How do I fix controller input lag in Fortnite?
The following troubleshooting steps may help reduce controller input lag:
Drivers
Make sure your controller drivers are up-to-date. First, try updating with Windows Update:
- Press the Windows key on your PC.
- In the search field, type: Update
- Select Check for Updates.
You can also visit your controller manufacturer's website to check for the most current drivers.
Wireless Controllers
If available and your controller is wireless, make sure you're using the 2.4GHz connection protocol instead of Bluetooth. 2.4GHz is more stable and has less latency. For more information, refer to your controller's user manual or help website.
Wireless Polling Rate
If your controller is wireless and your device allows it, try increasing the refresh polling rate. Setting the polling rate to the highest possible value may reduce latency. Typically, the app for your controller should offer options to modify the polling rate.
Wireless Mouse
If your mouse is wireless, try using the controller's dongle instead of Bluetooth. Connecting with the dongle is much faster and more stable than Bluetooth.
If this doesn't reduce latency, please contact your controller manufacturer for further support.
