  • EldfyreAbyss Eldfyre Rift, The Abysmal (TLR Member) (@EldfyreAbyss) reported

    @FortniteGame Having your Halloween event focus on a rave party was a problem already. Save the weird rave for later it didn't fit the spooky theme. The inquisitor even looks goofy with that stupid visor. Half of the new skins aren't even Halloween related.

  • SToumazi sugarandspice (@SToumazi) reported

    @BHAFC_smithy @bt_uk UGH same for me! I connected with LAN cable, NAT still not working, most games working but fortnite stuck on 'checking for updates'

  • HIPHOPHUBx HIP HOP HUB (@HIPHOPHUBx) reported

    @iFireMonkey @FortniteGame I’d rather die irl than be stuck on that station with the glitch that won’t let u change stations or turn it off. So god please no do not listen to this man

  • bigteethbigbite ash (@bigteethbigbite) reported

    @Starry_Ari_ Hello everyone, concerned Christian Father here. My son has recently got into the game called Fortnite? I've spent well over $500 on this game and its becoming a problem. Apparently the game is down right now and its causing a lot distress for my child. He keeps taking my newspap

  • TwitchSyrfFN VE Voltur (@TwitchSyrfFN) reported

    any1 else's fortnite not working? I cant even load up the launcher without it saying connection error, I'm so confused cause my internet and ethernet are working just fine

  • mmofallout Connor (@mmofallout) reported

    Fortnite will occasionally be like "you alt-tabbed out while I'm loading, therefore I'm going to crap the bed and crash for the next ten minutes. Have fun, loser."

  • CatchBTW Catch (@CatchBTW) reported

    people who say that their life sucks because of fortnite or gaming are bullshitting themselves, its only a problem if you let it be a problem

  • Ethanfn___ Ethanfn 🎃 (@Ethanfn___) reported

    Why wont fortnite or twitch load up? And when I go on twitch mobile the chat don't work? Servers down for fn and twitch?

  • SportFanatic00 Cyro (@SportFanatic00) reported

    @TheSnyderFan @MTPbuzzlightyr @TheMW2Ghost I could see the vehicles causing issues on round based game modes, but in respawn it’s just a matter of the cars blowing up once and it’s done. Can’t handle a death or two to grenades? Quit whining, go play Fortnite or something lol

  • Graham_2011 Gdawg Claus 🤶 (@Graham_2011) reported

    @FortniteGame I've got no updates either. It's just not working

  • SToumazi sugarandspice (@SToumazi) reported

    @DowndetectorUK YES! For me most games connect except for Fortnite... stuck on 'checking for updates'. NAT type failing on connection test. Seems to be a playstation or @bt_uk problem???

  • alilauder ⚫️ 🔶 Alison Lauder (@alilauder) reported

    @EpicGames I can’t log in to Fortnite or the Epic Games Launcher. I can’t reinstall the launcher either. Is it a problem at your end?

  • Wavzbtw #Limit Wavz (@Wavzbtw) reported

    @DarlaClaire__ i just injured my **** from hitting clips on fortnite bc i actually hit clips with my **** but can you fix it for me mommy😩

  • HeroicLauncher Heroic Games Launcher (@HeroicLauncher) reported

    @FirstSonofLight @SteamDeckHQ No. The problem with Fortnite is their anti-cheat configuration that is set to not support Linux. So the developers are the ones that need to fix that.

  • nathangreensmi4 nathan greensmith (@nathangreensmi4) reported

    why is my fortnite not working it keeps saying connecting on my screen and i cant get rid of it

  • Fringey91 Fringey91 (@Fringey91) reported

    @FortniteGame seem to be having trouble getting beyond the ‘connecting’ screen. On PSN with a stable internet connection. Any issues??

  • JossSamuel Joss Samuel Peters (@JossSamuel) reported

    ALERT: for anyone trying and failing to access anything @EpicGames related, if your ISP is @bt_uk, that’s why. BT is currently having issues with multiple things for some reason. Don’t worry, your fortnite, rocket league or fall guys accounts are not banned.

  • 1Kraft1 Kraft._. (@1Kraft1) reported

    @MeroFN I can‘t lie the dead body glitch is probably one of the worst glitches that Fortnite has ever had. It can literally ruin your endgame so easily

  • RubyPlaysTV RubyPlays 💎 (@RubyPlaysTV) reported

    @YTAveeva @_jokerr74 @TwitchSupport It says connection error loading up Fortnite too?! What is going on?!

  • RyDoge101 RyDoge101 (Wisp 👻✨) (@RyDoge101) reported

    -half the problems in an actually ****** game or undermine the qualities of a good one. Literally as a Fortnite fan they rated Hollow Knight lower and I call bullshit on that.

  • Jake11205163 Jake (@Jake11205163) reported

    @FortniteGame The scariest thing to happen in this game is your inability to fix glitches.

  • MFiltini MrFiltini (@MFiltini) reported

    @bigpp69420666 @FortniteGame Your problem

  • PhysicsSwitch Fortnite Switch Physics (@PhysicsSwitch) reported

    @ShiinaBR What to expect in tmrw's update Switch edition: - You might need to reinstall Fortnite entirely due to storage space - Capes will still suck - Harley's hair will still hang in front of her eyes - Chrome weapon texture may be black or actually chrome, who knows - Game might crash

  • flirzed Flirzed (@flirzed) reported

    @LalicLive @FortniteGame @saralandrydj I have exactly same issue

  • tristanevrs ◉⃤Ťr𝒊ﮑϯƌŊ ◉⃤ (@tristanevrs) reported

    @MadMikeVidz @CxRobin_ @InfinityWard I didn’t say it’s ABOUT realism, but it’s had MODES for it, they ADDED some more realistic handling which is GOOD, if you can’t compete go play overwatch or fortnite with lame lasers no recoil and retarded movement which was removed from cod cos it was a broken mechanic exploit

  • NOTmemebrane memebrane (@NOTmemebrane) reported

    @PhysicsSwitch @ShiinaBR I mean what do you expect ? Switch is a low end console. It's got low end specs, low end compatibility, and low potential regarding larger games like Fortnite. It's built for games of less power. If u have that much of a problem, just play on a console or PC. Even mobile, sure.
