This grave bug in Rocket Racing is BACK AGAIN.

It occurred in January 2025.
Was fixed in February, then came back again in March, fixed, and now it is BACK AGAIN! What the hell?

Going through a teleporting checkpoint renders WASD controls unresponsive after a few seconds.
All other controls like boost or rocket engines still work.

All tracks using checkpoint teleports are currently UNPLAYABLE.

Still completely broken in v35.00.
Maps using teleporting checkpoints are unplayable.

The issue still persists in Fortnite 35.20. It’s 6 months now…
