Players have flocked to Fortnite with the Fortnite OG season that’s currently live. However, some are reporting experiences of a strange bug that teleports them seamlessly across the map with no explanation as to why.
Fortnite OG takes players back to the game’s Chapter 1 map, and players worldwide have hopped into the game to enjoy the nostalgia, even if they didn’t play it the first time around. However, some players are sharing a strange bug that appears to randomly teleport them across the map, leaving them dazed and confused and often at the mercy of any players they accidentally teleport into.

The first place we saw this bug appear was from a player on Reddit. In the heat of battle, they didn’t realize they were teleported from Tilted Towers to Lucky Landing. Only after they’d defeated their opponent did they scan their surroundings and see what had happened.
While some fans in the replies to the post attempted to reason that the bug is a culmination of built-up momentum that was triggered when the player hit the ground, it’s not an isolated incident. Others have been sharing the exact same bug on Twitter.
The bug is being experienced by yet more players, as a second post popped up on Twitter that shows exactly the same thing. In these follow-up cases, no one has any idea why this could be happening. It seems to be a genuine glitch.
The sheer volume of players in Fortnite may mean that bugs like this are easier to capture and share. Interestingly, the community doesn’t appear to be angry about them. They’re having much too good a time in their favorite battle royale. “Ngl, I love little bugs like this.. also nice kill.”
We believe that since this bug doesn’t break anything, players are happy to live with it. If anything, it adds another layer of randomization to every match. “That transition was clean! Really does make it look like a feature.”
While it’s obviously not a feature, the bug comes at an interesting time for Fortnite because of how teleportation links with some of the seasons from Chapter 1. As that Chapter came to a close, the Rift became a huge part of the story, so the bug is almost lore-friendly at this point.

Cities: Skylines II didn’t arrive in a great state last month, with performance issues, bugs, and other issues dampening fans’ excitement. Around a month later, Colossal Order have issued a developer update, promising to continue working on the game’s performance, bug fixes, and early modding tools. That certainly sounds good, but it also means post-launch content, and possibly the console versions, will arrive later than expected. Colossal Order have provided this updated roadmap.
Despite the 1,000 explorable planets and seemingly endless side quests, Starfield’s universe can sometimes be extremely narrow. I mean that literally. The corridors in several space stations and ships are normally wide enough to fit only one person, which obviously leads to issues when you have fellow friendos following you. And now players have one simple request to crew mates: move out the dang way.
Players were pleasantly surprised when Epic Games added the Runaway Racer skin to Fortnite OG Season at no additional cost. The only caveat is that players need to work harder than they’ve ever worked in-game to unlock it.

Tracking down every Chapter 4 Season OG’s Hidden Gnomes isn’t easy, but it’s well worth the effort if you’re interested in leveling up fast through the new Battle Pass.
