Fortnite graphics bug explained
It’s unclear what exactly causes the Fortnite render bug but people have nailed down some of the biggest triggers they’ve come across.
Using the new MK7 rifle, with or without scoping in, can sometimes cause surrounding areas to improperly load. Meanwhile, the build menu and player names have been shown to create a similar graphic glitch throughout different matches.
Even though the problem looks very similar to how the game would look like if a graphics card was dying, people are convinced it’s a Fortnite issue that’s recreating the error with different players.
