Instead of always-new features, modes, and weapons, players mainly wish for bug fixes that eliminate annoying problems in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Epic plans various measures next week with update 3.5 to ensure a more stable gaming experience.
Even though Epic continually adds new elements to Fortnite: Battle Royale – players have been asking for a clear focus on the stability of the game for some time now. Better a functioning game than dozens of new features and bugs, so the opinion.
According to Epic’s own Trello board, players can at least look forward to some bug fixes next week. The currently biggest annoyance: the floating weapons that leave players completely defenseless. In addition to many other problems, this serious bug will also be fixed next week.
Note: The following list is not exhaustive. Epic currently only names the “extreme cases”. A complete overview can then be found in the patch notes for update 3.5.0.
Bug Fixes and Improvements in Patch 3.5.0 for Fortnite: Battle Royale!
Epic plans to address the following topics in the upcoming update 3.5.0 next week:
- No building possible – Players were sometimes confronted with a bug that prevented building parts from being placed, even though resources were available.
- Floating weapons – During quick weapon swaps or between build mode and inventory, it could happen that the weapon floated in the air and the player could no longer shoot. This bug will also be fixed next week.
- Random controller vibration – No, the vibration was not a secret code that blows up the world, but a random phenomenon. This bug will also be addressed with 3.5.0.
- Pop-in textures – especially smaller objects like bushes or hay bales popped in from a short distance. This caused confusion. From next week on, all objects in the world should behave consistently.
- Choppy gameplay on consoles – Over the last updates, stuttering has become widespread on consoles. Especially after landing or just before dying, the game noticeably stuttered. Epic plans at least an improvement for the upcoming update 3.5.0, but notes that this plan could still change. They seem to be on the trail of the problem – but do not know if there will be a fix by next week.
Which other bugs Epic will fix is still not known. As soon as the patch notes for update 3.5.0 are available, which is expected to be released next week from April 9th to April 13th, we will have a clearer picture.
Thursday, April 12th, is considered a hot candidate for the patch day. The servers should go offline again then.
Are you missing any bugs in the list? Or is everything included that you wish for?
