  • roblox_2021 Crumblyjumbly (@roblox_2021) reported

    @itsKevinWolf @DraconicZarian @greenlegocats I suppose that's probably the issue, Roblox want's to have like Fortnite avatars but since there style is plastic and toy like it just doesn't fit well.

  • AbsolutelyLame L A M E N T @Open Comms (@AbsolutelyLame) reported

    @ZimuWren @Vixxann_ clearly it was a hoax constructed by the government to distract us from the true issue of this that i play fortnite

  • DebShez Debbie McDebface (@DebShez) reported

    @Solice @MarkRein I am writing to you both because I have spent three hours being passed from Epic Games to Xbox and back again in an attempt to solve a problem with Fortnite. I have asked both companies how to complain and neither has given me an easy way of doing it.

    @FortniteGame Hi, the refund for free is not working it says unable to refund, and it is weird please fix this.

  • FortniteHack15 Fortnite V-Bucks Generator (@FortniteHack15) reported

    Why did the gamer with the potato PC stop playing Fortnite? Because his game stopped responding every time he reached the Crash site.

  • nikki_metzler Nikki Metzler (@nikki_metzler) reported

  • AgpAdorabad 👑 King Of The Based 👑 (@AgpAdorabad) reported

    @EthanCianfarani @PlayAvengers Their excuse is adding long hair causes performance issues, but they don't need to make every strand of hair it's individual thing, do it like Fortnite or Future Revolution, problem solved.

  • Criyy4 Criyy (@Criyy4) reported

    @PonzaLT I am also having a problem especially when I open another page and return to fortnite it freezes me for 10 sec or more and then I press the controller keys and it resolves but it is a hateful thing @FortniteGame @FortniteStatus fix pls

  • BaraArchery Adrian | B-L-M (@BaraArchery) reported

    @RealMeKnows @__TB_____ @voretecks the problem is also that League, Valorant, Apex,Fortnite, etc all have consistently high viewerships AND high player numbers,but then OW struggles to keep even 10-20k viewers now. viewership might not matter for most games, but it definitely does for PvP games

  • MyCanAdventures MyCanadianAdventures (@MyCanAdventures) reported

    @FortniteGame What kind of crossover skins, emotes, pickaxes could you come up with for the Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power show on Amazon this September? A Sauron skin would be awesome if that whole “rights” thing isn’t a problem. Just asking. #RingsOfPower #LOTR #Fortnite

  • Enty87371942 sniper mask (@Enty87371942) reported

    @khaledalzoabi @FortniteGame YOU CANT THERE IS AN ERROR MASSAGE WHEN I GO TO RE FUND IT

  • 0u8up2 𝓢𝓲𝓻 𝓓𝓪𝓿𝓮 🧐🎩 (@0u8up2) reported

    @FortniteGame 1) Fix the matchmaking 2) Get rid of those dumb tanks 3) Scale back on epic and legendary weapons. 4) scale back on sniper rifles / launchers

  • SlayerRellik Name Cannot Be Blank (@SlayerRellik) reported

    @xLilscrappy No one plays Fortnite. Idk what a splash crash big bash is.

  • MuckyWookie JabbaWillSeeYouNow (@MuckyWookie) reported

    @FortniteGame I’d love to, but for some reason I can’t log in. It keeps saying unexpected error :/

  • DylanTGFN DylanTG (@DylanTGFN) reported

    Good thing is I can actually do everything in fortnite I just have extra steps to get through to get to the hub? My only guess is Epic pushed a fix for the bug, but somehow left out creative in the fix. I actually struggle so much finding any form of logic or explanation for this

  • FlorianDK14 FloW (@FlorianDK14) reported

    @FortniteGame Water physic gone on series x no more ripple effect fix that !

  • Redemption1895 Leona Evelyn Margaret Marston (@Redemption1895) reported

    @FortniteGame I think you should fix in game voice chat or party chat in game for any age for friends only. My child just wants to speak to her friends. Even going onto parental controls doesn’t work.
