Fortnite Rocket Racing Patch Notes: December 19 Update Notes, Changes and More
Players are going to want to venture into the game and check out all the content, and with the brand new update players are going to want to head in as they’ve addressed some changes that the community has provided them over recent weeks.
Check out all the patch notes below.
LONG QUEUE TIMES
We heard feedback that high-ranked racers have been experiencing long queue times in Rocket Racing, and our team is working on incremental improvements to help you get into your races faster. We’ll continue to monitor queue times and make adjustments if necessary.
CAR COLLISIONS
Car-on-car collisions have been a major topic among players, especially when a bump from behind spins your car 180 degrees. Today’s update will make those collisions a bit less punishing, and should help keep your car facing the finish line. We’ll continue to work on collision improvements for future updates too.
JACKIE OUTFIT QUEST
The Reach Gold rank in Rocket Racing Quest to unlock the Jackie Outfit was rewarding players for reaching Gold II instead of Gold I. We’ve patched this so that racers who have hit Gold I now just need to complete one full race to complete the Quest and receive the Jackie Outfit.
FORTNITE FESTIVAL
MISSING SONG LIBRARY
We fixed an error that caused players to see an empty song library in the Main Stage after suspending Fortnite on their device. This should also improve the pauses some players were encountering before a song starts.
FALL DAMAGE DISABLED
Fall damage has been disabled in the Main Stage’s Backstage. Jump off all the balconies you’d like, rockstars!
RESTART SONG
We’ve disabled the “Restart Song” functionality (available to Solo players) temporarily while we fix an error that was causing the game to become unresponsive.
INCORRECT POSTING TO LEADERBOARDS
We fixed an issue where some scores may have been posted to the wrong leaderboard. We will continue to monitor (and potentially audit) leaderboards moving forward to ensure their accuracy.
