Fortnite patches battle royale, adds BattlEye anti-cheat measures, and sues cheaters
Are you one on the 10M people who’ve dipped into Fortnite’s battle royal mode? Or perhaps one in the 500K who played concurrently earlier this weekend? Then you’ll desire to point your eyeballs on Fortnite Items the game’s latest patch. The 1.7.1 update brings battle royale stats, a monster power balance within the Save the World mode, and changes for the progression system for Challenge the Horde game mode. At least if your studio might get the kinks resolved, anyway. My favorite patch note? “Added some structures near Tomato Town.”
Of note, Epic says it’s making good on its promise to upend cheaters, having now implemented the contentious but widespread third-party BattlEye program, even for PvE players. The program is employed in multiple games but continues to be criticized heavily for privacy violations, not too long ago by the ARK Survival Evolved community. Epic, however, has told you on Reddit that BattlEye wasn't to blame with the recent spate of false positives in cheat detection.
That isn’t to convey nobody’s responsible. Indeed, the corporation is apparently personally suing the creators of two sub-based cheat service, AddictedCheats, at the very least one of whom has become “banned from Buy Fortnite Items at the least nine times,” according to your filing. MOP readers will recall that Blizzard’s enjoyed even of litigation success over cheat-vendors preying alone games, and we’ll detect whether Epic does too.
