Is Anyone Else Experiencing Lag with the New Fortnite Update?

-

Hey folks! I’m hoping to get some help here. Since the latest Fortnite update, my game has been lagging a ton, and it’s been super frustrating. My friends mentioned they’ve had some lags and rubber banding too, but not as badly or as frequently as I have. I’ve already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and my graphics card is up to date. I’m not super knowledgeable about PC specs, so I’m really looking for any advice on what else I can do to fix this lag issue. I really want to get back to playing normally! Any tips would be a lifesaver, thanks!

I’m also experiencing lag! Not sure why it’s hit so hard after the update. It was totally fine before. It’s definitely a bummer!

Sounds like a bug. You might want to report it to Epic Games. Make sure you provide them with details like what platform you’re on, what exactly happened, and even some video or screenshots if you can. They might reach out for more info.

Have you checked your PC specs yet? Also, testing your internet connection could help. Sometimes, network issues can cause lag, even if you have a good speed.

I feel you on this! I notice lag spikes even with 0 ping. It’s wild. I’ve checked my connection, and everything seems fine, but the issues keep coming up.

I totally understand! I checked my internet speed as well, and it seemed okay, but I guess it’s affecting everyone I play with too. So weird!

Yeah, I’m having the same issues on PC since the update. It was running smoothly before, but now I’m facing all sorts of lag spikes and glitches. It’s really annoying, right?
