Already several posts have been made concerning the fact that since the Season 5 patch console has had terrible preformance issues. However, none of them have gained any serious traction or discussion, so I thought I would make a detailed post about several bugs that have been happening since the Season 5 patch, please add any that you think I may have missed in the comments and help me gain some attention to these bugs. I love that Epic keeps adding new things to the game, like Paradise Palms and that it can't be easy debugging and testing when making such major changes to the game. But these issues have been going on for long enough that I would have thought they would have been fixed by now, so I believe this post is justified. Just a warning I play on Xbox so there may be some PS4 specific issues I'm not aware of.
- Buildings not rendering in time.
This is by far the biggest issue, and was the main reason for creating this post. This was an issue when Tilted was first added to the game, it often took 10-20 seconds after landing before the building would render and you could enter it. Ever since this new patch it now happens EVERYWHERE. It use to be that you could just avoid Tilted and go somewhere else but now it happens at every city. Sometimes they render instantly, sometimes it's only a second or two after you land and sometimes I'll be standing in front of a house in retail for 30 seconds before it renders properly. I have tried uninstalling fortnite, as well as deleting my cache and nothing so far has helped. It happens to the majority of my group although some on the newest version of the Xbox says it is not a problem for them. This bug is the worst one by far, and is actually ruining the game for me ATM. I absolutely will not do the solo showdowns if there is a 90% my building just won't load for me, leaving me without a gun.
- Enemies being invisible.
This is a new one for me since this patch. Enemies can now be invisible, except for the gun/pickaxe. I'll admit the first time I got killed by a floating pump was pretty funny, all my friends got a kick out of the clip. The tenth time? Eh, by then I was over it. You can still see the gun, and hear the footsteps but the player model is invisible. Also, sometimes rather than being invisible they are just translucent. I can see like a white outline of their skin but it's almost like trying to track a ghost in fights.
- Loot being invisible.
The first time I opened a chest and all that dropped was ammo and bandages I was really confused. But then I kept scanning right in front of the chest and realized there was an invisible hunting rifle. When your crosshair was over it the item name showed up, and you could still pick it up so if you are being observant this is not to big of an issue since most people know every chest drops 4 items. But oh wait, just yesterday I found out that this can happen with regular floor loot. My friends who was spectating me while dead saw a chug jug that didn't appear on my screen and kept asking me why i wasnt using it. Another very annoying glitch that has popped up recently.
- Game freezes when seeing other players (and often just at random).
Anyone who watches Nickmercs is aware of this one. He said the PC guys referred to it as screen tearing but I'm not sure if that's correct. It has been in the game since the beginning but is now worst than ever. It seems to happen mostly when an opponent is right in your face, usually shotgun range. The screen will freeze for half a second, sometimes longer. This is perfect that it happens when an enemy is right in front you. Nothing better than lining up the pump headshot, having your screen freeze and then 2 seconds later hearing beedlebeedle. This also happens randomly, especially in major cities but I definitely notice it the most in fights.
There are other issues I could bring up like how awfully laggy 50 vs 50 is, why are players still allowed to use a XIM or even keyboard on console in general, player desync happens a hundred times more often than on PC and my Ping is 90ms even though I have great internet and run a wired connection but this post was more for the issues that have popped up since the last patch. If I missed any you would like to add please let me know in the comments. I know there are posts asking about some of these glitches already but none that are very detailed or have garnered any attention. Also, I'm typing this out on a phone so sorry for any formatting issues.
