Epic Games has launched the fourth chapter of Fortnite, and has ported the game to Unreal Engine 5.1. As such, Fortnite is the first game powered by Unreal Engine 5.1 that supports Nanite, Lumen and Virtual Shadow Maps.
As Epic Games stated:
“NANITE
Nanite provides highly-detailed architectural geometry. Specifically, buildings are rendered from millions of polygons in real-time, and each brick, stone, wood plank, and wall trim is modeled.
Natural landscapes are highly-detailed too. Individual trees have around 300,000 polygons, and each stone, flower, and blade of grass is modeled.
LUMEN
Lumen reflections provide high-quality ray traced reflections on glossy materials and water.
Also, Lumen provides real-time global illumination at 60 FPS. You’ll see beautiful interior spaces with bounce lighting, plus characters reacting to the lighting of their surroundings. (For example, red rugs may bounce red light onto your Outfit.) Also, Outfits that have emissive (a.k.a. glowing) qualities will scatter light on nearby objects and surfaces.
VIRTUAL SHADOW MAPS
Virtual Shadow Maps allow for highly detailed shadowing. Each brick, leaf, and modeled detail will cast a shadow, and character self-shadowing is extremely accurate. This means that things like hats and other small details on characters will also cast shadows.
TEMPORAL SUPER RESOLUTION (TSR)
Temporal Super Resolution is an upgrade over Temporal Anti-Aliasing in Fortnite, and allows for high-quality visuals at a high framerate.”
In order to showcase the game’s overhauled graphics, the team shared the following screenshots.
Fortnite is a free-to-play game, and you can download it from the Epic Games Launcher.
Enjoy!

Stutter?
100%
Already tested?
No stuttering
Stutters finally resolved! I have been stuttering ever since I got my Titan XP replaced by a 3080 ti, regardless of settings, and now, no matter which settings I select, the game runs properly. Hopefully it will be fixed for you as well.
For me they are just less frequent, are you sure you dont have any stutter?
I have none as well
Too bad it’s a sht game. I heard they finally released a mode where ppl actually fight instead of building sht to run away from a fight lmao
I guess they finally caught up to warzone and pubg. The cancer is spreading lol
This mode is already one year old
its actually a very fun game. too bad you made up your mind without playing it because all the cool kids hate on it.
I did play it, 4 years ago. Uninstalled immediately when this kid tried to build a skyscraper to run away from the fight.
Na pane na gamithoune me tis paparomalakies tous. Einai gia ta pitsirikia ta spastika.

He had learned how to use the tools at hand, you were stubborn and did not. The game is good for what it is and you just don’t like it. No need to sh*t on other peoples plates for that.
You know, usually when you defend something you show frustration along with hostility towards your interlocutor. Did you mean to do that?Do you usually build sht so far up that you don’t see your enemy anymore?
And most importantly, did I hit a nerve? Because I sht you not, I didn’t mean to sht on your plate amigo.
Nice!
At this point i’m just wondering where the hell are you getting your upvotes from, cause everyone is on to your troll account lmao
Stop crying, kid.
i’m way older than you, you POS.
That’s why are you crying.
just tried it out. got everything maxxxed on a 6800xt running at a solid 90 fps. looks amazing. gonna play with the ray tracing later.
Yes, for a cartoony game. What type of BS news is this?
Games can be anything they want – serious, cartoony, arcadey, simulator and anything in between.
BS news? Yes, the news that the creators of one of the most used game engines out there is putting out new technology shows is BS news indeed. /s
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
