Fortnite is an odd game where you as a player can literally turn into a bush. Players can buy the “PVE Campaign”, and/or they can choose the more popular free “PVP Battle Royale” version. Players can buy the “PVE Campaign”, and/or they can choose the more popular free “PVP Battle Royale” version. Does anyone else have like 5 - 20 second lag freeze where the screen is stuck at the start of the game as soon as you land or about to.

Hey guys, i have a ryzen 1700 and a radeon 580, 16gb ram etc. I stream fortnite at twitch.tv/aristant (if you want to see the issue) When playing fortnite i will freeze on the loading screen, if im in voice comms with someone they will chop up and the sound from other things will also. It will lag when i Die, and skip frames a bit, if im getting shot i notice on stream it lags and skips, stupid shit like that I noticed sometimes when i open epic games launcher it freezes my pc a bit. This is getting very old, and this is a new pc for the most part, upgraded the gpu ram mobo and cpu less than 5 weeks ago. I have done a fresh install of windows, defragged, done comprehensive virus checks, etc.
This is really getting terrible. How can i fix this? For Fortnite PC on a Ryzen 1700 and RX 580, you should be able to do 7-4500 bitrate, faster just fine. Your problems seem to characterize CPU load problems. Since you know what areas in the game trigger issues consistently, reproduce those issues and watch the processes that are floating to the top of the list. Task Manager isn't the greatest of tools to use for Process monitoring as it can be inaccurate.
So go download by Microsoft (its free) to give you a more accurate picture. Sort on the CPU column and watch what is hitting the CPU in the areas you know about.
Watch obs64.exe CPU levels, watch FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe CPU levels. Know what is 'normal' levels. If the combination of the two are pushing things too high, you need to reduce things like bitrate, resolution, FPS, in game settings. Xbox 360 controller for mac driver. If one or more processes other than the two cause load to start peaking above 90%, then you need to address that by shutting those outside processes off. Especially processes that are doing 5% or more. In general, you don't want to be running stuff you don't need.
Things like: - Apps and services in the Startup folder that can be disabled - Chrome, Edge, or other browsers (you should be running the browser on a separate computer/laptop/tablet your Twitch/YouTube admin consoles) - Making sure Windows update is set to non-hours when you stream - Etc.

The guy posting the emoji middle finger should take a look at benchmarks pitting low to mid-level discreet AMD and Nvidia PC graphics hardware against Intel's integrated graphics and then reevaluate his position. This clearly has everything to do with the graphics hardware available in Macs. To everyone in this thread: this has nothing to do with OpenGL or Metal, as is so ignorantly stated in the article. Are they going to make overwatch available for mac users. They're bringing the game to the PS4, which uses a form of OpenGL, so obviously the graphics API is not the issue.

When you ran these observations, did the problems reappear at the points where they were expected? (loading screen, when you die, etc.) If not, the observations dont mean anything. It has to be at known points and the problems triggered.
