Fortnite Update 1.000.169 Rolled Out; Issues for All Modes Listed
[summaraize]
Fortnite update 1.000.169 is available for download this March 6, and it’s out on all platforms. This is another unannounced patch by Epic Games, so don’t expect any new content outside of fixes.
Don’t expect this patch to fix everything wrong with the game given the multitude of modes available. We do have the list of known issues Epic is looking into for every mode.
Fortnite’s March 7 Update Sneaks Up to Player Withouth Any Announcement
Some of the issues acknowledged by the Fortnite Status Twitter/X account that have yet to be resolved include:
- We’ve fixed an unintended issue that may have caused Aim Assist on PC devices to not work correctly.
- We’ve identified an issue where enabling Hardware Ray Tracing on PC may lead to the Fortnite game client crashing for some players. As a result, we’ve temporarily disabled the setting and will provide an update once it is available again.
- Due to an issue, we’ve had to temporarily disable deep links to UEFN and Creative Islands on PC.
