New Fortnite Patch Out Now

Epic Games has released anoth­er patch for Fort­nite. This patch includes new fea­tures and fix­es for both Save The World mode and Bat­tle Royale.

The guid­ed mis­sile has been tem­porar­i­ly dis­abled due to an ani­ma­tion issue that was caus­ing problems.

A big addi­tion to the game is the new Replay mode. Replay allows you to cap­ture and record those awe­some Fort­nite moments and edit them with a “suite of cin­e­mat­ic settings”.

  • Fixed an issue where the Rare Scoped Assault Rifle was incor­rect­ly giv­ing an Epic ver­sion in Vend­ing Machines.
  • Fixed an issue caus­ing the Loot Lla­ma to be emp­ty in Lim­it­ed Time Modes.

GAMEPLAY

  • Lim­it­ed Time Mode: 50V50 v2
    • Two teams of 50 fight to the finish! 
      • Due to this being a “large squad” mode, Pro­file Stats will not be tracked. Dai­ly & Week­ly chal­lenges will still work, with the excep­tion of the Squad-based chal­lenges (‘Place Top 6 in Squads’, etc.).
    • Storm & Map 
      • Each team has a bus, approach­ing the island from oppo­site direc­tions. On the map, the friend­ly bus has a blue out­line, ene­my has red.
      • Final storm cir­cle vis­i­ble on min­imap at start.

      • Sup­ply drops come in batch­es of 3–6, fall every two min­utes, and only land in the final storm circle.
      • Added dot­ted line to map, which indi­cates the “bat­tle lines” between the two teams. Cross­ing the line will make run­ning into ene­mies more likely.

    • This con­fig­u­ra­tion is sim­i­lar to “Com­bat Pro”, but opti­mized for fast place­ment of build­ing pieces.

    • The first but­ton press will switch to the mapped build­ing piece, then every press after will place that piece.

  • New Squad Comms wheel 
    • This allows you to com­mu­ni­cate quick­ly with­out voice.

PERFORMANCE

  • Major opti­miza­tions + improve­ments made to con­sole load times and CPU performance. 
    • We’ve made some data lay­out opti­miza­tions in order to improve load times and per­for­mance. Load times reduced by 25–30 sec­onds as a result of these changes on Xbox One and around 10 sec­onds on PS4. On both plat­forms, we expect to see few­er issues with geom­e­try or cos­met­ics fail­ing to load in time, and FPS drops dur­ing sky­div­ing. The Xbox One down­load will be larg­er than nor­mal in this release as a result of these opti­miza­tions. We’re work­ing to min­i­mize the impact of this type of opti­miza­tion in future releas­es. — Devel­op­er Comment
  • Reduced down­load and patch size for play­ers who just have access to Bat­tle Royale (PC only).
  • Fixed var­i­ous issues caus­ing the game to freeze up/hitch while load­ing assets, espe­cial­ly on con­sole. These assets are now pre­loaded before the game starts.
  • Opti­mized servers to reduce net­work lag when fir­ing weapons and tak­ing damage.

MOBILE

  • Audio indi­ca­tor no longer shows silenced weapons, crouched foot­steps or ally pickaxes.
  • Mul­ti­ple graph­i­cal improve­ments were made to the sky­box, veg­e­ta­tion and anti-aliasing.

  • Fixed an issue that caused input to con­tin­ue when no longer touch­ing the screen.
  • Fixed an issue where the mes­sage about jail­bro­ken devices being unsup­port­ed wasn’t being shown 
    • Attempt­ing to play using a jail­bro­ken device will result in being kicked.
  • Fixed var­i­ous inter­act­ing actions, including: 
    • Icons not show­ing prop­er­ly on low­er-end devices
    • Sup­ply Drops not being able to be opened.
    • Doors not con­sis­tent­ly open­ing and closing.
    • The Map not being able to be zoomed & panned.
    • Instances where acci­den­tal but­ton press­es would occur.

Save The World Patch Notes

  • Enabled envi­ron­men­tal dam­age for ranged weapons. 
    • Per­cent­age of dam­age done to the envi­ron­ment varies by weapon.
    • Envi­ron­men­tal dam­age scal­ing for ranged weapons should remain con­sis­tent rel­a­tive to the health of the envi­ron­ment, tak­ing into account the rar­i­ty and alter­ations on the weapon. 
      • NOTE: Envi­ron­men­tal dam­age increas­es with tier and rar­i­ty only and is not mul­ti­plied through Offense.
    • Ranged weapons can not dam­age struc­tures you or your team have built.

    • Frag­ment Ammo capac­i­ty has been dra­mat­i­cal­ly increased.
  • [Rework] Melee Weapons + Environment 
    • Melee weapons (aside from Pick­ax­es) can no longer dam­age struc­tures that you or your team have built, and have had their envi­ron­men­tal dam­age increased.
    • Envi­ron­men­tal dam­age scal­ing for on-lev­el melee weapons should now feel more con­sis­tent, rel­a­tive to the health of the environment 
      • NOTE: Envi­ron­men­tal dam­age increas­es with tier and rar­i­ty only, and is not mul­ti­plied through Offense.
    • Axes do increased dam­age against wood. Hard­ware does increased dam­age against stone.Swords, Clubs, Scythes, and Spears do not favor any mate­r­i­al type.

    • With the auto­mat­ic diag­nos­tic scan the length of time until first raid occurs has been increased to 8:30 min­utes after diag­nos­tics are com­plete to allow more time to pre­pare, used to be 6:30 minutes.
