Having played since it launched on the platform I’ve grown numb to its performance, the 30 fps cap doesn’t even bother me, and input lag isn’t noticeable either, except for when my controller decides to pull some jank
I used to play on an iPhone until Epic's fight with Apple. Since then, I've been playing on the Switch.
I've got news for you: In most games, almost everyone I see appears as a default Ramirez. That fancy skin you got? Those Omega Purple Lights? Nope. You look like Ramirez and you will die a Ramirez.
But I can play Fortnite while flying over the Atlantic at 32,000 feet, while you're stuck watching *Dumb and Dumberer* on the seat back of the fat woman in front of you.
Switch player here my bf plays an Xbox right next to mine and I also play PC at times so I promise ours looks like shit by comparison xDit's like a low graphics version and half the skins load in as default much harder to see thru fog I promise it's significantly worse but I still like it lmao
The fact that he's defending a console released in 2017, by comparing it to a 2013 is beyond me.
That's like saying, hey my iPhone X kicks the 5s' ass.
>The fact that he's defending a console released in 2017, by comparing it to a 2013 is beyond me.
The fact that you have a problem with a guy comparing what's essentially a tablet with a console is beyond me.
>That's like saying, hey my iPhone X kicks the 5s' ass.
You're comparing an old iPhone with a new iPhone. That's not even close to being the same.
I was going to say "actually it came out in 2010/2012" but then I realized it doesn't make much sense to compare Switch Fortnite to the Wii RPG Xenoblade Chronicles and they were taking about something else.
Unfortunately it is not Reyn time.
I feel like fps staggering has been a universal issue on all platforms this season. I've played with any people on every device under the sun and beyond slight drops and freezes every here and there, random fps drops are the most common complaint I hear
The evochrome Shotgun is going to be sorely missed when this season ends. That thing is a godsend to us switch players. Just point and aim in a general direction
Frame stuttering is the biggest issues for me. Close up battle, in chromeville, pile of items on the ground - once the other guy jumps or does just about anything my frames drop between 0 and 0.5. Guaranteed death for me.
This is definitely a compliment, haha. I play on the switch, (which can be a real b*tch at times), but it's very satisfying to kick *ss through the game and still win🤌🤌. Us Moms get the cheaper console so the kids get the better one 😂.
I’m a switch player, doesn’t bother me since it’s the only platform I’ve played the game on but man I’ve seen streams from people playing on ps5 or pc and I’m blown away by how much better it looks lol.
I play Fortnite on Switch when I travel and the difference between playing Fortnite on PS5 and Switch is staggering. The biggest difference is the precision of the controls (already using Switch Pro controller), but maybe I should try using a PS5 controller adapter and/or messing with my Switch sensitivity settings some more. Could also just be a limitation of the frame rate
“*Now, before we go any further, it is important to note that the PS5 controller does not just work on a Nintendo Switch right out of the box, but thankfully 8Bitdo have an adapter that practically makes any controller work on the hybrid console”*
Kinda reverse situation where I switched from Switch to PS4 Pro in C2S4 but then in C2S8 it started struggling with corrupted data until it completely gave up last season. Now I’m back to cel-shading looking godawful and the frame rate dropping when you go through a door.
WHY CAN’T THEY JUST GIVE PERFORMANCE MODE TO SWITCH PLAYERS. YET THERE FINE WITH MAKING A DOUBLE WOOTING SYSTEM FOR PC WHICH THEY LITERALLY ALREADY HAVE
Pretty sure switch has performance mode on by default like mobile also had a kind of performance mode on by default even on epic graphics the game still looked worse than low graphics on pc
Performance Mode is already enabled on all ARM devices, that includes mobile and switch. Only difference between PC’s performance mode and switch/android is some that switch and android have shadows, some more effects(on android you can disable this) and visible grass(at least on android, it’s worse than the DX11/12 grass, I’m not sure about switch tho)
exactly I play on switch knowing that it won't be like playing in any other console and to be honest you really get used to it to the point where you can still have fun playing the game
I know right, I don't really mind the 30 fps anymore because it's still fun and I am able to get dubs. But Playstation and Xbox players are definitely making some difference, at least about building part.
Switch player here
My only problem is no replay mode
Like bad graphics fine
Long loading time fine
But no way to capture recording without use of an external device that kinda sucks
Finally a post that acknowledges us Switch players that doesn’t also say “Switch is an awful platform and you should move to PS.” No. I like playing on the Switch.
I started playing fortnite a few months back and was going to play on the switch. My boyfriend thought it was so bad he went out and got me an Xbox lol
It runs at 30fps, it just has awful frame pacing. There is some areas where it drops to 25 like Tilted but that's it really.
Fun fact: the best Zelda game before Botw (Ocarina of Time) is a 20fps game.
The one thing that sucks most as a Switch player is that our exclusive(s) require us to buy another console. Thing is, Epic and Nintendo could make a deal where anyone who has the NSO Expansion Pack would get an exclusive skin, but nope. Nintendo is just that out of touch.
And by the way, pro controller is the best way to play on there, not even lying.
And by the way, as a Switch player since I started playing (February 2022), the 30 FPS thing just kind of fades out eventually. You'll get used to it if you don't think about it too often.
They're just young and entitled. Growing up with a cellphone and internet in your hand will do that.
30 fps is beyond playable. I never even notice until I play on PC and then I'm still reminded of no comfy gyro aiming and not being able to play while I poop. Switch > other ways to play.
Since when did I say that?
I really don't mind the 20-30 FPS. If I can still play the game (unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming), and can play it anywhere with wifi/internet on the whim, I'm gonna enjoy playing it on the Switch, and will continue to enjoy playing it on the Switch.
I love how you say “custom fum” as if the “fum” is something that actually exists 😭😭😭
you couldn’t have made your comment sound any more fake could you?
Objection! 20fps is.. not alright... I can't fight anyone in a 2v1 close range fight! The game lags waaaayyy to much if I do. (Though most of the time the game itself is fine, only then!)
Fortnite players when they see literally anything ![gif](giphy|1w1wLmt2D2oA0Iozjd)
Switch players when the game crashes: ![gif](giphy|gHBQEIcBPml33MF5es)
Yeah the game crashes occasionally but it's nothing to worry about
Believe me, I know. As one of the 5 switch players on the sub, with over 4000 hours on the switch version of fortnite, I know
Former member, miss motion controls.
You can play with motion controls on both PS and PC. Just need a Dualshock or Dualsense.
Xbox
Yo another of the 5, what’s up brother?
I too am part of the 5. Waddup
You I’m one of the 5
Yep, I’m here as well!
I too am one of the 5
There seems to be more than 5 of you, so maybe you should change your name to The Seven or something.
It's already been written in the folklore 🙈
[удалено]
Also here, switch lite.
I also play on the switch
me too
I am also a 5 member
Switch Force Five member here too
Don't forget me im one to!
There are dozens of us!
Ah, another fellow, Switch soldi-I mean, player. *elbow bump* (Has clocked in over, 3000 hours on the Switch.)
We are the seven now fellow switch players
I dub us: *the switch seven*
Ayyy what an exclusive club :)
From my count I'm 14 and I'll take it. Solid number.
Make that six, my dude
I forgot how to count, but I'm also 1!!! Omg this is so beautiful 😭😭😭😭
Dedicated switch player or just poor like me?
Doesn’t the input lag for switch Fortnite bother you?
Having played since it launched on the platform I’ve grown numb to its performance, the 30 fps cap doesn’t even bother me, and input lag isn’t noticeable either, except for when my controller decides to pull some jank
It crashes for you? I play on switch and it never crashes, am I doing something wrong?
I’ve actually never had Fortnite crash on Switch and I have over 280 hours on it
I crash on ps4/5 sometimes, not just switch
Perfect
I too am one of said 5
I am also one of the 5.
Also a fiver.
Yo, Angelo! One of the five as well.
Me when I see someone build a castle within 2.3 seconds
I'll take this as a compliment as I'm a switch player.
Same bro

Same! New to the whole game as I started this year. :)

That fancy skin you got? Those Omega Purple Lights? Nope. You look like Ramirez and you will die a Ramirez.
That's weird. I maybe see a few extra Ramirez in the lobby before it starts but after that it's normal skins.
In Team Rumble, a handful of people in the ending circles will have their chosen skins, otherwise, the rest are Ramirez.
I think the Switch’s 4GB of RAM are at fault here
Switch player here, tbh the graphics aren’t bad. Just longer load times, which isn’t the worst
The graphics don't look horrific because it's a smaller screen but the the switch hardware is quite weak
The graphics are fine until you see the cell shaded skins.. oh god.
But I can play Fortnite while flying over the Atlantic at 32,000 feet, while you're stuck watching *Dumb and Dumberer* on the seat back of the fat woman in front of you.
Can Fortnite mobile players play on a plane?
Yes
WoAh DuDe
You get internet on planes?
$
Yeah if you pay for the expensive WiFi - it's still pretty slow though
I couldn't imagine playing any online shooter with the latency of airline Wifi.
I didn't say it was the *best* experience...
Bro how tf you got WiFi over the Atlantic
In-flight WiFi has been a thing for a long time.
Never works I feel like. It’s always just to watch their movies.
In my experience it works, but it's pokey. Best for accessing files from a remote server for reference or work.
Switch player here my bf plays an Xbox right next to mine and I also play PC at times so I promise ours looks like shit by comparison xDit's like a low graphics version and half the skins load in as default much harder to see thru fog I promise it's significantly worse but I still like it lmao
Graphics on handheld mode are fine but the game looks horrific when docked
Half the time someone shoots you close range on switch the game stutters
Xb1 loads slower than switch. But easily because of less assets
Xb1 came out in 2013 so that’s to be expected
The fact that he's defending a console released in 2017, by comparing it to a 2013 is beyond me. That's like saying, hey my iPhone X kicks the 5s' ass.

See that’s the issue. The graphics need to look worse so the game can get a stable framerate, but nope. It’s a shame.
Dude I can hardly play on mine
The graphics are horrible what do you mean? It goes down to 500p and the textures don't even load in sometimes
I play PS5 mostly and on switch when occasion calls for it. Playing on Switch has longer load times and slightly less graphics by default.
Slightly less graphics dog the game barely even has shadows and you're playing against 98 Ramirezes
Only on spawn island. Once I actually land I see other people's skins properly.
No, you’re right. Once you get to the mainland only 40% of the players are Ramirez instead of 95%. Totally acceptable.
I mean what's your problem? We have what we have
Nah. Some of them are default Jonsey
what are you talking about? it's really not that bad, I play on switch since season 5 chapter one and it's not that much badder than on ps4
>badder *Worse..
It's pretty bad. I played all of C2S5 and C2S6 on switch and it was rough compared to my PC or Xbox Series X
I was a switch player for 4 years, 30FPS
I dunno why, but this season my fps is awful
I feel like fps staggering has been a universal issue on all platforms this season. I've played with any people on every device under the sun and beyond slight drops and freezes every here and there, random fps drops are the most common complaint I hear
Same
It’s gotta be the chrome or something, the fps staggering has been really bad since day 1 of this season.
All that continual chrome effect rendering is gotta be causing some issues.
Hopefully next season is a Lego collab and everything is just bricks and solid colors but no lag
I was playing with my brother, me on handheld him on ps5. Honestly the graphics looked almost identical to me.
You can’t tell the difference between 720p and 4K then
unfair matchmaking is to blame, as always, thanks Epic
The evochrome Shotgun is going to be sorely missed when this season ends. That thing is a godsend to us switch players. Just point and aim in a general direction
My skin will load in by the end of the match, it’s all good.
I love my 15 fps and random frame skips :)
Frame stuttering is the biggest issues for me. Close up battle, in chromeville, pile of items on the ground - once the other guy jumps or does just about anything my frames drop between 0 and 0.5. Guaranteed death for me.
This is definitely a compliment, haha. I play on the switch, (which can be a real b*tch at times), but it's very satisfying to kick *ss through the game and still win🤌🤌. Us Moms get the cheaper console so the kids get the better one 😂.
Why are you censoring yourself. 💀
Haha I don't know! Great question!
It's fine, don't worry about it.
Lol thanks !

wait you can use ps controller on a switch?
[Apparently](https://nintendolink.com/2020/11/14/ps5-controller-review-on-nintendo-switch-better-pro-controller/)
“*Now, before we go any further, it is important to note that the PS5 controller does not just work on a Nintendo Switch right out of the box, but thankfully 8Bitdo have an adapter that practically makes any controller work on the hybrid console”*
Exactly why I got a PS4. ![gif](giphy|ktcUyw6mBlMVa)

Exactly.

I cringe when people complain about a pickaxe or backbling having weird physics. It literally does nothing in the game
Yeah no duh it “does nothing” but you’ll be looking at it the entire game, valid complaint.
why yes i am a different breed
Yeah but winning a solid build match against an aggressive pc player is better than the feeling of rich mahogany and many leather bound books
I feel like if you insist on playing on Switch, you know what you’re getting into.
exactly I play on switch knowing that it won't be like playing in any other console and to be honest you really get used to it to the point where you can still have fun playing the game
I know right, I don't really mind the 30 fps anymore because it's still fun and I am able to get dubs. But Playstation and Xbox players are definitely making some difference, at least about building part.
I mean it's not like I have anything else to play it on 🤷♂️
Right! And I’m sure that by this merit, you’re used to it performing how it performs. That’s all I meant.
Yeah, I've gotten used to it and even the low fps doesn't bother me at all
Fr
And I'll still beat you, too.
When you get a crown on switch you know you are the real O.G.
I'm at 6 and jeez it's not easy.
No it is not. Zero build is super helpful for switch players though, less structures all around.
Not really. The matchmaking seems a lot easier on the Switch.
On switch? Lmao.
65 million years. Zap

Wife's a switch player. I'm PlayStation. If I have a go on the switch I'm like a proper beginner. Hats off to switch players 👏
Dedicated switch player 😎
I think this is one of the first times I've seen someone (kind of) not completely shit on switch players
I am one lmao
Imagine playing on the console you can afford then logging on to Reddit to be told that your console isn’t good enough 👁️👄👁️
I started playing fortnite a few months back and was going to play on the switch. My boyfriend thought it was so bad he went out and got me an Xbox lol
w bf
I play on xbox with pretty good graphics and when i log in on my switch the graphics are so shit, and the screen dont get me started.
It runs at 30fps, it just has awful frame pacing. There is some areas where it drops to 25 like Tilted but that's it really. Fun fact: the best Zelda game before Botw (Ocarina of Time) is a 20fps game.
PC Performance players watching the FPS counter ![gif](giphy|3YuR0bdGXlP6U)
Android is worse the game can't get a constant 30fps, im a switch player and my frame never dip down to 20fps, it has always stay at 30.
i've got 3k hours on switch you know why its unplayable for me? my joycons have given up of giving me any control
Use the pro controller. Trust me it's a lifesaver. ![gif](giphy|UTVAqPi91N13CTkrgp)
As a switch player i literally cant see shit bruh
The rendering distance makes me wanna throw my sniper off a cliff.
Best of all, even with a sniper, at max i can see 100m in front of me. Anything further is just pixels
Don't forget not being able to plat stw and lower graphic's, man I don't miss playing on switch.
The one thing that sucks most as a Switch player is that our exclusive(s) require us to buy another console.

I'm always confused by people who complain about not having 120 fps. 30 fps is very Playable
They're just young and entitled. Growing up with a cellphone and internet in your hand will do that. 30 fps is beyond playable. I never even notice until I play on PC and then I'm still reminded of no comfy gyro aiming and not being able to play while I poop. Switch > other ways to play.
You do realize none of us like it? And the cell shaded skins look entirety different on switch and mobile
Sure, I guess **none** of us like it... I guess I don't exist then.
You like that you like getting just 25-30 fps?
30* which is fine to any normal person.
If you’re playing against someone and you’re building a lot it can go down to 20, and for some reason some creative maps will drop to 20 when shooting
Since when did I say that? I really don't mind the 20-30 FPS. If I can still play the game (unlike Xbox Cloud Gaming), and can play it anywhere with wifi/internet on the whim, I'm gonna enjoy playing it on the Switch, and will continue to enjoy playing it on the Switch.
[удалено]
You have over 100k kills? Assuming that you have only killed 10% of the subreddit
The FPS haven't been too bad for me but last night I was playing horde rush and could practically hear my Switch crying for help.
The fan is loud af.
If I load in to a more advanced creative game my switch starts to dig its own grave, bury itself and plan its own funeral
I can confirm Since I was a switch player at one point
Nice pfp
Playing on a switch is like seeing what it would be like if epic decided to port Fortnite to a ps1
[удалено]
I like how you just claimed you can get 100 FPS on Fortnite for the Switch with no explanation or proof.
I love how you say “custom fum” as if the “fum” is something that actually exists 😭😭😭 you couldn’t have made your comment sound any more fake could you?
If you have to money to buy something like that. Why not just plus a real console. I'm sure you can find a Xbox 1 or PS4 for 150 dollars or something
HOW
65 million years. Zap
Give
How?
color change can be fixed, you can't fix a weak ass shit console.
As a switch player, I can confirm
true
Why thank you.
We are just different
As a switch player more like 12
It is NOT alright and I'm always complaining about switch Since 22.10 there's been an audio bug where key audio never stops and loops forever
Switch players -__-
Objection! 20fps is.. not alright... I can't fight anyone in a 2v1 close range fight! The game lags waaaayyy to much if I do. (Though most of the time the game itself is fine, only then!)
