Fortnite: Battle Royale Dev Tracker

Hey u/Leakie_, what device are you playing on? Can you please send in a in-game bug report when this happens next and then dm me? Thanks!

Which creative island were you in? Was this using the Tab S7?

Hey /u/Sussy_Dora and thread,

We're addressing this in our next big game update in the coming weeks, and will be adding a glow color to the Inverted and Gold styles for Skull Trooper as well as updating it so there is a separate toggle for eye glow for every style across the board.

Thanks for your feedback!

Competitors, here are the important notes for v22.30.

  • The Skywalker Week changes and Pulse Rifle are not included in competitive playlists.
  • The Hunter Bolt-Action Sniper has been removed from tournament playlists.
  • The Explosive Goo Gun has been removed from Zero Build tournament playlists.

We're aware of an issue with sprinting and have a fix in the works for 22.30 that should resolve it!

Hey /u/Exciting-Ad-4173 - We've posted a few workarounds that may resolve this issue on our Status twitter here:

As a workaround to fix the controller navigation issues players can do the following:

1) In your PlayStation Settings, set turn off auto log in and Restart the PlayStation.

2) Choose the account to log into once restarted and Launch FN.

Also happens on PC.

FWIW, I did some experimenting.

  • The bug consistently tiggers whenever a player entity begins the swim animation (i.e. when entering any body of water). Player entities also includes bots spawned by a player throwing bot grenades directly into water (whether an enemy bot or friendly bot is spawned doesn't matter, the bug triggers regardless)
  • The bug occurs on both private and public lobbies, though the bug is much more apparent on public lobbies. In a private lobby on my own, I did not experience the bug once when actively avoiding using bot grenades or entering any water/triggering the swim animation. On public lobbies, with number of players ranging up to the max 16 in a lobby, the longest I've managed without experiencing the bug is 20 minutes (at the start, when number of players is typically <8).
  • When triggered, the bug doesn't occur across the whole lobby simultaneously (AFAIK this never happens), nor is a whole squad affected simultaneously (atleast not consistently enough to guarantee players of the same team are always affected concurrently).
  • The bug is not limited to a specific location or distance. The bug still affects players wherever they are. Even if AFK and idling in the hub, players can be teleported to the hub while in the hub multiple times (approximately 10-20 times per minute on average).

Hope this helps.

Definitely helps. Thanks for the added info!

Would you be able to identify them? 🤔

I'm on the bottom right, Mark Rein you saw (it really was him, I grabbed him to sign ;) ) Dani H (QA lead), Dom B, (Level Designer) Chris S, (Community) Bill F, (Producer) Chris G, (Engineer) Steve S, (Game Designer), DJ W. (QA), Mitch M. (Community)
A few more I'm not sure of. It's been a minute!

Honestly, I have no idea. I doubt they still work there.

Hmmmm, I may know some of those folks ;)

Hey u/wonderfrogz! Can you please try and sign out of any other profiles you have on your PlayStation and see if that helps?

Battle Lab is 100% broken. Constantly sending player to the hub

Thanks for this report. Passing it along to be looked into. What device do you play on?

BUG REPORT UPDATE:

The bug is probably related to the number of accounts used on a particular PlayStation. I use two accounts at the same time, but if I log out of one of them, the bug goes away. Same with my friend’s PlayStation.

This is really interesting, thanks for passing this info along. Hopefully, this helps narrow down the cause a bit!

Bug: navigation in all menus not working. Gives the appearance like a button is being spammed and disables the ability to do anything.

Examples encountered/tried so far: • Battle Pass Tab - stuck like it’s selected/spamming the bonus rewards tab. Cannot select, cannot move through any other sections on this page. Nothing visually showing, sound effect of a button spam is heard. • Compete Tab: seems to work fine • Locker Tab: cannot navigate to anything. No visual indicator of what is current selected/hovered on, emotes not displaying at all, cannot select anything inside locker. • Item Shop Tab: automatically stuck on the top second item (currently for its Mr. Meeseeks Outfit), shows the button to be like it is spam clicking, gives the same sound effect, cannot navigate left it right through the shop only and down with no ability to select and go into an item. • Career Tab: visual glitching to look like a button is being spammed, sound effect also can be heard, visual touch on the achievement cards where they appear to be glitching up and down. • VBUCKS Tab: same thing as above, no left or right navigation working and cannot select into anything.

• Quests/Map/Collections Menu: Slight visual glitch can be seen, navigation seems to be working in here but the sound effect of the button spam can be heard. • Friends/Menu Tab: Visual Glitch appearing along with the sound effect, cannot do anything eg. Select on friends to invite, join party etc, can move the navigation up and down but that’s about it.

• Game Discovery Tab: functioning fine, but once game type is selected, cannot use the menu to select the game mode eg. Solo, duos, squads etc.

• No overly noticeable in game errors, but when moving items in inventory, visual glitch appears there as well, it allows you to move the items, but then resets your POV in the game to be pointing down towards the ground regardless of where you were positioned before moving the items. Also at the end of a game when the i game me u appears, the glitch happens again on that menu so you cannot choose between the different end game options such as ready up etc. after switching back and forth between game stats and the menu, it will let you hold X to return to lobby, but that’s it.

Little bit hard to play with all the other issues occurring and not being able to invite people to party or accept invites etc. so unsure if further issues, these are just what I immediately experienced when logging in after the update and unfortunately will have to wait for these to be fixed before trying to play again as it’s just too big of an issue trying to play the game when I am stuck only being able to ready you on the game mode I was playing prior to the update.

Have tried restarting game etc, same issues experienced.

Platform: PS5

Seen a few reports about this and we're looking into this issue now.
