Bug #1213

Game Freezes on Menu Open with Large Friend List

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	crsedeatsbutt on February 4, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	Release 1.0 - Season 1.0

Steps to Reproduce

1. Just have a large amount of friends on console (1000+)
2. Open any menu
3. Or try losing into arena royale and you will load into a black screen

Explanation

This bug is pretty common on cross play games like Fortnite/fall guys
Any time a menu is opened it causes the game to freeze, the issue stems from what I believe is too many friend on your friends list and the game trying to load all of their names. It’s been an issue for me since original beta launch for the game. This is on ps5 pro.

This constantly causes my game to either crash/freeze or stutter.

Is there any way to fix this?
Makes the game almost unplayable and it’s super unfortunate
