Epic Games Releases New Fortnite Update to Improve Game Stability
Today, developer Epic Games released a new update for Fortnite, just one day after the v8.00 update and season eight release. This latest update, known as v2.06, is primarily focused on improving the game’s stability and fixing some issues.
This morning, Epic Games posted on Twitter about stability issues and an “auto-run issue,” stating that a new game update has been released to address these problems without the need for server downtime. As mentioned in their tweet, the update will be progressively available on all platforms.
Shortly after, Epic Games mentioned that they were investigating an issue that caused the pickaxe damage to be extremely low or set to zero for some players in certain matches. Additionally, a third tweet announced the temporary removal of Xbox One’s text chat to improve game stability.
It is unclear which of these actions are included in today’s update, or if they are specific to certain platforms. However, players should not be concerned, as there are no patch notes or mentions of gameplay changes that could affect the Fortnite experience. Regardless of the specific changes, the update is likely aimed at improving the game’s stability and performance following yesterday’s major season update.
