A few bugs for split screen :(

    @FortniteGame please fix the split screen option. I can’t enjoy playing w/ my bf

  • FModelApp FModel (@FModelApp) reported

    This update includes the brand new Model Viewer, which includes support for umaps! (This is a new feature, so expect some issues) This update also includes some fixes for Fortnite Chapter 4.

  • Tickl3Slip DrTickleSlip (@Tickl3Slip) reported

    @FortniteGame You've got a serious issue with the game. Random crashing abound, PC, console, doesn't matter....you just go poof. Other bugs with queuing too. Hotfix would be nice.

  • BellsxFN Bells (@BellsxFN) reported

    Shotgun pullout speed is so garbage, fix this @FortniteGame

  • SuperFenix64 SuperFenix64 (@SuperFenix64) reported

    @AsrielXSamus @JohnnyLockson But if they are taken out of the game anyway then what's the point? Just because they are too broken? Then make a special mode where they are available forever, they are easily the best part and it's the one that gets the shaft, I'm sorry but to me being in fortnite is a joke

  • DaChaseleiker Chaseleiker (@DaChaseleiker) reported

    @InfinityBesk I think we can revert the hatred back in 2018 Fortnite is in a better state than most of other live service games in current form.
