We have bug fix information, and will be posting whatever else has been added to the game. We will add the official patch notes if they are posted.

• In non-competitive playlists, the Launch Pad has been unvaulted.
• Implemented Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics system, mentioned previously here.

Fortnite 11.50 Patch Bug Fixes

Here are the expected bug fixes for the 11.50 patch. These were taken from the Trello that display all of the stuff that Epic is working on in terms of bugs.

• Resolved an issue involving some players’ completion of the “Search chests in a single match” Chaos Rising Challenge not being saved.
• The “Earn Gold Scavenger Medals” Rippley vs. Sludge Overtime Challenge now tracks progress properly.
• The Sidegrading feature is no longer present in competitive playlists. Its presence in these playlists was unintentional, as noted in our v11.40 post.
• Resolved an issue involving new players on consoles having difficulty matchmaking after first linking their Epic account.
• Addressed reports of iOS players activating their device’s swipe-up feature when trying to press inventory buttons.
