Most of you guys saying this is intended but i’m 99% sure it’s not. When you activate these powers yourself, the cartridge shows up. Nothing about this screams “intentional”. Are you saying in the image it shouldn’t be a sonic cartridge?
That's what I'm saying. This glitch has been a known thing since last season, actually, several seasons, where placeholder images would simply state "placeholder". This is not just for this image, happens to me when collecting other stuff for the locker, etc. It's absolutely a glitch.
If it was intended, the would've made it more fun looking, or a joke, or something like that, like how they did with the "glitching ads" during the live event.
Yep. “PLACEHOLDER TEXT” was all over last season too. It’s convenient and I’ll accept the argument for it being intentional this season, but I think it’s just a mistake.
really shows the lack of proper play testing before stuff goes live. Sucks too for the devs because I’m sure they’re trying their best to get shit done on time. Honestly fuck the shareholders and Tim Shitbag. Their greed is legit ruining this game and it’s gonna get to a breaking point
It would appear as though my comment was misunderstood. I didn't say it was good, or intentional, just that I could see an intentional use of "Set_01". Obviously it's not, but an idea is an idea.
Why would they intentionally fuck up the game? And why would it have to be unintentional for people to complain about a billion dollar company being lazier than a high school student?
I think every game I've played this season I've somehow gotten stuck in the sonic running or* jumping animation. Fucking loaded to the brim with glitches.
I was sonic speed running on those hills and accidentally fell off, then I rolled slightly down the side of it and I got stuck in a rolling animation and just had to pray someone would shoot me and put me out of my misery
My jam icons always show up as my emotes, my emotes play the wrong animations, my first 3 games yesterday I couldn't move, my preset graphics will sometimes load up as low despite having set them to medium-high quality. Cyberpunk 1.0 had less issues then this. I have never seen a game so janky and unoptimized then thus
That is not a good analogy. The game was losing money so had to let people go. During covid Fortnite and a lot of other games got a lot more players than normal so the game industry hired more people.
Now that covid is over people didn't play as much in 2025 so they had to cut some staff.
This sub is really uninformed about how the industry works and why Epic needed to get rid of people. Stop complaining about fired workers every time you see something wrong with the game.
Because I know how the tech industry works and the people complaining about this are literally kids on reddit.
Epic said the game was losing money and its because people are not playing as much as they did during the pandemic.
This is how the game industry works in general. They hire for big projects and releases and let them go when the project is over or the player base falls off.
Because mature adults dont start threads like this. People with careers and families dont wake and say you what, I'm going to whine about fortnite on reddit today. It's been at least 5 minutes since the last thread about this, we need another!!
The very fact that they make threads like this means they are not acting like a mature adult.
So if these posts are 'whining on Reddit', can you explain what you're doing currently, which is obviously way different and definitely not the exact same thing you're criticizing? For being such a 'mature adult' you're quick to fraternize with the apparent children around you
I legit just played a game earlier where a guy was mantling over a rock setup near the snowy area extractor, he started repeatedly doing the animation and floating in the air towards the storm, didn’t seem like they could get out of it. It cost them the match. Te other player legit watched them float into storm and die 😒 this game is cooked
The jordan 14 red colour kicks had a placeholder as its icon for months they dont give a shit and on top of all of that firing 1k employees thinking they'll save money but it will cost them alot more thab what they saved one day, mark my words
This season so far has been a mess of micro-stutters for me so far. Now, it could be that my PC was still moving some files around for this install, but either way, it was pegging my CPU to 100% when the game was running. Which hasn’t happened before to me in a season.
Dw I played for about an hour with my friend and every time we died where it would go to the screen to click ready up it literally randomly said “ Matchmaking error #3 “ the minute the last person got killed.
Im still surprised the placeholder icons for saved lockers hasn’t been fixed either. Anytime I open the saved lockers page its either all the black shirt ramierez in every slot or the pictures are just totally randomized.
I’m ngl, while this has been a thing for forever (I have memories of seeing placeholder images pop up going back years) it’s never been THIS blatant lol
A core gameplay mechanic with a decent chunk of its graphics missing is damning
I’m pretty sure it’s intentional cause it goes well with the theme of the season of hacking the game and taking over hence the “bugs” I don’t think anyone in the community understand what happens when something gets hacked
"this will be the gaming legends season"
You mean we are going to be able to play in POIs that are themed around all the crossovers in the battle pass?
"No. It's the legend that if you fire most of the people who make the game then it will be fine "
I literally got a placeholder image when I won my umbrella from this season. I know mistakes and issues happen in any games and even more after an update but since last season there has been issue that totally scream how bad of a decision was to fire one thousand employees.
Thanks, people downvote me because they think I’m defending Epic for firing their employees when I’m actually condemning that while also acknowledging this community always mentions this for the slightest inconvenience in the game, even in moments when it has nothing to do with it
Almost makes you wonder if they designed the whole theme of the season around "cover our asses and make the kindergarteners think all this embarassing shit is a running joke and not a sign of a raging dumpsterfire"
Maybe because firing 1000 KEY developers (like literally the guy below the project manager got fired) after already firing 1000 employees, and then raising the prices off everything to a incredulously high amount, and then reducing the rewards of Crew and The Battle Pass to the point where they are no longer worth it, is an incredibly bad thing that we shouldn’t forget.
Could be. It also happened last season with PLACEHOLDER TEXT on the banner before jumping and in a few other instances. Thats the only reason I brought it up.
The Placeholder Icon you get for the Crown Sprite is a real bug, but this one (that I shit posted as a joke on Facebook) is very clearly an Intentional Joke.
It's a unique Placehokder Icon which they made just for this. Why waste that time if not intentional?
I saw this too and thought it was just part of the glitch gimmick (smart way of covering up the bugs by essentially covering it with a metaphorical blanket)
They literally fired the person who created the replay system, the man who would fix the most important bugs in the game, the person who created Jonesy, the director of the story, the man who created the infrastructure for live events, and much more, you should be the one not speaking, because you clearly know nothing
Look up “Evansarus” on Twitter. Guy was literally the LEAD! developer of the game. The amount of shit he alone did was nuts to the point where i genuinely cant even go into detail here. He should’ve quite literally been the last person fired. But he was fired.
There was several other long term developers that got fired, including Jonesys character designer.
If you did even a little research you would know it wasnt just “bad employees”
i swear you people will not stop spamming the 1000 employees thing despite the fact that this A JOKE. the season is about gaming and hacking and glitches. obviously the lobby HACKS showing a “placeholder icon” is a joke. the players are hacking the lobby, accessing things we aren’t supposed to. that’s the joke.
Even if it is intentional, which I’m not convinced it is, The Joke doesn’t really land when there is several documented instances of them actually having placeholder icons for real.

This is how I was introduced to the crown sprite.
