That's sad if that's the case

So I basically need to find out how dependent that game is on a fast Internet connection; ie it took me about two hours to download and the fastest download speed I reached was 1.8MB/s, which is not great. So whether I stick with it... and/or get a playstation will depend a lot on that... but if I do then thanks, I'll look forward to playing with you
Anyhoo, gotta go to bed now so goodnight
I have high speed internet and even I experience lag in multiplayer mode on the PS4. Not so much on the laptop, though. *shrugs*
Have a good night.Sleep well.
That would be another option to aim for; higher speed internet... but thus far I haven't needed it cos it's been just about adequate for streaming etc. So I guess it depends how much I get into all of this, or whether this Fortnite is just a passing whim. What I'm going to do today is just play around with the settings in Fortnite and see if it's possible to reduce the lag by reducing the quality of the graphics or something like that... and my benchmark will basically be whether I can get the crosshairs to stabilise enough to actually be able to aim and take a shot. If I can get that, then I can maybe stick with playing it on my laptop after all (rather than getting a PS4 etc)... but I don't know for sure yet whether that's the only problem in the judderiness.
Yep, that's helped a lot by changing the settings to low quality; it immediately made it much more responsive both in and out of game, so I think I can play it on my laptop after all
