While streaming on Twitch, Symfuhny remarked on how we would like viewers of competitive Fortnite streams to be able to watch the game in the normal 1920\u00d71080 resolution, even if the players were using a stretched resolution themselves. In the chat for his stream, the official Fortnite Twitch account responded to his request, simply stating; \u201cWe\u2019re working on that.\u201d From Epic\u2019s point of view, allowing stretched resolutions at LAN events can lead to some production problems. Switching back and forth between players using different screen settings can be jarring for viewers, especially in a game like Fortnite where the action can be fast paced. While it\u2019s unclear how Epic intend to fix the issue, one suggestion that has been mentioned could be to stop resolutions changing the field of view for players. If a slider was then implemented, players could then set their FOV themselves, and it may encourage people to stop using stretched resolutions. Another solution could be a dedicated spectating mode, like Counter-Strike\u2019s GOTV, that follows the players POV but uses the settings specified by the observer. There is currently no official release date for this update, however it is expected that Epic will try and push the patch out before the Fortnite Fall Skirmish begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Epic are Currently \u2018Working On\u2019 Allowing Stretched Resolutions in Competitive Fortnite Epic Games has confirmed that they are working on allowing stretched resolutions in competitive Fortnite play.
