Certain Fortnite usernames are now crashing the game Epic Games[jwplayer Puy4UiEa]Fortnite players have been running into a strange bug that causes the battle royale to freeze and glitch if they eliminate a player who uses a certain letter or number in their name. Even though Fortnite is pretty much the mack daddy of battle royales, that doesn\u2019t mean Epic Games have a perfect game. The developers have done a stellar job at plugging holes and fixing issues, but there are still some lingering problems. Players have constantly run into problems with the servers, a lot of them disagree with the current content that is in season three \u2013 be that because of the Mauraders or Sharks \u2013 and the teleporting whirlpools don\u2019t currently work. However, some players have been encountering a frustrating problem that hasn\u2019t been too big of an issue in previous seasons and actually probably needs to be seen to be believed. The problem was flagged by Reddit user hobleyyy, who noted that if you kill a player who has a symbol, letter or number in their Epic Games username, your game will freeze and bug out after the elimination. The Redditor even showed a video displaying highlights where, as they eliminated players who had a symbol in their name, the game quickly stuttered before returning back to normal a few seconds letter. As hobleyyy showed, it wasn\u2019t just a one-time issue, as it happened to them multiple times. The Fortnite player even noted that they\u2019ve run into the problem in previous seasons, but Epic hasn\u2019t fixed it just yet. Other players even testified to having the bug hamper them as well. \u201cHad that too, yesterday I was wondering, he had a name with only Chinese letters and it freezed for like 10 seconds, commented Clemibeast. Given that the problem lies with a player\u2019s username, it probably is something for Epic to investigate in order to stop it becoming a hugely widespread issue that ruins games completely. Wheter or not they will do so anytime soon, however, is unknown given that they\u2019ve got a set of problems already lined up for fixes in the coming v13.30 patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
