    What's the latest update from Fornite? What did it add?

    Fortnite has been updating a lot recently, but with the Chinese New Year, it's gone and given a major patch that truly changes a lot. Check out some of the patch notes below. And the full one here.

    GENERAL
    • Enabled dynamic resolution and high quality temporal upsampling on PS4 and Xbox One.
      • Dynamic resolution gives more consistent framerate during heavy combat and increases visual fidelity when load on the GPU is lighter.
      • Full 4K Resolution now supported on Xbox One X.
    • Added a key binding for "Toggle Pickaxe" on PC.
    • PC + Mac Social Panel has been expanded to make browsing long lists of friends easier.
    • Added distinctive sound variations when starting to build with Wood/Stone/Metal.
    • Fixed multiple scenarios where connectivity errors would block login.
    • Improved XMPP connection recovery on console.
    • Optimized XMPP payloads.
    • Removed extra queries when returning from match.
    • Removed redundant store queries.
    Bug Fixes
    • Fixed a problem with empty progress bars incorrectly showing as full bars on Mac.
    • Fixed Discord game invites and rich presence information.
    PS4
    Bug Fixes
    • In continued partnership with SIE, we have been able to resolve the issue that occurred for some Fortnite players in which patches took longer to download than they should. If you experience a recurrence of this issue, please reach out to Epic Customer Service and we will address appropriately.

    • The reload-failed messages will no longer display on weapons that do not have a clip to reload (i.e. - Minigun).
    • Removed per-bullet rounding on shotgun damage calculation.
      • Damage was rounded down to the nearest whole number for each individual pellet.
