Epic Games has rolled out a new Fortnite update 3.03 that is focused on weeding out a bunch of bugs that have been affecting the game's performance across consoles and Windows PC platforms. Let's take a look at all the changes arriving with the new Fortnite patch notes.
What is the new Fortnite update?
The latest Fortnite 3.03 update is essentially a maintenance patch which means there won't be any new items, weapons or map changes. Here's a look at the official patch notes for the new Fortnite 3.03 update:
- The queuing bug with the tournaments
- The 'Disable Pre-edit Option' in BR/Creative applying to STW
- The recent performance issues on PC (DX12 still impacted)
- Stability issues on PlayStation 5
Along with the above changelog, Epic Games has also clarified that players will observe a fall in texture quality when using Performance Mode. It further added that the main intention was to maintain a higher FPS level in the game mode while also preventing invisible constructions.
These are the only changes that were listed for the latest patch, however, there are a bunch of other prominent issues that the developers have been working on, as per Fortnite Trello page.
