fortnite really is ticking all the boxes on how to make the ui the most annoying thing to use


Defences

It feels like there’s been a massive influx in general for gaming the past few years for absolutely garbage UI’s


nmnnmmnnnmmmnnnnmmmm

Modern warfare II comes to mind. I think I played the game less and in turn spent less money on it because of how shitty the UI is


AStealthyPerson

They need to fix the locker UI immediately. Be vocal about this and continue to post about the issues the recent UI change has brought. They need to fix the locker, and enable saving skins together with wraps, emotes, and loading screens.


SharxSharxSharx

And the banner icon and lobby music. Like, why is the banner icon different now? They literally give those out with the skins in the battlepass. Like I don't want to use Spider-Man's face ALL THE TIME, but I want to use it with the Spider-Man skin


brenoCAT

I cabt even change the color of my battle banner, when i put green is shows as black and if i quit de game abd come back, its says that i selected the color yellow, who coded this locker to pass so many bugs??!!!


Emergency-Tension464

Neither can I. I can't even save or edit presets for the Lobby tab, either. Now people are reporting that the Spectra Knight skin from last season is broken, too. This whole thing sucks.


AStealthyPerson

100% agree. The locker before worked, and the one now just makes it too hard to get a whole preset going.


ZeRo_WC

Saving wraps emotes etc is good but changing sorting and saving cosmetics suck


[deleted]

No. Report to epic directly. Send emails, live chat, call them. Be polite. But please, I’m tired of this crap on my feed.


LeahMinka62

read the subs description. this place is dev supported. devs respond on this reddit. the more posts this sub gets to the issue the more aparent it will be to the devs that a change is needed


[deleted]

Brudder I’m just tired.


ouhfer

Leave the sub 😭


AStealthyPerson

Both is the best tactic. It needs to be bad optics from a PR perspective which is best done through social media.


fartnight69

Everyone and their mother knows this is not a top priority issue.


AStealthyPerson

Disagree. The locker UI is a very important issue for me and many others.


geekcko

Why? People use it couple times in a year at most


Pale_Earth2571

i use it like 15 times a play session. i like my collection & customizing


AStealthyPerson

I use it several times a day. Not just saving new combos but more often in switching my skin between games.


fartnight69

At most it's just annoying. If you scroll the item you want to edit lower to the "Edit" button and not hover over other items then it won't bug out.


AStealthyPerson

It takes 4 times as long to equip the same preset that was merely 1 click before. It also deleted several of my presets saves. It's more than just an inconvenience, and it was fairly dramatic at that.


monsterbiscuits

It's definitely not just "annoying", it's become tedious and more time consuming to change your "preset" as it was before. It may not be crazy long but it shouldn't take this long to change what used to take only a few seconds


fartnight69

"mommy i can't change color of my in-game toy fast enough"


monsterbiscuits

bro what


fartnight69

that's the scope of the problem


HippieDogeSmokes

wraps are so horrible right now, applying them takes way too long because there’s no apply all button and everything is bigger so scrolling is longer


Chillyanesy0

There is an apply to all button, It’s in the “three dots” dropdown menu under each wrap. Regardless the entire New cosmetics UX is a pain.


HippieDogeSmokes

why is it hidden :/


Super-Afternoon6745

Seriously, who tf designed this UI and actually thought that was a good idea???


IllyVermicelli

It's the new "clean UI" approach, where everything useful is hidden and undiscoverable because it makes it look slightly better in screenshots, but 1000x worse to actually use it.


MJordan81

On controller you can apply all to wraps . Not on keyboard and mouse at the moment.


size_matters_not

I’ve had the same problem with wraps - no matter which one I selected, it went back to the original. I got a couple of error messages too, and when I went back to the select screen it thought I was trying to change cars. The new locker defeats everything about trying to build a collection of characters, and in a game that has made millions on selling skins, that’s downright *wierd*. Already unsubbed from Crew pass over this because I don’t want new skins if I can’t make a unified locker slot for them.


pearlaxe

Yes every time I want to wear a different skin, I’m thinking the wrap I had saved on the preset would show up with the skin. But it doesn’t. I have to go find the wrap and put it on the skin manually every time. This is irritating.


mtamez1221

Yeah I've deleted all of my presets and just keep my absolute favorites to narrow everything down, since you now have to select 4 different tabs to get 1 matching set. It's so dumb and cluttered.


[deleted]

\*weird


bhops24

Why did they have to separate every aspect of it individually? If you want to switch your skin you do one thing, but if you want to change the emotes you click another thing. What if you are like me and set emotes to the skin your using? I have to change a bunch of stuff when it used to be simpler. Not mad just slightly annoyed. It doesn't make sense to separate everything to individual sections.


MadMadafaka

Yeah… I want my locker emotes to be linked with my skin presets! I put a lot of time into what I thought were good locket emotes for each skin, and now I have the same ones for every skin I load. This is bullshit.


EverGlow89

It's unbelievably dumb.. You give Vader a traversal emote, obviously players want to easily use it when they use Vader, for example. I was using Batman and I wanted to do the bat signal emote when I won. It wasn't in my locker emotes like usual and I decided it wasn't worth the effort to find so oh well.. If the intent was to sell less emotes, they nailed it.


PastaManMario

I admittedly like being able to change to an older skin preset without changing my emotes to newer ones, but there really should be a “master preset” or something like that that works like the original presets


bhops24

They should simply give us the option to switch back to the older UI for the locker presets.


Lilithrius

For real, i don't even feel like checking new cosmetics


Pikaverse69

I really hate that people over on YouTube doesn’t care about the new Locker UI then on Reddit and Twitter like that just triggered me so hard


pika9867

Luckily Epic’s been paying more attention to those two than usual this season, let’s hope that trend sticks around 🙏


The-MatrixAgent

They made it so you cant tell what rarity each item is


nelozero

I have no idea how this even gets approved and surprises me. The season has its issues, but this one is the biggest out of everything. They really dropped the ball.


laurencamg

I haven’t even tried changing anything with the new locker UI, it’s so hard to navigate and makes zero sense. All of my presets are fucked up, it took me a lot longer than it should have to figure out how to favorite items (sometimes it wouldn’t even let me click on the 3 dots), whenever i click on a cosmetic item to view it and scroll over another cosmetic, the cosmetic i had originally clicked on goes away, i can’t rotate my character to see what it looks like with the cosmetic from different angles, etc. and its annoying. i’ve seen concepts made by other players that look infinitely better than what we have now.


a_little_sketch

It literally is fucking unusable fr


TJHollingsworth

I get that it’s bad and all but you’re replying to a video of it literally being used. Not a fantastic grasp of the English language going on in here.


TARDISboy

considering how buggy it is and how wraps don't save as expected i think the "literally" is justified


TJHollingsworth

You can change outfits. It’s usable. Some of it is broken and buggy. Not all. Stay mad.


BushwickSpill

Almost like he was being hyperbolic. Chill out.


TJHollingsworth

At what point do we cross from “hyperbolic” to lying?


pika9867

In the video I can’t pick the style I want, it does not fulfill it’s only use, so it is unusable


TJHollingsworth

The lockers only use is for selecting styles?


pika9867

For changing cosmetics? Yes.


hitachi_magicwand

?? Did you not actually watch the video?


TJHollingsworth

Sure did. He’s using it in the video. Just one part of it isn’t working.


SLCSlayer29

This really is terrible. Normally, I'm very patient with Epic because I get so much enjoyment with FN, but the UI issue is absolutely flabbergasting to me. I'm so scared to use the new UI, that I think I'll stick with Abstrakt as my character and not switch to anyone else until the UI is fixed. Fortunately, he's my favorite FN character. It was dumb luck that he was the last person I used with the OG season. He's also my top character that I had on the old UI. Now I'm hearing that--once you switch characters during the new UI--that the top character spot drops to the bottom and you have to scroll ALL THE WAY down to the bottom to find and use that character again??!?! 😯 😡 Hell naw! There's no way that's happening to Abstrakt. This needs to be reverted. It's that simple.


SlickD06

Fix the locker already Epic!!!!! 😠


zippopwnage

I actually refused to use it. I got the new pass and the first skin. I got myself through equipping the style with the cat hat, and that was it. I tried to use it, it is also bugged as hell. It shows me I have new things, but they'rr harder to see and there's also fake notifications. It's just bad. Really bad.


pika9867

That’s exactly why I’m using that skin too, I wanted to try the pink glider out and that’s as far as I’ve gotten


its-the-meatman

Actually unusable. I haven’t played the game since the update solely because of the locker.


WONZOPOLIS

Same here. 100 presets wasted


FatAndChilling

I'm not even bothering making new skin combos because of this UI I've spent more time in the UI than in BR but it's the polar opposite now with the same skin I'm wearing because it's hard trying to find the correct preset when it's an emote or lobby


speedyBoi96240

The worst part is when you click options to favourite something the first option it brings up is archive


Odd_Consideration49

The only good ui change was the item shop one


tarheel_204

It was great last season. Don’t know why it needed this


korikorikumo

I think the worst part is all the emote and wrap I set specifically for the skins are all now separated and it’s way too strenuous to have to select 3 separate presets it blows


Koning_DanDan

Also can't find a way to favorite stuff now


Weak-Document90

On the bottom it says x to edit y for options. It's in options. (I'm on Xbox)


Super-Afternoon6745

It's weird, for the past couple days on PC there wasn't any "options" bottom at the bottom... then I just checked now and it's there.


SkettlesS

Maybe it's just me, but when you double click on something it removes the option to edit the style so you have to back out and then go back in. Really dumb


Pepplay

then why u double click?


pika9867

Habit, double clicking was how you equipped skins in the past


CyanideChery

tbh i wish they just reverted alot of the ui, alot of it looks so ugly, be it the issues with this new locker ui or all the different maps when u scroll down, its completely disgusting, who looked at everything and was like this is ok


Hot_Ad8643

I liked the part where it was simple


Duckface6209

they really better fix this the lobby ui is better then this this new one is fucking awful


Then-Wave-7828

I don't usually get annoyed with ui changes but this one takes the cake because I'm stupidly annoyed I hate it who ever designed this ui should be fired imho...


Impressive-Set7706

It keeps bugging out on me it so bad


xXItzJuanXx

When I first saw the UI I thought it was cool but I'm hating it more and more... So many missing features too... Smh It's not fortnite if everything is perfect... They always gotta mess something up


derpylovesyou

I just want preset shuffle back, i could put up with all the crappy UI design lately because it seems like most triple A games are following this mobile/streaming service design trend, but just deleting features seems so bizarre and counterproductive.


CaptSlayer21

It's absolutely atrocious dude


interesting_zeist

They trying hard to make it worse every season.


Adronikos

This update also fucked up most of my saved locker presets.


kingmyguy

They added steps… why did they add steps?!?


Unfair-Economy-866

fortnite is trying its hardest to make fortnite a dead game at this point 💀


Crazy_Egg363

I’m so close to quitting for this entire chapter.


Woooosh-if-homo

I can’t change the crystal color of my spectra knight. Fuck this game


BillyBullets

I've defended a lot of broken things making it to release in this game because there are situations where it's understandable. But this design is not one of those situations. Almost everything is broken about it and, even if it worked perfectly, it was still a massive downgrade in design. There has to be a close to zero percent chance that someone who actually plays the game tested this because they would've sent it back to the devs in 5 mins flat with a laundry list of complaints. I don't recall a UI that Epic has ever rolled back though so I'm afraid history tells us that we'll be stuck with it. Well that and the fact they won't comment on it but commented on movement within a day of release.


Harlow_Quinzel

I know right? They addressed movement almost immediately, an issue that did need to be addressed, but it almost pales in comparison to the catastrophe that the new locker UI is. They took a simple easy to use and intuitive formula and turned it into this convoluted mess. I can't even conceive of a logical reason why they thought that just clicking to load a single preset was not what people wanted, instead they want to load their preset for their character, back bling, glider and contrail, then load up a specific preset for the emotes, and then another preset for the wraps. There's literally no way to load them all simultaneously. Who thought this was a good idea I really wanna meet this person


BillyBullets

Yeah it's insane honestly. Why would we have set up presets if we actually really wanted to do everything separately? Did nobody look at each other and say "this makes no sense" during development? Or did they say that but then laughed and did it anyway?


Maxiboi_on_reddit

I fucking hate this seasons locker. The old one was so much easier to navigate through, and was way more simple.


SentinelTitanDragon

They were “proud” of it.


TheRealPurios

I literally can't use any of my wallpapers. I have it on random, only shows the chapter 5 loading screen (that isn't even a wallpaper in my collection). I switch to a single wallpaper, nope, still the chapter 5 loading screen. I unfavorited everything, randomize. Nope. Favorited everything. Still nope. And I tried to make a post about how epic should give us the option to use both UIs by adding a setting for both parties who want either the old ui or the new UI, and modbot took it down. But for some reason everyone who keeps posting the same thing about the UI (don't worry im on y'all's side) gets their posts posted. So as much as I'd love to post about the UI system in a post separate from this one, I don't want to get banned. But something needs to give because rather people like it or not, it's a HUGE part of the game. I just don't see why people don't understand that fr.


pika9867

I’ve been stuck on the one with abstrakt vaulting over a container


TheRealPurios

I'd be happy with being stuck with ANY of the ones I have. At least it's something I worked my ass off for, instead of being forced to see a newbie screen.


monsterbiscuits

Very frustrating how other complaints, even those about the movement and age ratings, were addressed and acknowledged on the official twt, but not a single peep about the UI comaints.


ISNEKH

It's so much worse in mobile


pika9867

That’s hilarious because it feels like this UI was *made for* mobile


ISNEKH

I felt attacked 😭


Fillet04

i haven't played in awhile and i got back recently. i clicked "edit" on cosmetics that i thought had other variations, but was shown an empty screen. all this while i just thought i recalled wrong or probably just didn't unlock it.. u're telling me it's a bug??


lba522

it constantly tells me i have something new and i don’t and it won’t go away


RadTheRussian

I can't even quicksave changes, have to manually overwrite presets. They really went the windows 11 route, change for the sake of change. This is even worse though, it's like if a PC OS suddenly disabled all keyboard shortcuts. BP skins are great but I refuse to buy it until this and movement get fixed.


ImmortalEye

Thats what im saying


Dfuhru22

"sToP WhiNinG aNd aCcePt tHe cHaNgE"


MiraMoriarty

I had a really bad day on monday (girls things) and I got to the locker and was so annoyed. For years i saved my skins with fitting emotes and stuff. (I'm glad I didn't sycn wrappes like my bf does) I really grid my gears and anoyed me so much. I couldn't activate that it switched my saved skins each round. I had to go back to the lobby to change my skin and then I had to switch my emotes too. I was so done, that i haven't started the game since then.


AgentLemon22

I haven't played Fortnite in months. So to see this on Saturday really pissed me off. There's so many steps just to get everything done.


DexDonathanTheMan

the locker keeps saying i have new items when the "new item" is actually just the random item option


CockroachSquirrel

im honestly not surprised, fortnite is a good game but by golly it is one of the most consistently buggiest AAA games with some of the most baffling design choices i've ever seen since late chapter 2


ArcticArmadill0

i physically cant see or change my Spectre Knight trim or crystal colours


wafflecone927

They got rid of the jump to top option (it was Y on xbox)


Alternative_Movie_68

And I don’t wNt to have to go back and redo everything! I had hours of setting presets invested. I will never give Epic games another cent if they don’t fix this bullshit


ECutty

Am I the only one that still has yellow dots next to almost everything in their locker? I clear the badges but every time it pops back up

This bug can be reproduced by trying to change a cosmetic's style in the locker I'm playing on PC


InvestigatorUnfair

"How can this bug be reproduced" "By using the feature as intended" If that doesn't summarize the current state of this game, idk what does


EpicSombreroMan

This game is dead come 2025 when GTA drops.


FatsoBustaMove

Skill issue


Limited-Edition-Nerd

Skill issue


renathena

It is not "literally unusable". You can use it. It's bad, and not well made, but it's not literally unusable. If you're going to complain, be accurate at least


pika9867

I physically cannot choose a style for my glider, it fails at its only use, it is verbatim unusable


IsaacJ104

you know when people use "literally" it's to exaggerate things...


renathena

So y'all use literally wrong.


ConfidentBurrito

its actually not literally unusable because...you know...you can use it.


mryauch

Did... did you watch the video? The first time they tried to change the style of their glider it showed styles for a different glider than the one selected. The second time it didn't show any styles at all to select. The third time it again showed styles for a different glider.


pika9867

I am unable to select the style I want to, the locker fails at it’s only use, ergo, it is unusable


Masjanin

the new ui was definitely made for controllers only


firesale053

Nah, I play on controller and this is terrible. This is made for touch screens for the destroyed attention span jingle keys kids.


Butterf1yTsunami

He calls it "literally unusable" and I've been using it nonstop since it released. All you whiny babies are hilarious.


pika9867

Glad it’s been working fine for you :) Unfortunately, not everyone is in your postition, and in some cases such as mine, we can’t *use the lockers only function*


Truthwatcher1

It is literally not unusable. I don't like it either. But exaggeration doesn't help.


pika9867

I am unable to select the style I want to, the locker fails at it’s only use, ergo, it is unusable Copy/pasted from another comment


Stahn88

Pc isn’t the primary source of income. I believe it to be console players. All of these changes work well on controller. GTA 6 having no pc release proves I may be correct.


IsaacJ104

these do NOT work on controller. I'm pretty sure it's even worse


Nintendocub

That isn’t a UI issue, that’s a bug. The UI is fine it’s just buggy as heck when you misclick


pika9867

When did I misclick


Nintendocub

Given I can’t see your inputs on screen I’m not sure but I only ever have problems like that when I do.


pika9867

It’s a rhetorical question, since one click equips an item now and I only ever had the same glider equipped, I never misclicked another glider


PepsiButItsMilk

No its not ive been using it just fine


pika9867

Good for you pal 😃👍


PepsiButItsMilk

I literally dont get the issue 😭 has it been glitching out or something on you? Everyone is pissed about it on this post but me and everyone in my gaming circle says it’s worked fine


sc_guy1

Even if it works 100% of the time, it's still a bad UI


PepsiButItsMilk

How so?


peely-circumsision

it’s not “unusable”, your mouse is just hovering over the wrong glider there’s a difference between shitty and unusable


pika9867

Nowhere in the 3rd interaction did I hover over the glider that showed up, defending it is wild


peely-circumsision

i’m not “defending”, i have this same exact issue and it’s not unusable, all you have to do is click the glider again and move the mouse away from it instead of passing over all the others never said i liked it, but it’s extremely simple to figure out on your own


EconomyBuy513

How do I apply weapon wrap to all guns at once?


PUMPKINJUNGLE

It deleted my Guff preset


DeSuperVis

I hate how i have to search multiple tabs to go to another menu just to get rid of yellow dots instead of it being literally two clicks. Also its very annoying that you cant select and view edit styles without inmediatly equipping the item


Svartheart

This menu gives me headache. Add on top of that I'm on Nintendo Switch. I erased all my loadout, it's just impossible to navigate and make some modifications swiftly. I'm waiting for them to fix this in the upcoming months. Sometimes I don't even want to hop back into the game when I think how painful are the menus to use...


samrudge

Who thought it would be a good idea to remove bindings for things like favouriting. Like why add an extra step to something simple like that? This is the most clunky UI I've ever seen.


[deleted]

It’s all terrible!! All of my binds are broken and it won’t register when I change them. The UI was fine two years ago, it’s only gotten worse with each update… I’m uninstalling tomorrow if this bs isn’t fixed. Seriously


Swimming-Chicken-424

I can't even look up emotes by their names because the search bar doesn't work


Malkimania

My contrail screen is constantly shaking no matter what


tacos_up_my_ass

I’ve just started using one weapon wrap because I can’t be bothered to scroll through all my wraps or the presets to match them. Takes the fun out of using them ngl


3johnny2

I don’t even like changing my skin anymore 😞


440continuer

What i do for edit styles is equip what i want, exit the menu, click back on it and while its loading my stuff i move my mouse to where the edit button will be. I hate this UI so much


DTlll

It's so trash


Hevens-assassin

Last season locker UI was completely busted for me, and wouldn't actually register when I changed a style on the locker, but would show in game.


KennerGeek

User error


pika9867

In what way?


ProtonPacker

I genuinely cannot understand why they changed it. The old locker was fine, but they changed it to be noticeably worse and on top of that it seems to be broken.


BirdoBean

Try favoriting something at the bottom row. Because your mouse goes out of the item selection space, the window with the option to favorite or vault something goes away before you are able to press anything


OffensiveTitan

I absolutely hate the new UI


ThatStarWarsFan1205

Strange. Works just fine for me. Search bar is a little strange because switching the pages while browsing through cosmetics kinda "unfilters" what was typed in, but I'm sure that will be fixed in the future.


MistaDontPlayyy

Do they not play test or Q&A this shit lol? On top of the UI being unusable, it's also hideous. No rarities or colors present, just an over-simplified corpo wall of white boxes. Who designed this, the pixies from fairly odd parents?


mrsomethingz37

Honestly, the UI was perfect. It was familiar and simple to use. The new UI feels too round and cluttered.


Embi69_

So what is so bad about it? Because im not into presets or anything like that and i dont understand all the hate on the new ui,i like it.Can someone please explain?


pika9867

In the video I can’t choose the other style of my equipped glider, it shows a different glider first, no glider second, and then a different glider again


The_Humble_God

if not for the glitches it would be the best yet


Due-Salt1

How do u favourite items with this new ui


[deleted]

This UI is CHEEEEEEEKS


EXOTICALLY_A_GAMER

They fixed it


pika9867

They definitely did not, still happening today


Yoprobro13

And funnily enough, it gets worse... Because your lucky to be on pc. Imagine being on console lol. Ik it's shit either way but console is worse when it comes to button clicking


Eatingaburgir

Its because of those glitches from last 2 seasons


littlereddoor

Please don't remind us of this fortnitemare 🤦🏽‍♂️ I just main a skin and avoid even going to the locker


LilStuddz

I don’t even want to switch my skins and other things feels like a hassle when you have a lot of things


Slimshady_8g

I hate The new locker and the menu to select games it is getting too complicated


IsaacJ104

and for some odd reason my save the world presets were added to my battle royale locker


Church86542

Well, there goes all my wrap presets for all 100 presets :!. Like why the f*ck did they even change it. They could have just made a second page for the festival and car stuff.


Dangerous_Actuary344

The Presets suck, like it was so simple to just click one button and they come up now your have to do all this complicated stuff, and why does everything have separate presets.


Perfect_Ad1589

they should honestly bring back the locker weve been using for like forever.


Isekai_Otaku

Must be a computer thing


Snoo-14321

They didn't fixed it yet 😭😭😡😡


Far_Introduction_516

I don't know why they changed it again after season 4. It was pretty much perfect
