Fortnite Battle Royale

So PUBG is buggered for many on the PC, the patch yesterday has made the game unplayable for many and for many others like myself the game won't even run. The discussion forums have offered a lot of different fixes, I've tried some and none have worked for me.

The last tweet I saw was that it was an incompatibility issue with other software that may be running on the PC and that the PUBG people wanted users to close all unnecessary programs and software, or basically they want the public to do their Alpha testing and bug finding.

A lot of people can still play but are reporting that the FPS was vastly reduced, something which PUBG say the patch was supposed to improve.

Another report is saying that older CPUs may now be incompatible as well, rendering the game unplayable permanently unless those affected upgrade their PC's.

The game was working perfectly on Thursday, Friday nights patch has really screwed the game for many many players.
 
Quick trip to the Metro Centre for an Xbox methinks mate :D

The devs had no choice but to roll back the patch as it had stopped millions of players for connecting. Their anti cheat patch worked 100%, it didn't let anyone connect, if you can't connect you cant cheat, brilliant thought process the devs had there.
 
Aimbots, running or moving up to 5 times normal speeds thus allowing cheaters to get to parts of the map before anyone else to get the best loot and positions for the end game, giving players the ability to see through walls or to have pointers to show where other plays are hiding, moving etc...and to reduce the recoil on guns so you can keep sights on the target.

They will be others but those are the ones I know about.

Blimey, reminds me of all the cheats on COD years ago.
 
The EU servers aren't to bad, but the Asian servers where the majority of the Chinese play, cheating is rife.

I reported a player the other day, I was hiding in a bush, player came across a field, no way of seeing where I was and as they crested a small rise, took aim on the bush, while running and head shotted me. I watched the death cam a couple of times to make sure and there was no way they could see me.

They sound about as useful as EA Sports! :lol:
 
Ninja played on stream with Drake last night. 600k concurrent viewers - smashing the previous record of 388k. Fortnite is absolutely killing it right now.

I had a few games last night and forgot how fun the game was. It's changed a lot since I last played it but man it's fun. Need to get back into it properly.
 
My Xbox One has sat largely unused, it's gained ornamental status in my office in recent months.

I thought I'd give Fortnite a go as I liked the idea of massive battles that you don't have to sit and play for hours. I absolutely love it! I have won 3 single player battles and a few of the doubles. The big thing I struggle with is the building. Some of these guys build at such a rate I struggle to kill them. When I try and build to survive a fight I am looking at the controls, then back to the screen. I end up putting a few random shapes down but am usually ended shortly afterwards!!
 
Yeah - the building is tough and people that have been playing a while are so good at it. Would love a build-free zone. Remove the damage to existing buildings and just let people fight it out on the map - think I'd do a lot better that way.
 
I’ve started to play again as at first I couldn’t get into it, I’m actually enjoying it just wish I knew how to build!
 
Boom. First win on Fortnite - in solos. 7 kills, just one of those games where everything just clicked. Won every gun battle, got a Scar off the 2nd guy I killed and just shredded people with it. Also got 2 kills with a blue hunting rifle, man that thing packs a punch. One guy was running up a ramp to my base and one shot headshotted him, was awesome. Loving Fortnite ATM. Went back to PUBG after a few games of Fortnite earlier and it felt so trash.
 
Another 2nd place yesterday, didn't really see anyone for ages until it got down to the last 15 or so. Was more aggressive than usual and took out one on my way to the small circle, popped another crawling around near me then another hiding in a hut I stormed which got me to the last 2. The circle went smaller again but I had to move from cover, the other fella got lucky as the circle was where he had been all the time, went for the aggressive approach again but I didn't spot him, he popped out from behind a truck and took me out.
I'll get there eventually :rolleyes:
 
I’ve been playing it on my phone, I’m still rubbish.

I notice that PUBG has also been released onto mobile devices so will give that a go later.

Finally go the job done :whoo:
A duo squad game but my partner died right at the start on the military island. Got lucky and took my chances, I'm still shaking :D

Very nice! I think I get more nerves from being the last two then being the first on the tee in front of our roll up!
