V.2.4.0 PATCH NOTES
  By The Fortnite Team UPDATE: The release of Patch V.2.4.0 has been delayed so we can further improve stability and hammer out some remaining bugs. Once we have an updated ETA, we’ll be sure to let you know.
Hey Fortnite players, You’ve probably run into a few issues playing Fortnite this past week. We’ve since solved a lot of those issues, however, we're still working to solve a couple of building-related problems. We know this is affecting a lot of you and are working to resolve this as quickly as we can. We greatly appreciate all of your patience and understanding. As a token of our appreciation, here are some goodies! Find out more here.
On top of that, V.2.4.0 brings in bug fixes for Battle Royale and some fun new additions for Save the World. Amaze your friends with stories of past adventures around the Cozy Campfire, or try out the new Expedition types!

Minigun Introducing the Minigun! Control the battlefield with sheer firepower with this new addition to Battle Royale.   Cozy Campfire Heal yourself and allies with the all-new Cozy Campfire addition to Save the World. Stay warm and healthy as you share stories with your friends around it. GENERAL
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where some users would get unnecessarily long queue times while logging into the game. Fixed an issue where some users would have to wait in line additional time after their queue timer completed. BATTLE ROYALE
WEAPONS
MiniGun Found in Chests and Supply drops Fires almost as quickly as SMG Uses Light ammo Suppressed Pistol Reduced drop chances of Epic variant by 20%. Reduced drop chances of Legendary variant by 33%. GAMEPLAY
Added “Controller Auto Run” option. This enables/disables the auto run feature on controllers. Auto run, which was introduced in v2.3.0, is enabled by double clicking the left thumb stick on controllers. Bug Fixes Fixed a few landscape areas that were barely below floor height before. This sometimes caused the majority of a structure to appear underground. Players can now shoot through the Soccer goal. GENERAL
Added “3D Resolution” slider to Video options on PC and Mac. This new preference allows you to set the resolution of the 3D world, without affecting the user interface. The range goes between 640x360 and your selected Display Resolution. Using a lower 3D Resolution may greatly improve frame rate. When selecting an overall Quality option, an appropriate 3D Resolution will be chosen automatically. Bug Fixes Fixed a client crash that would get triggered by an audio cue. Fixed an issue preventing players from unmuting other players in the lobby screen. Fixed an issue causing an incorrect character model to display on the lobby screen. Fixed an issue causing entire walls to highlight when looking at a door. PERFORMANCE
Bug Fixes Fixed client hitching which could occur when the Chug Jug was found in game. Made engine performance improvements to how we process collision overlap events. Reduced network bandwidth usage when players are walking, and when they are standing still UI
Spectating
Added spectator count UI to the HUD.  This appears in game as a small eye in the lower left corner when there are active spectators.  Better off not knowing?  There is also an option to disable the feature under game options labeled “Show Spectator Count”.
Bug Fixes Removed an unnecessary button prompt on the left side of the news widget. Added a border highlight around item shop tiles when selecting them on consoles. Fixed an issue allowing the old trap picker radial menu to open. This radial menu is no longer used for selecting traps. Fixed an issue causing weapon icons to not display properly on the hotbar in some cases. Fixed a few spots on the map and minimap that were rendered as black spots. Fixed the floor under the hero not showing up when previewing emotes in the locker or item shop Fixed emotes being offset if they were viewed in succession. ART/ANIMATION
Optimized the colored rarity effect on weapons and items to improve overall performance. Colors may look slightly different. Bug Fixes Corrected the drinking speed animation for the 15-second Chug Jug item. AUDIO
Bug Fixes Improved spatialization of loot chest audio by increasing the audio volume if you’re aiming at them. Removed the static audio from living room televisions. Fixed a directional audio issue when another player switches to a shotgun. Removed footstep audio from dance emotes. WORLD
Bug Fixes Fixed the missing collision on a window asset in Tilted Towers. Fixed the landscape appearing jagged at medium-range distances. Fixed flickering artifacts that are sometimes seen on the rivers while riding the Battle Bus. Fixed an issue causing two items to spawn in the same location near Lonely Lodge. Fixed some seams in the terrain south of Anarchy Acres. Disabled the collision on the vines in Moisty Mire. FIXED ISSUES
Incorrect building piece can be highlighted when quickly entering build mode and swapping building pieces Mac clients are unable to see sniper or scoped AR scope reticle Using Cozy Campfire in the pre-game lobby appears to give full shields above player health bar after exiting bus In-game team player names aren't appearing while spectating PS4 Resolution is significantly lower than it has been in the past. KNOWN ISSUES
Chests occasionally have no loot in them Sometimes the first weapon found cannot be equipped You cannot open the pause menu if you go into the DBNO state while in build mode.

Fortnite have posted a tweet saying the update will be delayed they are not sure how long yet but I will keep you up to date 

Yes they will be drop a patch later today to add it in for good 

Sweet nice one. I’m gna do a separate in depth post about that system and why it works so well when I get back 

YES!

Just awesome!!! I was so confused as to what the hell was going on as I was on the kill cam screen! 😂😂
 
Also loving the fact that my Torb is on the thumbnail. Torb  FTW!! 😁😁

On the plus side our little tiff has about rounded off your posting quota for this year 

Be nice gents
 

Lolz. Mike & Chris.

Like the idea you're trying their Mike. Few tweaks needed to my name as I main D.Va just abobe Reinhardt, then Tracer.

Re: last night.

I listened for the majority of the night rather than playing. I noticed a few things as I'm sure others did.

Putting it bluntly mid-way through some already tilted. But equally for all of us to play well as a team it needs 5/6 playing extremely well. If 1/2 of us just feel abit off (it is okay btw as we're not pros [emoji12] well, stretch is!) we can easily lose. We are in that middle 2500 upwards ground that consistency is key.


Also, I think people just need to call out where enemies are more often. Just short, concise and clear callouts. Worth a try.

Posted this in another thread but something like the below might help:
 

Good to know they were working all along. [emoji52]

Link to the end of a the winning round of a 3v3. She was flying in to ULT me off the point
 
 

It really the rate of fire that as you can fire as fast as you can hit the trigger so that's what makes it op 

Okay. I've added a new group to trial this working and we'll see how the next few months go and report back.

Got feck all too! Although I have to say, I'm not totally mad on any of the skins this time around. Maybe the Ana one though would be nice

Got Winston's Yeti skin. Whilst they pretty much mean fuck all, credit to Blizzard for doing it. 5 free boxes is a piss easy to giveaway and wouldn't hurt their business model.
 
More should follow suit as loot boxes seem to be here to stay.
