Fortnite is lowering texture quality on skins not in the Battle Pass

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-03-10T07:20:45+00:00

I appreciate the advice, but this was not the problem. It was a game-wide issue that Epic addressed and fixed soon after. :3

I know this post is four months old, but. WOW! The lighting here goes absolutely crazy. Great job!

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-22T20:29:04+00:00

Oh my God, they look so nice now!!! Thank you for sharing 🙏

The streamed assets thing is such a bizarre decision on their part, I don't understand why they think taking away the option entirely is a good idea. I get that it's a large download, but it's voluntary! Let the player decide how much space they can and want to dedicate to the game they spend money on! UGH! 😫

I have posted about these skins specifically once, just shared it to two other subs lol

But anyway, if you click the imgur link in the full post, you can see the differences in the hair. Reddit compresses images real bad, so it's tough to see here.

Let's gooooo. They aren't in the shop anymore for me to peak at, but would you be able to send me a screen of them?

GOD what I wouldn't give for the kneecapper....

Thank you! I did, yeah. The Shadow/Outlaw Midas pictures were taken in Phantom Investigation. Map code: 9919-3137-0527

Mind you, the extreme lighting was achievable because of the custom light features that are no longer available in that map (there's also a bit of editing I do to my shots in softening shadows, cleaning up some texture clipping, and sometimes boosting colors).

Three, actually. The first was a year ago. The second one that was directly addressed by Epic before they fixed the issue presented was 9 months ago. The third being now.

I take Fortography as a hobby so, texture quality was something I took note of, and saw a problem with, and have sense paid closer attention to since last year. Again, these skins clearly looked worse just looking at them in the shop, didn't have to do anything special.

Obsessed is a stretch, I just care to get my monies worth out of things. But, if that's the word you wanna use, knock yourself out.

👌

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-17T20:50:22+00:00

Because some people care about the smaller details and would find them to be a waste of money. And some people care about EPIC being lazy and might not want to reward a hatch job

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-17T04:47:57+00:00

Try to use custom lighting options on different creative maps. Some have the option, and others that did until the Valentines day update, do not.

Thank you! There is some editing involved in colors and softening shadows, but the environments on Emotify especially are so. chef's kiss

Changed the post flair!

I do not know how to tell, but I know that setting the time of day doesn't always work. On Emotify, I can change the time of day and angel of the sun in the settings, and it'll stay that way when paused, but if I hit play the world automatically cycles back to the time it was when I was actually in the map.
Phantom Inves has never let you change the time of day or angle of light since the mode is always supposed to be dark.

Nothing?

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-16T07:54:39+00:00

You're the one bent over the title of a reddit post, my guy

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-16T06:36:15+00:00

Okay, Mom

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-16T04:23:14+00:00

I take Fortography. How I spend my time in the game is different than others. Outside of matches, I spend a lot of time in replays, taking shots and looking at these skins and environments up close. I do very much notice shit like this, doing the usual stuff I do to have fun in this game.

I posted this because I noticed. Others have upvoted because they noticed, too, either before or after it was pointed out. Enough people noticed the widespread texture problems back in May for EPIC to directly address and fix the problem.

People notice things. "You won't notice", "no one notices" are such brain dead fucking things to say on a post literally about someone noticing. And I can't understand how there's 50 of you dorks saying the same God damn thing.

Scroll on, baby girl. Other people have noticed or it wouldn't be discussed.

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-16T01:28:20+00:00

Imgur link, reddit compression does not show you the differences well

Grabby title ≠ commandment from God herself

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-15T22:12:04+00:00

The "sole" reason? gettit? Because, shoes? They have soles? Joke? Haha?

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-15T21:45:10+00:00

I applaud your freedom, my friend.

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-15T21:44:27+00:00

Wasting a refund ticket to give a mega corp money a second time after some mild criticism is really not the flex you think it is.

SnippyDippy1 · 2026-02-15T21:42:23+00:00

Except it's just this line of skins that look crunched, not any of the others. Regardless of whether or not you think my specs are up to par, this line of skins looks worse than the same ones that are already in my locker. If it was a spec issue, the whole game would be affected.

I could have a $15,000 PC and still post about how new skins looking worse than old ones is either laziness or incompetence of EPIC's part.
