Fortnite bugs “Taking longer than expected to fix"

4.2

Epic Games has said that bugs that are plaguing the latest build of popular battle royale game Fortnite are taking much longer than expected to fix.

Version 2.4.0 of Fortnite was due to be released yesterday, but that has been delayed to deal with continued problems.

“We hear your concerns regarding bugs that you are experiencing since V.2.3.0, especially those regarding building,” said Epic. “It’s taking us longer than expected to fix these issues and we’re working through some major ones. If we’re unable to fix them today the v2.4.0 release will be delayed. Once we have a better idea of when the patch will arrive we’ll update everyone.”

As a result, Epic is going to revert some of its older building UI and systems to speed building up in game when version 2.4.0 is eventually released. Players have been struggling with a bug whereby a different object is built to the one selected, among other issues.

“In order to help make building feel better we’ll be reverting to the building bar system that was present in V.2.2.0. We intend on finding a more permanent fix to make building and item selection feel more crisp in the future. We’ve also added some tools to help us better diagnose in-game issues when new bugs do arise.”

“Reverted building is planned to come with 2.4.0, and we’re working on a slightly longer-term improvement without some of the bugs we’ve seen people experiencing,” offered Epic.

“We know it’s been frustrating for our players, but it’s a tough nut to crack and we need a bit more time than we want to make you wait for the other great fixes, features, and content we’ve got lined up. We figured the best thing we could do would be to restore it to the state it was in with 2.2.0, and take another shot at improving the feel and responsiveness of building in the near future.”

Earlier this week Fortnite offered compensation to players affected by the latest problems, which come after a major update to the map which added new locations and biomes.

Just want the building fixed and to be able to pull my gun out right away honestly. Also, if the PC people can double pump then we should be able to as well. There is a slight delay compared to PC when switching weapons which makes it nearly impossible to have the actual speed the double pump should have on PC. As scummy as it is, if they can do it we should be able to as well.

Oh and for the love of god, lets let that minigun overheat at some point.

It's sad that PUBG is better at developing a game than Epic.

Chat the only problem I have with this is over powered shotguns & hit detection

do you even play the game? The pump range nerf was ok, but the damage nerf has rendered shotguns unless you're doubling up; useless. If i've got a green pump but i'm crit'ing someone for 7 then obviously something is wrong.

Anyways, since i'd say the end of October the game has gone downhill. Servers aren't optimised, speed building no longer works on consoles, building selection is busted, can't pull out guns in beginning of games, lag, etc etc etc. The list goes on. Once purchasable items with real currency became a thing the actual quality of play-ability has decreased.

I play this game every single day mate, the Shotguns are over powered no matter what anyone says, Pumping headshot shouldn't instant kill you through full shield ( which it still does )

Snipers should instant kill you at with with shot at a headshot, but not a damn pump.. Run two or not mate, they're over powered and need a nerf.

snipers do instant kill for headshots...

not for me mate, I get 100 damage or I deal no damage because of hit detection, shot guns seem to be nerfed, but still do ALOT of damage at a decent distance, compared to every other gun in the game, they're unfair, 2 shot with a pump to the body and like 10 for a AR, regardless gotta deal with it, idm the pumps and what not just want hit detection and lag to be fixed

Shotguns aren't overpowered imo
