For instance, Epic previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-removes-building\/\">removed building<\/a> for a while.<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s happening with Fortnite\u2019s new movement?

For anyone playing on PC, Epic has advised: \u201cAdvanced mouse and keyboard players may also consider a settings change after the update.
