Steps to reproduce

Install fortnite with DX12 shaders
Wait for an update
DX12 shaders are gone

Expected behavior

SDL choices should stay

Screenshots

No response

Heroic Version

Latest Stable

System Information

OS: Windows 10

Additional information

I'm sorry because I'm not sure this one is useful. All I know is that I had DX12 mode enabled and after the update the game refused to procced since I didn't have the shaders any more and forced me to reboot in DX11 mode.

High resolution textures are still installed as far as I can tell and those were an optional download too so I'm not sure what's going on.

Verifying and repairing didn't do a thing either

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hi!

I come with more info. I finally "gave up" and installed the official store (I'll use both side to side, Heroic start-up time is just way better than Epic's (and UI is also better)).

Once installed I discovered that the high resolution textures weren't installed either. l So the issue is not only with DX12 shaders, but with all selective downloads, it seem they're lost in updates

I may change the title to reflect that

Thanks!

Just a shot in the dark. We might need tell legendary on the update command to also care about dlc?

Tracenji · 2024-06-30T09:53:10Z

any updates to this?
this seems to have happened to me too
reinstalling fortnite with dx12+hd textures as before increased fortnite install size from 57.6GB to 78.3GB
