New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on May 13, 2022) follows:

Fortnite Mobile is the mobile and tablets version of the successful battle royale game from Epic Games.

Fortnite Mobile seeks to offer almost the same experience as the original game, but adapting it to touch screens.

To adapt to different types of hardware, Fortnite Mobile also offers various graphical settings. Players can tweak things like detail level and FPS rate.

Recently, Fortnite Mobile received a hotfix after which the 90 FPS and 45 FPS options went missing from graphical settings. However, this has an explanation (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14).

According to multiple reports, the latest Fortnite Mobile hotfix brought performance issues and the loss of additional FPS options (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

Performance issues manifest themselves primarily in heavy FPS drops during matches.

Fortnite’s optimization.

The Epic Games team shed more light on the performance issues. They claim it’s all due to Fortnite Mobile compatibility conflicts with recent GPU drivers on multiple devices.

The company is currently working with partners to resolve the issue. However, there is no ETA for it yet.

Due to some GPUs having compatibility issues with recent driver updates, Android players may experience decreased performance or no longer see options for 45fps or 90fps graphic settings.

We are actively working with our partners and will provide an update when one is available. Updating your Android OS and drivers as updates become available may help in the interim.

Also, an Epic Games Community Coordinator added that the loss of the Fortnite Mobile 90 FPS and 45 FPS settings is due to the game being currently in a ‘compatibility mode’.

We will update this story once new developments on the matter emerge in the future.

11:17 am (IST): Fortnite support on Twitter has confirmed that the devices with Adreno 660 or higher will have an option to run Fortnite at 90 FPS. Moreover, devices for which the option was missing will also have it re-enabled.

📱 Hey android players! In next week’s update, devices with an Adreno 660 or better will have the option to run Fortnite at 90 FPS. Devices that previously had 90 FPS will also have it reenabled. If your device is compatible you’ll find the setting available once you’ve updated. (Source)
