Summary

Hello,

Since one week or two, the Enter key is forced bind to the Text Chat.
I use the Enter key as my main action button (grab weapon, etc.). I don’t care about the Text Chat, but despite my Enter key is bind to the action button in the configuration, it just open this useless Text Chat.

The issue raise last year and was fixed.
But now the bug appears again!!
I’m not alone, I’ve seen other people with the same issue again!

Please fix this, remove this useless Text Chat that nobody cares…
For me, Fortnite is just unusable without my Enter key!

Thanks.

This has been going on for over 2 months now!! myself & others have not been able to play since the update on the 10th of January. Its funny that when this issue started back in December 2024 it was fixed 2 weeks later! Do EPIC really think this is fair? I have reported this issue so many times & all I get is they know about it but cannot say when it will be fixed!

HOW MUCH LONGER ARE WE EXPECTED TO WAIT?

I would appreciate a response from someone as this is now getting ridiculous!!

Thanks

Chris

ps. It’s pointless me purchasing the NEW battle pass as I still cannot play.

Still ongoing, makes it impossible for left handed people to play if they use the enter jey.

Nothing new to report after pinging the team, but it is still being worked on.

New player here. I am a lefty. So like mentioned above I also have problems with the enter key.

Did 3 games now, but it is unplayable, and I will remove the game.

If the problem is known for over a year, they just do not want to solve the problem or not take us lefty’s series.

It is a shame, looked like a nice game,…..

As an old-school gamer since original Doom, I play every single game the same way - arrow keys for movement, little finger over ctrl = crouch, shift = sprint, and return = reload. Not been back into Fortnite for months since this started again - popped into a game and on trying to reload it entered text chat - i panicked for the esc key, and was killed. I’ll try again in June i guess, although my hopes are low.
