Fortnite Battle Royale

I don't think I've ever been insta-killed..I tend to jump late and find a fairly quiet spot to land. You can always get hold of some kind of weapon before encountering another player.
 
Anyone have an issue when playing the game your CPU fans go mental?

I recently installed an Asus Strix GTX 1080ti and when playing the game my CPU fan goes mental, seemingly 100% although CAM reports it as only a few hundred RPM, the CPU temp never exceeds 40-50 degrees as i have it on water and in a very clean case..

Any advice?
 
Finally got cross play working with my nephew on PS4. Will be playing this a lot more now :)

Is it worth buying the Battle Pass or the Standard Edition game?

PS4/PC crossplay?

I haven't done it myself, but I do know of people engaging in PS4/PC crossplay.

PS4 players should download the Epic launcher on a PC, create an account/login with their existing account, and then add the PC player or accept a PC player's friend invite. After that, you should be able to invite each other in to a party inside Fortnite. I've heard it only works if PS4 players invite PC players to their party, and I've also heard the opposite... I certainly wouldn't want to be a PS4 player in a mainly PC player game!

Thats exactly how it works :) Thing is if you launched the game on PS4 and skipped making an Epic Account then you have to do this:

1. Go to the Epic Games website and in the top right silhouette select Playstation
2. Create an Epic games account using your PSN name (very important)
3. Once logged in click on Accounts and unlink your PS4 account
4. Logout of Epic Games and create a new Epic Games account using a new "username"
5. Log into this new account and link your PS4 account to it

A hefty update dropped today, with lots of updates to the map including a built up town area. It's worth checking out if you've been away for a bit!

Old Map:

New Map:

The main changes are the additions to the east side, as well as what they describe as "Biomes" which will give the main areas a more distinctive look.

Don't understand why they decided to make the game more darker, its like they are trying to make it less kiddy
 
Servers just came back online after another update. Lots of bugs fixed (probably lots of new ones created too!), but the big addition this time is the minigun.... should be interesting!

    • This new preference allows you to set the resolution of the 3D world, without affecting the user interface.

Hit register is now so much better in the new mode - Shooting Test 1. Really enjoying it. A white AR is now a legit threat. Sniper Shootout was great fun too.

I think they got the minigun damage and scatter just right. Obviously not realistic damage but that gives you time to get off a snipe, maybe two, before you get riddled.

Feels like the building bugs with controller have been mostly sorted too, now.
 
I'm mostly enjoying the game. It's free, which is great. I don't feel like I'll buy pubg until I get paid, so this is great until then. I do honestly keep getting my arse kicked when I do shoot people, but generally when I start I go to what I think will be a location with no one, and then collect my weapons etc before making my way in. Normally I end up in the top 10 with a couple of kills, but that's really it.

I just got to use the new crossbow, which is great!

While I will congratulate you on your first win regardless, I wouldn't be too proud of getting one with only 3 kills :p

:ed: Safe to assume you prefer the different shooting model?
