Hi, Epic Games team!

I would like to report an issue with the Laufey skin, the current headliner of the Fortnite Festival.

At launch, the dress flowed naturally and looked amazing. After players claimed it "interfered with gameplay," its movement was changed, leaving it unnaturally stiff instead of behaving like an actual dress.

Rather than forcing one version, please add a style option with flowing or rigid physics. That would satisfy everyone: players who love the original elegant movement, and those who prefer the dress to remain stiff because they believe it avoids gameplay interference.

Attached are images showing the dress's current disappointing state, along with another showing how beautiful it looked and behaved at the skin's release.

Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope this beautiful skin receives the option it deserves. Many players are still hoping to see its original dress physics return.

Salve, vorrei segnalare per l'ennesima volta il problema ai pugnali doppi che non scattano. Grazie.

Any ETA on the Back To The Future Time Machine vehicle decals being fixed?

Can I download preloaded assets rather than having to use the streamed assets?

Fix the audio and visual audio

Disappointed in the amount of bugs in brick life that are being ignored. Please don’t let this game mode die. The display tables are so messed up along with a million other bugs.

I’ve been experiencing an issue for about a couple weeks where i’m getting forced onto central servers instead of east. I live in nc and my ping is lower on central than east for whatever reason. it’s been difficult to play with such high ping.

Epic are you going to fix the bug where mastered sprites don't pop up into the mastery pod backbling due to the sprites being mastered while the battle pass was inactive? Please fix it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
