These are common bugs I've seen reported on reddit. Haven't had them myself so I dunno if there's a fix. I keep getting a bug where the prompt to pick up items will disappear until I swap my equipped weapon and my friend had one where it stopped letting him mantle for the rest of the match.
It only shows up and works when you have the Battle Royale mode game type selected on the main menu. Any other mode like Save the World or even community made modes, will cause those options to disappear.
SVOGI probably was cut due to consoles. Xbone's GPU wasn't even good in 2013. PS5/SX are so much better.
There is a mode without the building crap now. Speaking of building crap though, that would be an interesting way to test the capabilites of Lumen as well.
Yeah water is a a bit weird in the game. I want to look at that some more. Yesterday just walking near a body of water I randomly had very obvious SSR artifacts for a brief while going on despite everything being maxed out + HW RT. There was clearly the outline of my characters pickaxe visible in the reflections. Water rendering is an obvious field where I think they could improve UE5 some more. I think in comparison with the whole lighting system and Nanite it falls behind a bit.
I don't play Fortnite much, but when I do, it is zero build. Much better than the build mode
Yeah Lumen is the real deal, but I had hoped Nanite would eliminate all LOD pop-in. I hope Epic can improve thus further or that there is some other explanation for this.What ever it is it looks just like pop in and is just as distracting.
Analista just dropped their PS console comparison and wow at the difference between PS4 and PS5 in its 60Hz mode.
Fortnite Chapter 4 | PS4 - PS4 Pro - PS5 | Graphics Comparison | A Real NextGen Update
PS4: Dynamic 1080p/60fps with TAAUPS4 Pro: Dynamic 1296p/60fps with TAAUPS5:- 60Hz Mode: Dynamic 2160p/60fps with TSR + Lumen + Nanite- 120Hz Mode: Dynamic 1...
In this case it is more a tech demo and eye candy than anything else. You will need to wait for games built from the ground up to use these techniques for gameplay purposes.
Landscapes should be nanite ad well now. I think the epic dev on b3d said there's the hlod system still kicking in with nanite after some distance to reduce draw calls
That's fair, waiting for games built with this engine in mind will hopefully show that developers invest more in gameplay than visuals.
If it's a long-term improvement, I don't see the need for it yet since you're asking people to lower things like 120fps. That's one of the things I find more important than this upgrade, but again, that's me and how out of touch I apparently am. I'd rather push this update after everyone can make use of it if ever.
That 60hz mode is a staggering upgrade holy crap.Analista just dropped their PS console comparison and wow at the difference between PS4 and PS5 in its 60Hz mode.

This update did introduce new gameplay mechanics and a whole new map, you just came into a thread focusing on the technical changes, what did you expect?
Though many won't admit it for some reason, visuals are very important to a lot of gamers. Not as important as gameplay of course. However, both can be improved without detriment to the other. It isn't either/or. That's one of the best things about gaming being such a technology-linked hobby. The development of visuals is certainly one of the things that I enjoy.
My bad then, I thought that this is the update with how everywhere I see Fortnite mentioned it's all about the new visuals. I should have read better.
I didn't really have a point, just that I don't get all the focus and excitement on a visual update. I wasn't even aware this is only part of the update.
I didn't know there was more to this update, my bad.
