This is a plea to Epic Games.
Some patch notes and related pages for older versions of Fortnite, including Save the World and Battle Royale, are missing and have been lost. It would be great if these webpages could be brought back in some form, at least until they could be archived.
These pages were at one point on the Epic Games website, and at some point in time the pages had to be migrated and a lot of the old pages simply didn’t make it to the new website.
Such pages include:
- Online Test 1-11 release notes and announcements.
-
- Most have been archived in some form, but we are missing Online Test 10 stuff.
- Update v1.5.4
-
- Was posted on the Save the World Subreddit but the webpage doesn’t work.
- The 9/20/2017 update
-
- Linked to on the EA 1.6.3 Release Notes (9/25/2017), archived on the internet archive here.
- The 10/6/2017 update
This surely isn’t all of them, and there is a good chance that many more pages are missing as well. I am aware that this isn’t exactly an easy thing to see happen if it’s even possible to begin with. Epic isn’t very keen on releasing older things, and it is inevitable that things will be lost to time (even manifests for old versions have been purged as time went on). But, a man can dream.
