Fortnite Download Version 1.000.168 Released
[summaraize]
Epic Games has released a new Fortnite update this February 28, and this should show up as download version 1.000.168 for players. This is an unannounced patch, and given that we just got the Chapter 6 Season 2 patch last weel, don’t expect new content from this outside of fixes.
Read on for what’s being fixed and the known issues being looked at by the developers.
Fortnite Gets New Update on Feb. 28, 2025 as Version 1.000.168
Update: The issues fixed today per Epic Games include:
- The issue that was impacting aiming and movement when making small adjustments with some controller types and keyboard + mouse settings has been resolved. Thank you for your patience while we were working on a fix.
- We have issued a fix for the issue causing crashing when attempting to play UEFN islands on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Some players may still experience issues, and we are working on a full resolution in a future update.
- SoundWaves with 96khz sample rates now play correctly in UEFN islands.
Epic Games has not released patch notes so far, though one bug being worked on is a fix to the TPM and Secure Boot, which incorrectly show PC players as ineligible to participate in certain tournaments. Don’t be surprised to see that fix as part of today’s update.
