Summary
I wanted to kindly bring attention to a very frustrating Fortnite bug that has been affecting players and creators for a long time.
The issue happens when a player dies while already holding the jump button. After respawning, the player is sometimes unable to jump until they release and press the jump button again. In normal gameplay it can already be annoying, but in parkour maps, deathruns, and obstacle-based experiences where players die and respawn very frequently, it becomes extremely frustrating and can seriously hurt the player experience.
As a Fortnite creator, this is especially difficult because it directly affects the enjoyment of maps where jumping and fast respawns are central to the gameplay. It creates a lot of unnecessary frustration for players and can make them leave the experience.
I would really appreciate it if the team could take another look at this issue. Fixing it would make a huge difference for parkour and deathrun creators, and for the players who enjoy those types of maps.
