Hi, Epic Games team!

I would like to report an issue with the Laufey skin, which was the headliner of the previous Fortnite Festival season.

When the skin was released, the dress had beautiful, natural movement and flowed like real fabric. However, after some players complained that the physics "interfered with gameplay," the dress was changed. It now looks extremely stiff and rigid, almost as if it were made of a solid material.

Please consider bringing back the original dress physics. Even better, add an option in the Styles tab to choose between the original flowing dress and the current rigid version. This would satisfy both sides: players who prefer the original movement and those who found the physics distracting.

This is also a concern shared by other players who purchased the outfit. One player pointed out that the outfit was one way when purchased, only to be changed afterward, and said they would expect an edit style for the dress physics or a refund option. As another player put it: "I really hope they revert to the previous physics, because they announce it one way, but in-game it's something else entirely, which isn't right. Reverting it would be ideal, but an option in the styles tab to switch between the original flowing dress and the current rigid one would also be a good solution."

The attached images compare the dress in its current state with how it looked upon release.

Thank you for reading this report. I sincerely hope you consider restoring the original physics, either as the default or as an optional style. Many players, myself included, would love to see Laufey's dress move naturally again.

Please fix Sora's keychain in the Keyblade Flourish emote. If you have the Keyblade pickaxe equipped and try doing the emote, the keychain will bug out. Also you are technically having False Advertising in Rocket League as the Player Anthem for the Gummi Ship song is labeled Blast Away II when it is Blast Away I

Hi epic games team

Since servers are currently down/transitioning for the new season launch, this initial feedback focuses strictly on core performance. Based on our testing across multiple high-end hardware setups (specifically AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D + RTX 5070 and Ryzen 7 9850X3D + RTX 5070), the overall FPS and frame stability are unfortunately not as smooth or “magical” as expected.

Key Performance Issues:

  1. Frametime Spikes & Micro-Stutters: Despite recent updates, we are still experiencing noticeable stuttering and drops during heavy endgames, fast building, and rapid camera rotations across all tested hardware.

  2. Mouse responsiveness still feels slightly heavier and less crisp than it should on high-performance configurations.

  3. Overall FPS Stability: We were hoping for a cleaner and more consistent performance boost across the board, but frame rates remain volatile during high-load scenarios.

Note: This post will be continuously updated as the new season launches. We will be adding a full list of newly discovered bugs, UI issues, performance drops, and specific gameplay improvements we would like to see fixed.

It's amazing that all of this stuff as well as cosmetic fixes are being communicated like this! I know you're still working on stuff but since I didn't see this on the list of cosmetics you're looking to fix next, I'll let you know about this one if you weren't already aware of it. Since v38.00, Axo's "Midnight" "Tail On" edit style has bugged shoes that shouldn't be there. They are mistextured shoes that should only appear on his default style. As an Axo main I would love to see the original intended version of the skin be restored.
