  • _jamiem_ Jamie | Dm Limit (@_jamiem_) reported

    @rxtprx Don’t need to fix them to play fortnite

  • StaweckiMichael Michael Stawecki (@StaweckiMichael) reported

    @ModernWarzone But the issue is. Cod players, me included, don't want a "proper" BR. We like the style we have had. Why change up what's obviously working? You don't see PUBG/ Fortnite changing their entire style of play overnight. They change maps. That's all that was needed here too.

  • GabrielSucea Gabriel Sucea (@GabrielSucea) reported

    @CallofDuty Make it playable pls it's so bad atm... so much potential, love the way the guns feel and react and the fact that you don't need 20 bullets for a kill like in warzone 1 aka fortnite v2, but that's about it, everything else is bad - lag, performance, lacks more game modes, crashes

  • samantha_natoli Sam Natoli (@samantha_natoli) reported

    2nd month in a row i haven’t gotten my vbucks from my #fortnite crew subscription @FortniteStatus @FortniteGame any way to fix that???

  • MrJoeSterne Joe Sterne ☕️☁️ (@MrJoeSterne) reported

    @FortniteGame is absolutely gorgeous on that screen. @SeaOfThieves works great, even launched from the MS launcher and not @Steam. It’s so weird. I’m probably a couple years away from Cooper wanting a machine and I’m worried I may not be able to fix stuff like this

  • GigaChadBJN 🌚 Chr0m3d BoJaN 🌌 (@GigaChadBJN) reported

    Bro i legit can't even play Fortnite, since this update almost every game of Fortnite i play just disconnects me and i lag so much

  • TheKidEbz Ebz (@TheKidEbz) reported

    @znderlol @FortniteGame bro maybe get a good pc??? HAHAHAHAHAHAH dog **** pc i never crash

  • Cactusoda_ Cactusoda 🔺 (@Cactusoda_) reported

    @iwillpat Can understand these for a lot of games in industry, where there are collectibles like Fortnite and warzone, generally online games, but there too many problems to solve offline before in Pokémon.
