Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 hasn’t been having the best time currently. It has been plagued with bugs, the most recent of which has discovered gamers launched staggeringly far above the map earlier than plunging to their premature loss of life.
It is because of hurdling, which is meant to permit gamers to softly vault over fences and different low objects. The motion had already been disabled again in December because of a bug, returning earlier within the week. Sadly, it is nonetheless not been mounted as movies have begun cropping up (opens in new tab) on Reddit exhibiting the sport launching gamers somewhat additional than meant.
Simply how far you get flung into orbit appears to range, with some getting a pleasant overhead view of the whole map, whereas some are solely teleported a brief distance. Others are flung excessive sufficient to die, however not excessive sufficient to appear to have any period of time to appropriately react. It is fairly humorous to witness after the very fact, however maybe not too pleasurable for people who find themselves really attempting to play the sport usually.

It is irritating to see {that a} repair nonetheless hasn’t arrived regardless of being disabled for round a month, and it is led to Epic having to tug the transfer as soon as extra. “On account of points, we have now quickly disabled Hurdling,” the Fornite Standing Twitter account posted. “Gamers are nonetheless in a position to mantle over taller obstacles. Fixes are coming quickly and we’ll present an replace when the problems are resolved.”
In addition to frustrations across the motion nonetheless going unfixed, hurdling on the whole seems to be a reasonably unpopular addition amongst Fortnite gamers. “I might fairly they maintain it out till they add an choice to disable it, or at the least maintain one other button to activate it,” one Reddit consumer posted (opens in new tab). “There’s many actions that may’t be carried out whereas sprinting, like reloading, make {that a} potential maintain to hurdle button. However even then, 99% of the time, I might fairly simply regular leap over it.”
Replies appeared to agree, with one calling it “a totally pointless addition that actively made actions worse,” and one other one saying “fairly a number of instances I’ve run as much as one thing, tried to open it, and as an alternative hurdled over the railing.”

So, maybe within the meantime, an absence of hurdle could also be a superb factor. No one appears to be significantly unhappy about its second removing. As a substitute, most frustration pointed in direction of what seems like a rushed season launch. Epic took the sport down for some unscheduled upkeep (opens in new tab) earlier within the week in an try to plug an ever-increasing variety of bugs pervading the sport. From a game-breaking bug with the favored Shockwave Hammer weapon to widespread login points, it has been one among Fortnite’s rockiest season launches to this point.
