Fortnite players blast speed-reducing movement issues for feeling \u201catrocious\u201d Epic GamesFortnite players can\u2019t decide if the game\u2019s speed-reducing movement troubles constitute a bug or an unwelcomed feature. Interestingly, this isn\u2019t the first time that problems with movement speed have surfaced in the popular online game. At the start of Season 5, Epic Games significantly tweaked movement pacing to accommodate new character animations. Fortnite players were livid. In response to the widespread backlash, the studio increased movement speed late in 2023. It seems these changes weren\u2019t necessarily permanent, though. Players have encountered more instances of reduced speed, leading some to wonder if the system as a whole is bugged. Fortnite\u2019s movement problems: Feature or bug? \u201cLet me just say [the] speed-reducing feature is atrocious,\u201d wrote a user on Reddit whose post was accompanied by a clip demonstrating the issue. The Redditor added that the game forcibly slows players down for going too fast when sliding. \u201cIt feels so jittery and rough. I wish the speed-reducing feature just didn\u2019t even exist,\u201d they continued. While probably not the intention, the user\u2019s post opened a can of worms on the Fortnite subreddit. That the original poster repeatedly called Fortnite\u2019s movement issue a \u201cfeature\u201d sparked a debate, with players going back and forth about whether or not the slowed movement is purposeful. One confused Redditor asked if the slow-down issue constitutes a feature, to which someone else replied with the following: \u201cIt\u2019s not lag or a feature it\u2019s a bug and a very annoying one because it stops you from running normally the whole game unless you can get rebooted.\u201d Elsewhere, someone else shared their two cents by noting, \u201cI can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s a bug or a feature. I can\u2019t consistently do it.\u201d Others said this particular hiccup may only happen under certain circumstances and offered tips on possible solutions. \u201cIt happened to me after using one of those little jump pads. It fixed after I used another one, try also getting into a car.\u201d Another Fortnite player shared this helpful tip: \u201cThis has been a glitch for a while now, but the new speed update made it even worse. Try crouching, then uncrouching, then start running. It normally works for me but other times it doesn\u2019t.\u201d Evidently, Fortnite faithful remain in the dark about what\u2019s going on with the game\u2019s movement system. But the consensus seems pretty clear \u2013 the community wants Epic to issue a fix as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
