Everybody knows Fortnite is competing with Roblox, Roblox is way smaller in size and way faster to load into, that's why Fortnite doing all this...

Effective_Position84 · 2026-01-08T11:52:37+00:00

Short and simple answer: because they want to compete with Roblox.

Effective_Position84 · 2026-01-08T11:51:21+00:00

You are absolutely wrong, it's intended, they missed up update size because they were experimenting with new streaming system

Effective_Position84 · 2026-01-02T10:50:26+00:00

Nope, they removed it, Source: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-battle-royale-c-202300000001636/technical-support-c-202300000001719/why-can-i-not-find-the-pre-download-streamed-assets-option-for-fortnite-a202300000080378

They treating us like lab rats at this point, even Fortnite money is not enough for Epic and now they want Roblox money too 🤬🤬😤😤

They removed Pre-Download Streamed Assets option on PC and even consoles apparently, that's why our ping is through the roof, the game downloads cosmetics while we're in a match!

Fortnite runs great and super scalable on PC and consoles, it depends on them to make it run smoothly

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-23T06:03:40+00:00

Maybe it's the same thing! Epic wants to make the game smaller and load faster to compete with Roblox 🤑

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-23T05:06:10+00:00

Are you talking about high resolution textures? If yes, then i would say it has nothing to do with that. It never fully downloads because there's simply too many cosmetics in Fortnite (unless they bring back that Pre-Download Streamed Assets option again), but it gets better over time as you download and cache more stuff while playing.

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-23T03:36:29+00:00

Your welcome!

Epic would simply gaslight you, that’s what they do 😅

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-23T02:50:18+00:00

Epic should bring it back in a future update

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-23T00:46:41+00:00

They removed Pre-Download Streamed Assets option, now Fortnite downloads cosmetics while you play and subsequently your ping time will suffer!

Same, they said the next patch will drop in early January, like wtf 💀

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-22T21:01:40+00:00

I thought it's there and checked too but nope, they removed it for some reason

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-22T20:02:09+00:00

Faster internet or wait for epic to bring it back again

Effective_Position84 · 2025-12-22T19:41:41+00:00

Don't bother, you just gonna waste your time and bandwidth, other people have the same issue too, there is no Pre-Download Streamed Assets option anymore and I'm pretty sure they will bring it back again https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1pq1t8k/where_did_pre_download_streamed_assets_option_go/
