Epic Games respond to broken footstep audio in Fortnite Epic GamesEpic Games have been made aware of continuous issues with footstep audio in Fortnite, particularly affecting PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players, and have now addressed the issue. Players have been complaining quite frequently about broken footstep audio since Fortnite Chapter 2 released, and even more so since Season 2 went live in February. The issue is a simple one, in that players sometimes just can\u2019t hear approaching enemies, and most console players will have experienced an opponent seemingly turning up out of nowhere, with little to no warning. Obviously, though not exactly a game-breaking issue, this can absolutely ruin players\u2019 enjoyment of the game, especially if they\u2019re playing well and not given the opportunity to properly defend themselves when a fight occurs. On Thursday, March 5, the issue was addressed through the FortniteStatus Twitter account, saying that they\u2019re \u201cinvestigating reports of missing footstep audio on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.\u201d They added that they\u2019ll provide an update when they have more information, which likely means that a fix to the bug should be coming sooner rather than later \u2013 and you can also keep tabs on what they\u2019re working on through Epic\u2019s community Trello board. We’re investigating reports of missing footstep audio on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. We’ll provide an update when we have more information. pic.twitter.com\/CsViGjS4PE \u2014 Fortnite Status (@FortniteStatus) March 5, 2020 The responses to the tweet were exactly what you would imagine: many people questioning why it has taken so long, and a few people joking that \u201cthere\u2019s footstep audio in the game?!\u201d The issue is definitely a significant one, and is no doubt affecting the playability of the game, so Epic will want to get to work on this soon so as not to upset fans too much. A number of the biggest streamers and content creators have already spoken out about their desire \u2013 or decision \u2013 to stop playing Fortnite so much, and Epic Games will want to make sure they don\u2019t lose too much of their vast fanbase due to menial issues such as this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
