Fortnite update v43.10 (November 12, 2026) is supposed to fix controller drift with the Old School and Quick Builder presets, the Toggle Inventory and Toggle Map keybinds, the reload bug when swapping weapons and a GPU crash or hang on DirectX on PC. It also adds a “High Quality Assets” download option in the Epic Games Launcher. A few hours after the update, does it actually change anything for you?

What Epic says: High Quality Assets downloads these assets to your PC “so you’re not relying on your connection to stream them during matches” (Library, three dots on the Fortnite icon, Options). Epic gives no download size and no performance figures, and does not say which GPUs were affected by the DirectX crash.
Our questions:
- On PC, have you turned on High Quality Assets? How much did it download, and do you see fewer texture pop-ins or stutters in matches?
- If you play with the Old School or Quick Builder preset: is the diagonal drift gone when you move straight?
- Do your Toggle Map and Toggle Inventory keybinds work again, or did you have to rebind them?
- If Fortnite crashed or froze on DirectX before v43.10: is it stable now? Which GPU and driver are you using?
Please say which platform you play on (PC, PS5, Xbox, Switch or Switch 2, or mobile) and which mode (Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, OG).
