Yeah, some netcode changes would be ok^^.
All I'm trying to say is even Fortnites Netcode was not the best at the start it will get better.
(Fortnite may be a massive revenue generator but developer Epic Games isn't one to rest on its laurels. The game's net code has been tweaked ever so often for better performance. Starting at a tickrate (the rate at which the game is run on a server) as low as 8Hz Fortnite's patch 3.4 brought it up to 20Hz. After a number of upgrades and downgrades, Fortnite's tickrate is at a stable 30Hz minimum with the latest 4.2 patch. The client update rate has also been upped to 75/s from 50/s. However do these upgrades improve gameplay?
According to YouTuber Battle(non)sense (via VG 247) tested this out with two PCs having a ping of 25ms to the same server to see how big the delay for each of them would be at different times of the day. Before this, Fortnite had a delay between 63ms to 70ms depending on what you're doing in the game. After the Fortnite patch 4.2 it dropped to an average of 20ms.)

Sure for casual players it doesn't matter and i'm being picky. But I never enjoyed Fortinite, i'm use to games like Overwatch, csgo wich servers are pretty good.
I have a 240hz monitor when i see 20hz server tickrate feelsbadman ^^
But if I learn something in videogames today to stay popular and alive you need : An esport scene and a twich scene.
Thing is bad servers are not Esport or stream friendly.
But sure Respawn did a great job on gameplay.

You are right 100%.
"Servers are not Esport or stream friendly."
But they are trying.
Let's hope for the best. - 7 years ago

@So_Uncivil1zedI'm in no position to be picky my ping is always going to be over 100 unless EA puts servers in Canada. My problem is I can't even play. I go out of sync nearly every game and the games I dont, I can't actually play for 5 minutes until the circle closes because my hits never register, thats if I can even see the warping targets.
Blackout, pubg and fortnite all have around 100 to 120 for me but I can still play from the time I land to the endgame.- 7 years ago
netcode and servers are crap, i stoped playing because of it.
