DEVICE: Redmagic Astra 12GB+256GB Version

Before the new UI update, I never had any frame drops at all, even while running at 144 FPS or 165 FPS. Ever since the UI was changed, my FPS has been dropping as low as 7 FPS just from switching weapons or modes. It’s also causing overheating, even while using a proper cooler. This never happened during the 5 months I’ve owned my Astra and only started after the UI update.

The new UI has also introduced the build bug, which still hasn’t even been properly fixed. It was marked as “Fixed in Live” on Trello and in the update notes, but the issue was still happening. After, it was changed back to “Investigating” on Trello for two days before being removed entirely.

If they don’t fix the build bug in the next update (14th May) then I doubt it will ever be fixed. They still haven’t properly optimised or resolved many of the major issues on mobile since release over two years ago. The current state of FNM is horrid, and once the mobile series is over, I genuinely think FNM will die.

Time to lock in - v40.30 brings new Rivalry Ranks, more controls for Custom match hosts, and a batch of fixes and improvements. Read on for the full rundown:

⚔️ Keep Building Your Rivalry Streak and Unlock New Rewards

In today’s game update, new rewards have become available. You’ll be able to keep your existing Rivalry win count while chasing new Rivalry status alongside it:

🟣 Rivalry Master: Win 150 Rivalries
🔵 Rivalry Grandmaster: Win 500 Rivalries
🔴 Rivalry GOAT: Win 1,000 Rivalries

Keep stacking those Rivalry W’s! New mastery umbrella styles are coming in v40.40 to unlock after you hit Rivalry Master. 

⚙️ New Admin Panel Tool for Your Custom Lobbies

We’ve implemented several new Custom Matchmaking features to give Custom lobby hosts more control over their Battle Royale sessions.

With today’s update, Custom lobby hosts can access a new Admin Panel in non-competitive BR modes (including Zero Build) - only available to the player who starts the match. While in a match, open the Sidebar > Menu > Admin Panel to adjust the following:

• Enable God Mode and become invulnerable as the admin/host
• Set the Health and Shield values for everyone
• Change the Time of Day and the speed at which it progresses (can be 0)
• Pause and unpause the Storm
• Change the Storm radius and how long it takes for the first circle to close in
• Send troublemakers back to the Lobby

The BR Dev Team

So I tried old Fortnite using project era on mobile which people recommended to me as old fortnite was better and they didn't lie , the shading was amazing so even on low graphics it doesn't look ugly plus the high quality of textures , I wish epic do the same , thanks and share you thoughts on comments

Did Epic improve Fortnite Mobile graphics recently?

Noticed some visual changes after recent updates on Android:

Better anti-aliasing options (ASR + TAA) Less jagged edges and cleaner image overall Improved indoor lighting Better skin materials and textures

Also noticed SSAO-related entries in logs before, plus new graphics-related changes.

Galaxy S24+ (Exynos). Anyone else seeing graphical upgrades or is this device specific

Every time im in a fight with real opponents the fps drops to 0 then go up to 15 to 20 amd lags like mf.

I used to have skin physics on my phone, as you can see the cape flaps around and all sorts. But today I don't seem to have it anymore, I haven't touched any settings whatsoever, is there a way to get this back?

Is anybody else’s aim assist doing this? This has happened so much times to me that it sorta feels normal now, but it’s such an annoying bug that was introduced when they added the new aim assist.

Following today’s update, the graphics quality on iPad Pro has been surprisingly improved, with the “hidden” addition of SAO environmental occlusion, which makes the game visually closer to the console version. I attach some screens of the visual rendering with the maximum settings, where it may be possible to notice these improvements.

I can throw a shockwave away! but can't drop it for vertical take off?

Is it a bug or feature in settings? I didn't find anything regarding this!

Gonna make up for it in the next round on the 15th. [PoorKandis is me, btw.]

Make it make sense
