Just woke up sorry I've already restarted the game but I'll try again also I never received a dm

It seems like your DMs are closed so I cannot send to you.

Hey /u/Kyogreboy42 - can you let me know if you see the Black Matte style after closing and re-opening Fortnite? I've also DM'd you to get some extra info.

Oh, thank you! Glad you liked it <3

It was so good we had to retweet the Twitter post :)

This is a great art. Also a distinct take on Marigold (kind of like a younger version). Thanks for sharing!

Hey u/Son_Of_Sausage! This is fixed in the next update. Thanks!

Hey u/Boythunder2005! Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the game? That often fixes issues like this

We have released a fix for this issue yesterday, please make sure to restart your game, it should resolve it!

have you tried deleting and re-downloading the game? or is the game fully updated/is your device fully updated?

This right here. That should fix it for you u/lucarioYiff448!
