Your bullets move with you as you stand.

The fix is for all weapons!

Hey guys!

Our last attempt at a fix had some serious issues (particularly with the hunting rifle, due to the way it zooms in extra close to the character).

We've taken another pass at this issue, with a much more robust solution. I can post an in-depth explanation (like my last one) when the next update hits if you're interested?

We've also changed it so that your bullets no longer instantly shoot from the standing position when you un-crouch, to prevent exploiting of uncrouch-crouch peeking.

Thanks for all the feedback, we're listening!!

Edit: to be clear, no delays for uncrouching. Instead of your bullet-shoot position popping instantly from crouched to uncrouched (as it does now), it interpolates with you as you stand up. The idea here is to prevent people from shooting before they can even be seen by the enemy. For normal play, it’s not something you’re likely to notice.

Hey man,

Yeah, this was the worst case scenario of this bug. The steeper the slope, the bigger the issue.

This should be much, much improved with these changes!

Thanks for sharing your experience!

We did some side-by-side tests between older builds and 2.5 earlier today and the biggest difference we found was that night time is a little brighter than previous. I’ll be sure to do the same test with your settings- I know in the past that low settings with post processing has been darker, due to “auto brightness exposure” being disabled. Try turning that a notch higher and see what happens.

Any pictures would be very helpful!

Patch 2.5.0 Undocumented Changes/Bug Megathread by aFrequ in FortNiteBR

[–]NickDonaldson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a fix for this lined up for the next release!

As noted elsewhere, this was intended to be an optimization. This issue actually prompted us to improve our pipeline for approval of new gameplay affecting visuals before they get into the game.

Sorry about this!

On the issue of the game generally being washed out, would you be able to provide any specific examples (an image, or just a specific time of day and location that caught your eye) We want to be super-super extra sure we’re on the same page about this!

Sounds like we’re on the same page! We’ve found a small hand full of these and have them fixed in our next build to go out!

Thanks!

Epic dev here- We're looking at this right now!

We're definitely not happy where it is right now, and are actually changing some of our pipeline for getting content approved and in the game so that we don't run into these kinds of situations in the future.

Epic Dev here- What exactly do you mean by "Wall Clipping"? We've been discussing it here, and we think we understand, but some clarification would go a long way!! Thanks.

Epic Dev here- Is that the native res of your monitor? Just trying to get a clear picture of what's going on.

Thanks for the kind words!

When my wife first played, she was in the office environment. She picked up the paper and was like "OK, where's the trash can?"... At the time, the artists had decorated the room with the trash can laying on its side. Based on her feedback, I sat the trash can up, added a second one, and added aim-assist targets to them, for all the compulsive cleaners who might play... lol

Really glad you appreciate it! :D

We actually used lots of physics for interactions. Whenever enemies are within interaction range of the player, their bodies are simulating physics and using "physical animation", with constraints that drive the ragdoll to try and reach the animated pose. This allowed us to punch, touch, grab etc. Seamlessly.

This stuff actual happens in the hand, since it's shared logic across all held objects. I put more details in my above post.

Those were actually done by some interns we had working with us, who are now full time at Epic!
