Hi, everyone.

We’re beginning downtime for v12.61.

When downtime ends, we’ll let you know both here in this thread and on FortniteStatus.

Thank you!

Commanders,

The v12.61 update is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26. Downtime begins at 2 AM ET (0600 UTC).

We’ll update you both on FortniteStatus and this sub when downtime begins and ends.

Thank you!

Thanks for the report. Our team is aware of and currently investigating this issue.

Hi, all!

We've released a maintenance patch on PC and Mac to address stability. This patch is available to download upon launching or restarting the game.

Thank you!

We didn't nerf either one of those. We did fix an issue that was causing affliction to proc Hero abilities / Weapon procs. It's definitely not the intention to proc things that are fun... but we have to strike a line between what's fun vs extremely over powered.

This proc interaction was one of those cases where it was performing way higher than we were comfortable with and needed to be fixed.

I’m getting all sorts of sound bugs. Hearing things like people finding the see-bots from across the map, or my BASE making activation noises when I’m nowhere near it.

Hello! Do you think you could get me a video of any of the audio issues you're running into?

Deyruu

Anyone else getting a constant click-clacking sound in all the Homebase menus since the update? It appears to be the same sound the yellow triangle-shaped robot in the "Upgrades" section makes while clicking its fingers together.

Also, haven't seen it on the trello but I've been completely unable to rename my Locker Loadouts in StW since at least a few nights before the update.

On PS4. I attempt to rename the Loadout, hit "Accept", and nothing happens. Backing out and making repeat attempts usually results in a blank blue background with just the character model on screen, forcing me to hit the Options button and choose "Select Game Mode" in order to get my menus back.

Still the same after the latest update.

Thanks for pointing these issues out, u/Deyruu! I've made our QA team aware so these can be investigated.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion, u/RoeiNarkisxD! I will forward this feedback to the appropriate team.

Commanders,

Downtime has ended for v12.60.

So you could not had the VA phone in their voice lines? It not like you having them mocap scenes, just getting heros is not content. It would be nice that you told us what you guys are working so can have some idea what to expect from you guys.

So you could not had the VA phone in their voice lines

Definitely not that simple. I wish it was!

Sorry, I am new player, why is it considered a pirate event with pirate llamas if there is no questline?

There was supposed to be a pirate narrative live during this time which is why you are seeing the new Heroes rotate into the shop. :) The narrative had to be delayed due to the current circumstances.

Maybe we'll get a leak of that "new major feature"

Not quite yet!

Lol you funny right skins are not content dude but I see where you can get it mixed up. I don’t want to get to technically with you and on top of that I play any skin it what it’s used for guy. But I am true end game not knocking what people use now which is good heroes and weapons for up and comers but content for other people are twine storyline and different events.

skins are not content

Heroes are definitely more than just a skin. Each one has it's own Commander / Standard perk that fills out your squad. They do a lot more than just make your character look pretty!

ReturnoftheSnek

Any news regarding the big upcoming feature you teased about a month ago?

No news that we're ready to share as of this moment. Still working to lock down a few more details.

Scotty_begood-

Any update as to the status of endurance crashing? No update on the trello since your reddit post.

We're still deep diving on all of the client logs that have been submitted and picking out the abnormalities. Thank you to those who sent logs over as it's definitely been helpful. Please keep doing so!

Commanders,

Update v12.60 is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20. Downtime will begin at 2 AM ET (0600 UTC).

No, that sometimes there are a lot of them. They walk in groups of 10 and the game turns into a bombardment simulator. Complaints about this regularly appear here, Magyst promised us to fix it a few months ago.

In the Homebase Status Report from 2/20 there is mention of "new mixes of enemy waves". Sometimes you may hit a wave that has more Huskies vs Lobbers and vice versa. We did some more alterations based on then feedback around the amount of Lobbers during the Love Storm event.

I can have the team take another pass on the Lobber spawn rates and make sure it's not broken.
