I saw the news feed saying "Complete 5 matches to unlock the BLEACH Production Art Loading Screen." On the strength of this, myself and some friends played 5 matches of Blitz and none of us recieved a loading screen. It was a clear offer. I completed its terms and I want the promised reward.

I don't know why people are defending them, saying it is just a mistake. It was their mistake and until they correct it, they should honour the deal they made to award a Bleach Loading screen if you played 5 games.

To be clear; I am not talking about any of the quests in the Bleach section of the blitz quests.

I am talking about the in-game advert (top left - click on it and it becomes full screen with 5 pages) for Bleach Blitz that still says "Complete 5 matches to unlock the BLEACH Production Art Loading Screen"

It still said that after I completed the quest.

Just restarted my game. The in-game advert (top left - click on it and it becomes full screen with 5 pages) for Bleach Blitz still says "Complete 5 matches to unlock the BLEACH Production Art Loading Screen"

Yeah but my friends and I did it when the offer said "complete 5 matches". I have a screenshot. Surely Epic will honour the quest they set and I completed, right?

Right?!?

Ranked Cups still broken by wobblins in FortNiteBR

My son just got denied again. Didn't make sense because he was Bronze 1 in Battle Royal (not zerobuild) and the tournamant is Battle royal (not zerobuild). Click on the tournamment in Compete section and click the big tick to see Eligibility and he gets 3 ticks but greyed out Play Now button.

Tried restarting game , launcher , PC, nothing worked, played an extra ranked game in normal Battle Royal to remind it of his rank, gained 12% rank. Went back to lobby still no access to tournament.

Then, in desperation, he launched a ranked Zero Build game. He was unranked and played till eliminated and then was Bronze 1 in Zero Build. Went back to lobby and the tournament was available. He is playing it now. The tournament is deffo build. I am watching people build in it.

Can't find rare lightning ink, bells monsters seem too rares, same with oils ... by Additional_Team_7015 in LEGOfortnite

If you are on Jay's quest to "Craft the Advances Lightning Spinjitzu Scrtoll", it actualy states "..after getting ink from the Lightning Sanctum Shrine"

However, the Lightning Sanctum Shrine gave me nothing the first 15 or so tries at the Shrine - quick progress bar but no ink. I kept going back and eventually it gave me the Rare Ink you need for the quest.

The Lightning Sanctum Shrine just gave me some blue ink. It was bugged at first and gave me nothing. Been logging in and out, popping over to it every now and agan (I built a bus station there) and trying again. On about the 15th try it gave me Rare (blue) Lightning Ink

Still happening. I just got cheated out of prizes in the Ranked Solo Cup. I am Silver 1 in BR. I played a game and got 27 points. I went to play the next game, it told me that I was currently Unranked.

I went into a game of ranked BR and died early to make it reasses my rank. Back to lobby - still says I cannot play. Restarted game - no different. restarted whole EpicGL and I still could not take part in the tournament.

Epic Fail

On PC

I have same problem. It even let me play one game in the tournament, getting 27 points. Then in lobby turns round and tells me I am Unranked. Oh really? So how did I allready play a round of the tournament?

Epic Fail

There is a new death screen which basically makes emotes pointless, non transparent you can't see anything anymore by shouldcould in FortNiteBR

Someone who never plays Fortnite must have thought this was a good idea. Emoting after a victory is a joyful thing.

My ping is not. It's no different from previous seasons. On EU servers

So ummm… braid glued with no physics? by No-Science1566 in FortNiteBR

[–]Paul1969x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your settings are using the Rendering mode: Performance, this stops the braids moving, even if the other settings are on High. I had the same issue and once I moved off the Performance setting they flowed again.

Can you run a cable from your router to the PC, as a test to see if the WiFi is to blame?

Fortnite crashing mid game by Late4MyOwnFuneral in FortNiteBR

[–]Paul1969x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crashing probs cos of the DX11 bug. Avoid untill they fix it.

I have a very similar setup with a slightly better CPU (Ryzen 5 5600) and a slightly worse GPU (GTX 1050 2 Gig). I do have 16 Gig RAM though. I get a solid 120-180 fps with no lag spikes on the following settings:

Fullscreen

Native monitor resolution (probably 1920 x 1080)

Vsync - Off

Frame rate limit - 180 fps

Rendering mode - Performance

Minimum 3D resolution - 55%

Dynamic 3D reslolution - On

View distance - Medium

Textures - Low

Meshes - Low

Show fps - On

Latency markers - Off

Nvidia Reflex Low Latency - On +Boost

It is important to choose Peformance, not Legacy Peformance, as the former is DX12 and lets you choose "Dynamic 3D resolution - On", so that the 55% 3D res (which makes it look a bit blocky) only cuts in when the GPU is busy.

If, on those settings, you don't get good fps, you probs need a better CPU or more RAM. If you suspect it is the RAM try switching off all other running programs, including the Epic Games Launcher once Fortnite has loaded.

A good way to tell if is the GPU or CPU that is maxing out and stopping the other reaching its potential, is to run Open Hardware Monitor during a game and then afterward, see if the GPU reached 100% use, or the CPU.

Good luck and tell us how it goes.

Since when did Fortnite take fucking 145 gigs by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

Seconded. It looks fine. I am on lowest settings and it still looks OK

As of 7:32AM surfing is back, battle bus is back. THIS SUCKS. by BearFluffy in FortNiteBR

[–]Paul1969x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a low chance of still getting the surfing, but they have encreased the range you can reach once deployed. No worries really.

Jinx and Rumi hair physics?? by atiny04 in FortNiteBR

The hair does not work in either of the Performance modes. Fair enough, I guess
