This is being done by injecting ReShade onto **OBS*\, \*NOT FORTNITE**.

Do not inject ReShade onto Fortnite, you will get banned for cheating.

btw I know you don't need to protect the launcher, that build was from the randoms who then bailed after they failed to properly protect the bomb the first time around

I've retired from playing STW full time, so i have missed a lot and have to learn new things.

That being said, is this cone thing a new way of blocking spawns in this mission type? Basically no one spawned after the teammate did this.

QUESTION Anyone playing in canney valley?

I'm having a really hard time progressing in the story since all lobbies are empty. I'm all alone for really hard missions because the story keeps forcing very specific maps...

Any advice?

Was rummaging through my storage and found these 2018 TwitchCon pins!

Not sure if these are still collected or not so thought I'd check here to see if the community still has interest in these older items before I try to figure out if I should sell them! :)

Thanks!

MISC Dream Team for T.E.D.D.Y.

Post image
28 Upvotes

With the new defenders and this T.E.D.D.Y. build, you don't even need walls in most missions up to 140. Just a small, decent roof, a few Anti Air Traps on the floor, and you're good to go. Smashers don't really have anything to destroy either. ;) I almost never run out of fragments, and the cooldown is basically nonexistent.

BUG Epic will not "save" Save The World

14 Upvotes

I am convinced that Epic doesn't actually testers, which is absolutely crazy, especially for a game which had to be PURCHASED up until recently... If they have testers, then I don't think they are testing Save The World...

Every time I boot up the game, I find another bug or a new change that breaks the game, or I come across old ones that have not been fixed in nearly a decade...

now when I finish a STW run, more often than not the game crashes back to the fortnite homepage. this new end of match setting where it tries to find a homebase server, is brutal and just leads to more time wasted. sometimes it doesn't even let me press the button, freezes and crashes back to fortnite battle royale homepage...

the research page hasn't given me an item to research in a long time, even though I am picking up weapons/traps in each run i do... the idea of being able to create a schematic from items we get is cool, but the way it was implemented is terrible... the 'stats' page (pressing left/right with right stick) doesn't even work on controllers.

the game is so glitchy on controller, specifically when trying to use the right stick to scroll. when using a mouse, the mouse wheel scrolls absolutely fine, but on controller, when selecting weapons/traps to recycle and you want to scroll through to double check the stats, it freezes and you have to exit the recycle menu, check the stats, then reenter the multiple item recycling menu (i forget the name of it). this has been like this for over 6 years...

as time goes on, fewer and fewer people are playing STW. I haven't found a game with a person in months... I thought STW going Free To Play was going to revive the playerbase, but it was one of the worst launches I have ever seen, it was the opposite of "epic". I was so utterly disappointed... there was no new quests, no new area, no new weapons, no new traps, no new items, no new characters... they turned the Menu into a visual homebase, which I thought could have been cool if it was a SHARED area, where we could actually see other players. an area where we could actively recruit other players, where we could see what maps people were playing and make a group around that.

I guess Tim Sweeney is more focused on buying land in North Carolina so he can build his own "homebase"... (working up to building a Silo or 50? :P )

I thought for sure Save The World going Free to Play actually meant something, but now I think the plan the whole time was to put it in maintenance mode... It is a shame, because the game had such potential, even if Fortnite was always a way to fund/market Unreal Engine...

Thankfully there are still some great companies out there worthy of players' time and money (Pocket Pair, Hello Games, CD Project Red, Grinding Gear Games, Crate Entertainment, Awesome Games Studio, etc to name a few). Some of these companies have been putting out content for 10+ years, some charge for it but some put it out for free, and one is even Remastering the game + giving it to current owners for free. These are the ones I look up to in the industry, even if some had a bad launch, they worked so hard to turn it around and become some of the best developers in the Gaming Industry...

I have been supporting Epic since the Epic MegaGames, Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal + Unreal Tournament, into the modern day with Unreal Engine and Fortnite. I would love to see Epic turn this game around, but I am starting to lose faith. I would love to be proved wrong...
