Was just reading about this, as one of the Epic games devs posted this on reddit: Quote Hey there, Thanks for bringing this up! We disabled Video Capture for the Nintendo Switch for performance and stability reasons when we did the client update for v5.40.2. We've been seeing a high rate of crashes due to Out of Memory issues and disabling this feature will save a large amount of RAM to help solve for that. This also helps with overall performance across the board, leading to a smoother in-game experience. We've since added a line mentioning this to the Patch Notes. We are also considering the possibility of making this feature optional in the future for those players who don't mind taking a performance hit. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Well.............Sony backed down and Cross play has arrived. https://blog.us.playstation.com/2018/09/26/extended-fortnite-cross-play-beta-launches-on-ps4-starting-today/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I'm really surprised they backed down now, the heat had basically died down as far as media coverage goes so I think they could have got away without giving in but it's good to know that player opinion can change the minds of a company as stubborn as Sony.

Daft Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 You say the backed down, but these things take time to implement and this beta is going live today. I'm not saying they weren't pushed into doing this, but cross-play is not a simple matter and if it is to be rolled out across more titles it needs a measured approach, especially since this isn't just cross-play, it's 'cross platform gameplay, progression and commerce across PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Mac operating systems'. Now if they could sort Keyboard and Mouse support out, we'd be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was possible months ago. I’m very glad they changed their tune. The Fortnite Team doing some good customer service too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was possible months ago. I’m very glad they changed their tune. Right, but that's not my point. If I buy a Season Pass on PSN, does it work for my XBL and for my Nintendo Switch? And if it does, who gets my money from the Season Pass? Sony? Okay, but Microsoft have a discount on V-bucks, so I'm going to buy it on XBL and use it on my Switch. That's just one game with a relatively homogenised system in place, but take Warframe for example, if I sell an item on one system to someone on another system...then I've just put money in the pocket of a competitor. I'm going to play Destiny on Xbox, but I'm going to use my Playstation exclusive gun... and Bungie have accidentally made this gun a bit too OP, but now I have an unfair advantage. Obviously Bungie is at fault...but it's going to tilt people. I'm going to play Overwatch on Xbox because Microsoft support Keyboard and Mouse, except that isn't supported on Playstation... I don't need to explain this one (but I will say K&M should be a standard option in all games and matchmaking should take into account input device). But what about when it comes to reporting people for abuse? Or party chat? Or sending messages? What about game invites? Cross-game cross-platform invite? The legals of signing into PSN has, up until this point, only had to concern itself with other PSN users – who all sign the same agreement. But how does that have to change to accommodate another network of gamers with its own T&Cs? Clearly, it's not too hard, but it was never simply about the flip of a switch IF this is meant to be rolled out into more games. And, this isn't just cross-play. It's 'cross platform gameplay, progression and commerce'. I too am happy that Sony have come around, but I would hardly call them slow on the up take – how long have Xbox and Switch players been playing together? About four months. I'd hardly say that was long when the real aim is standardised cross-play across both/all networks. I mean, the Fortnite cross-play is still in Beta. If it was as easy as flipping a switch, why would we even need that? We've had numerous cross-platform games before, so why is this different? It's either a pointless PR stunt for everyone, or we're actually looking at a more open way to play, and that has a lot of logistical and legal implications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't deny Sony held things up, but why is that a bad thing? like I said, Fortnite is a pretty homogenised experience, but what about my Warframe example? If cross-play/progression/commerce makes sense, then it is worth doing properly. So either this is just another singular exception (and a PR stunt), or it marks real change to all cross-platform games. So, which one do you think it is?
