Epic's Latest Failure_ GAME BREAKING BUG - Fortnite's Tilted Towers Unplayable

Transcript

00:00Well guys, we are here.

00:18After 8 seasons and weekly updates for over a year, Epic still hasn't managed to fix

00:23their game.

00:24We'll be discussing the recent bug change that has caused chaos all around the Fortnite

00:28community.

00:30It's evident that Epic has made a multitude of mistakes throughout their development

00:33of Fortnite, such as the addition of the boombox or airplane to the game.

00:36But what happened this weekend was, without a doubt, one of the most notable and frustrating

00:41of them all.

00:43This update sent YouTubers like TheOrangeGuy on a frenzy, with tons of new content regarding

00:48underground glitches and broken landing spots all around the map.

00:53On Friday, April 27th at around 1am, the most well-known and popular landing spot in Fortnite,

00:57Tilted Towers had been met with a horrendous glitch that Epic dubbed the Texture Glitch.

01:03Basically, Tilted Towers would not load throughout the entire game, making landing there no longer

01:08a viable option.

01:09If anyone dared to drop Tilted Towers, their game would be ruined.

01:13If players were not aware of this glitch ahead of time, landing in Tilted was basically a

01:17death wish.

01:19Without any texture on the ground, players had difficulty getting out of Tilted Towers after

01:23landing.

01:24But this texture glitch has affected more than the start of a game.

01:27The first issue was the ability to roam around the affected area.

01:31Players were not able to walk around the map like normal, nor were they able to loot the

01:34buildings, or even interact with them.

01:38That included opening doors, chests, or even pickaxing walls.

01:41So that's pretty bad.

01:42But unfortunately, that wasn't all.

01:45You'd like to think that the madness stopped there, however this was not even close to

01:49the next bug that the texture glitch brought with it.

01:53Many players were actually able to phase through the bottom of the map and hide under the floor

01:58of the Fortnite map.

02:00This was done by entering a vehicle and driving into Tilted.

02:03Once this was done, players would be thrown under the map, but not actually eliminated from

02:08the match at all.

02:09Based on the storm pattern of each game, some players were rewarded with easy wins because

02:14others could not find them in the huge mess that was Tilted Towers.

02:18All players would have to do is stay inside of the circle to get an easy guaranteed win,

02:22while the other players had to fight each other and go through much more just to have a chance

02:26at the victory royale.

02:27As bad as this is already, we regret to inform you that it does get worse.

02:32Not only was Tilted affected, but also Retail Row, yes, the two landing spots that are the

02:37most popular amongst all parts of the map in Fortnite.

02:41Despite the two most popular landing spots in Fortnite not functioning correctly, the majority

02:45of the playerbase wasn't even informed of this issue.

02:49Many thought that this glitch was not actually an issue with the game, but an issue with their

02:52platform.

02:54Usually when textures don't load in the beginning of the game, it's simply an indication that

02:57a player's device is wearing out, since it cannot process the textures as quickly as

03:01before.

03:02This fact caused many people to believe that their PCs, consoles, or even mobile phones

03:06were wearing down and needed to be replaced.

03:08God knows how many people have returned their products or even bought new ones during this

03:13time.

03:14Basically, it created mass paranoia in the Fortnite community, but that's not even mentioning the

03:19timing.

03:20The worst part of it all was that it was right before the qualifiers for the Fortnite World

03:24Cup.

03:26This made a ton of people worried about their chances at qualifying to win millions of dollars.

03:32So it added to their questioning of whether their device was capable of loading in textures

03:36during a game, which ultimately resulted in people making hasty generalizations about

03:40their hardware.

03:41This does get worse though, trust me.

03:44Epic also failed to acknowledge this glitch to their playerbase until it was too late.

03:49They only gave out a public announcement of the bug way after it was patched.

03:54Therefore players who were playing during this time had no idea what was happening until they

03:58loaded into Tilted themselves.

04:01Some people saw a tweet or reddit post, but that wasn't efficient enough.

04:05In fact, many players were left in the dark.

04:09Literally.

04:10Taking all this into consideration, we can only conclude that Epic has once again shown us

04:14that they are incapable of doing the right thing.

04:17With a recent nerf to Siphon in Fortnite, a vast majority of the playerbase argued and

04:21complained for the removal of Siphon altogether.

04:24Many large influencers in the Fortnite scene such as Ninja ran polls asking their fanbase what

04:28they thought of the changes, and without surprise, in every poll, the percentage of people who

04:33wanted Siphon back was way over 80%.

04:36Millions of people had voted in these polls and it became quite evident that the majority

04:40of Fortnite fans hated this change.

04:43The way Epic deals with this however was simply by making a statement claiming that the majority

04:47of players did not like Siphon in the game, yet they provided absolutely no evidence or

04:51proof for their claims.

04:53Meanwhile, the Fortnite community had gathered enough information to debunk this claim.

04:57To us, it appears that Epic is out of touch with the Fortnite community completely.

05:03We hope that with all these mistakes, Epic will at least learn how to deal with these

05:06types of situations in the future, but if they continue with how they have been recently,

05:10there is no doubt in our minds that the company will begin to fail, and their flagship title

05:15Fortnite will go down with them.

05:17As we reach the end of the video, we'd like to ask you guys what your thoughts are on this

05:21situation.
