I’ve got a decent gaming rig with 32GB of RAM, a 4070 Ti Super, and a 7800X3D. Normally, I run Fortnite on max settings at around 80 to 100 FPS, especially last season. But after the latest update, I’ve noticed a significant lag, making the game almost unplayable. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there a fix, or is this just because the new season just launched?

You might be experiencing shader compilation issues. It takes a while and puts a heavy load on your CPU until it finishes. Just spend some time exploring the map, it should clear up eventually!
It’s pretty common for new seasons to be a bit rough. I remember last season it took a few games to smooth out, but this time around it feels jankier than ever, with a lot of rubber banding and lower FPS, even on the lowest settings. Just this morning, I had no issues playing the last season!
Yeah, I’ve noticed those massive new structures like the demon castle are really affecting my FPS too!
Definitely feelin’ the lag! I even tried lowering my settings, but it didn’t help. Funny enough, I gained like 300k XP in my first match but still ended up at level 1. What gives?!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a shot!
