Reading this while looking at replay mode that crashed 19 times today and hasn't been fixed since it's broken state at launch, in which you can't skip ahead or go back or it breaks even more. Devices visible, lighting wrong and objects not showing up.
FORTNITE PHOTO MODE IS COMING THIS SEASON YOU CAN: • Change character facial expression • Change character lighting / Rim Light • Change Camera/Lens Effects & Lighting • It then saves a high-res image in your FN Folder
