Additional Notes

Hello,

I am reaching out to report a recurring issue regarding voice chat on Fortnite maps.

With every update, the voice chat bug seems to come back. Even when it gets fixed, it consistently returns again with the next update. This situation is becoming increasingly frustrating.

In addition to DDOS-related issues, these bugs are having a significant negative impact on both the creator community and players. It affects the overall experience and the stability of sessions.

We are genuinely concerned and disappointed to see these issues happening repeatedly over time, despite previous fixes.

We hope a long-term solution can be implemented to prevent this bug from returning in future updates.

Thank you for your attention.

Kind regards,
saiyanop
