  • rfloufi E.A Respunch not partner (@rfloufi) reported

    @SionTimmy1 @alphaINTEL At this state it's not a devs problems for bugs it's the core game the old broken Apex 1.0. The only solution to get less bugs and real new options or features is to do like Activision is doing with warzone 2, blizzard overwatch 2 or Epic Fortnite 2 ...

  • LBomgos LongBomgos on the road to starfield (@LBomgos) reported

    @FavynTube Halos issue is an identity crisis and the expectations it has to be as big as cod and fortnite and apex. If 343 didn’t have to battle for that pie wed be getting better games

  • Tatoretot Tat (@Tatoretot) reported

    @MustardPlays I just want one to fix all the bugs, a few of the Devices are extremely broken, some props can’t even be placed, replay mode being unusable in creative and so much more I guess this is what it’s like to be a Fortnite creator, how the do y’all put up with this?

  • KingaX5King Kinga (@KingaX5King) reported

    @FortniteGame After going on livechat to hear why I got banned I just got hit with essentially a copy paste of the internet issues, ip whatever, lag, and vpn usage. I was going to ask a question but the person ended the conversation. I did not receive the reason why I got banned.

  • PJDParker A-J (@PJDParker) reported

    @Watsonian25 @GhostShip_Games @JoinDeepRock It's the PS5 itself. Mine has shut down 3 times with Fortnite. I see people having it happen with Avengers and Elden Ring as well. Probably a firmware issue

  • CESQ__ C (@CESQ__) reported

    @FortniteGame fix your ******* glitches got me moving in reverse while not being able to access anything.

  • BigPapaFortnite THArreNOS (@BigPapaFortnite) reported

    Losing a crown in a fight to a better player I can live with, losing a crown because the game won’t stop freakin lagging is bullcrap. I have the Xbox series S dark skully bundle and freakin fios.. there is no way at all for the this game to lag on my end. @FortniteGame

  • teenysanguini blue (@teenysanguini) reported

  • formulatoast37 FORMULATOAST37 (@formulatoast37) reported

    Love how impostors is bow a pay to win gamemode thanks to a bug, @FortniteGame, fix it ASAP because people can just leave the voting room making people unable to vote for them. To my knowledge you have to have the crew pqck for this glitch making it pay to win.

  • Fortnitefennix flare the husky (@Fortnitefennix) reported

    Ok so i was playing some Fortnite imposter and every round I play we lost because there is a glitch where you can’t vote people out then you’re playing with toxic players

  • DigitalAdel Adel (@DigitalAdel) reported

    @EpicGames I just had an 11, kill game un duos. 20+ overall as a team and I can't get the replay!😔 Please fix this stuff. Smh. #Fortnite

  • PJDParker A-J (@PJDParker) reported

    @AskPlayStation My PS5 has shut down 3 times in the last week while playing Fortnite. I'm seeing this widespread with other games on forums. Is this a firmware issue cause I'm hesitant to even turn it on if so.

  • cdreimer C.D. Reimer (@cdreimer) reported

    Remember, kids. If you don't know where the last guy is in #FortNite, you're in trouble. I won my last solo game by hiding in bush at bottom of hill and taking out sniper on top of hill. When he aimed at the bush, I pulled the trigger on my own sniper rifle.

  • atomicworm74 Atmoicworm74 (@atomicworm74) reported

    @Viceroy_12 @combatcurious Took destiny 1 and destiny 2 forsaken to get where destiny is now, live service content will always be a slog even at a devs best (unless you got that cod and fortnite crunch power)

  • LBomgos LongBomgos on the road to starfield (@LBomgos) reported

    @Ethanzilla1984 Mario has no baggage that makes it hostile to newcomers. If anything Mario’s seen even more dumbing down over the years. The old games were brutal. Halos issue is trying to compete with cod and fortnite and Apex. Because that’s where the money is for fps games

  • _honeytt (@_honeytt) reported

    @FortniteGame hey can y’all fix my sound please

  • ultratayyy tay bae (@ultratayyy) reported
