In Fortnite, the next update 11.20 is expected to improve graphics and prepare the game for the future. The patch should be released this week, although not today. We will show you what exactly changes.
What kind of update is this? The upcoming update 11.20 for Fortnite is expected to bring improvements to the graphics. Unfortunately, what else the update will bring for the battle royale mode is not yet known.
Epic has not yet announced exactly when the next update will be available. Usually, patches are released between Tuesday and Thursday. Today, the patch will likely not be released, but we hope it will be in the next few days.
The graphics and performance will improve on high-end PCs
On which platform will it be improved? The graphics are expected to improve on PCs with update 11.20.
How will the graphics be improved? Until now, Fortnite required graphics cards that are compatible with Microsoft DirectX 11. However, that is set to change, as players will have the option to play the PC version with Microsoft DirectX 12.
With DX12, the frame rate will be more stable if you have a high-end graphics card installed. This is because DX12 helps with CPU performance and allows the distribution of rendering processes across multiple cores.
In the future, Epic Games plans to support more features with DX12.
The Future of Fortnite is Being Prepared
Why is this graphics improvement so important? A graphics improvement is especially important for the competitive scene. In the endgame, when many opponents are left, this can lead to FPS issues.
There can be disruptions that make the game difficult and could have a negative impact on the placement of participants. With this change, those problems could be addressed, greatly improving the future of tournaments in Fortnite.
What cannot be ruled out are lag problems when too many players build structures that take longer to load on the screen.
How do you feel about this improvement? Will you take advantage of it?
