Fortnite storm bug making players lose matches set to be patched Epic GamesA new bug in Fortnite is making it pretty much impossible for console players to see in the Storm, costing them wins and causing a lot of frustration \u2013 but it shouldn\u2019t be too much longer before a fix is released. Fortnite Season 6 has received almost universal praise from players. Features like tameable animals, new locations on the map, and the long-awaited weapon crafting system, in particular, seem to have gone down very well. As with any new season update, though, there are bugs to be found. The biggest one at the moment concerns the Storm, as some console players are struggling to see anything when they\u2019re inside of it \u2013 and it\u2019s often costing them the game. Fortnite players can\u2019t see in the Storm As fans of Fortnite already know, the Storm constantly shrinks throughout a match, and getting caught in it will cause your health to slowly drain. So naturally, if that happens, the aim is to get out of it as fast as possible. A bug that arrived with the Season 6 update is making that quite difficult, as many players are now discovering that they can\u2019t see anything when they\u2019re inside the Storm, which is having a significant impact on the game. As well as not being able to see where they\u2019re going to get out of the Storm, the reduction in visibility means they can\u2019t see their opponents. Both of these issues are leading to players dying early and costing them wins. A temporary workaround is available for PC players by turning Performance Mode on, but this actually removes the Storm effect almost entirely, leaving them at a significant advantage over console players who don\u2019t have Performance Mode. A post on the Fortnite subreddit from EzBugatti99 shows a visibility comparison between Performance Mode being switched on or off. It\u2019s got almost 10k upvotes and hundreds of comments from people experiencing the same problem. \u201cThis desperately needs to be fixed. It\u2019s impossible to see in the Storm if you aren\u2019t on PC,\u201d said one player, while another explained, \u201cI got a kid down to like 15hp the other day, but we were in the Storm so we both ended up dying because we couldn\u2019t see each other.\u201d Some players used the post to argue that console crossplay shouldn\u2019t include PC, with one Reddit user writing that the bug is \u201cfurther proof that crossplay with PC benefits no one besides PC players\u201d and another adding, \u201cOh wow, Epic once again catering to PC players. I\u2019m shocked.\u201d Storm visibility issues set to be fixed While Epic had previously acknowledged that they were looking into the issue with the storm visibility, they\u2019ve now confirmed that the issue will be fixed in the game\u2019s next update. According to the developer\u2019s Trello board, the storm visibility issue has now been labeled as \u201cfixed in the next game update,\u201d with that update of course being 16.10, which is set to be the first major patch for Fortnite after its Season 6 release over a week ago. Epic has already revealed that update 16.10 will be dropping during the week of March 29, 2021, so fans won\u2019t have to wait too much longer to be able to properly see within the storm. Until then, however, they\u2019ll just have to deal with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
