Epic Games has released a brand new update for Fortnite. According to the release notes, update 11.20 adds support for Microsoft’s DirectX 12 API. Theoretically, this should improve overall performance on systems with older CPUs. To use Microsoft DirectX 12, players will have to select it in the Advanced Graphics section of the Video settings.
Furthermore, this latest patch allows players to adjust the UI contrast. To do this, players will have to use the User Interface Contrast setting in the Graphics section of the Video settings.
Moreover, this patch increases the Effective Health given from Slurp Tankers. It also brings back Daily Challenges (that players can complete for XP) and adjusts the headshot multiplier of the Tactical Shotgun.
Lastly, this patch comes with numerous bug fixes.
As always, the Epic Games Store launcher will download this patch the next time you launch it. You can also find below its complete changelog.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Well done Epic Games!
hahahaha the best account here
Excellent.
Fernando’s firmware also needs updating to thesaurus version 11.20.
gonna try out dx12. hopefully they knocked it out of the park like everything else they do. love this game.
Epic Games has really been showing who’s the best studio this year. My salutations go to them for continued game support where every update improves even the tiniest details in a free-to-play game. Thanks for everything you’ve done for the community, Tim Sweeney.
Indeed.
Timmy Tencent is the best! All the games from EGS are free! He’s a great guy.
Indeed. Shenmue Free is definitely preferable to Shenmue Three so cheers to Timmy for that!
Fernando Chapter 2, as I like to call it!
why?
Will probably help AMD a lot. They suck in DX 11 on Unreal 4. They are quite good with a DX 12 backend to the engine.
yup I tested it out on my RX 590. Works insainly well over DX11. Makes me wonder why Jedi Fallen order is only DX11…
Episode 9 is a trainwreck waiting to happen with almost the entire movie leaked and people hating all of it. Respawn had never done a game outside Source Engine. I think they simply needed it ready for Holiday sales before any damage could be done to the game for things outside their control. Mandalorian being liked should give the title legs now and I wouldn’t be surprised if they added a DX 12 backend.
11 needs to die out already even on esport titles, Vulkan is what dev’s should focus on even more so with games like this since vulkan is cross platform
Already some video benchmarks out. Use it on AMD and stick to DX 11 on Nvidia.
Excellent.
I dont think kids knows how to handle graphic settings
Does the PC version use Vulkan? I did try and look it up but all i get is mobile info
AMD and Nvidia benches.
