Fortnite bad input lag and frame rate drops

For the most part it is running extremely smoothly, only time it gets bad when the drop pods with Grunts/Spectres drop in it will occasionally cause a dip in frame rate or lag. It is usually only happens when you are near them when they come down.

Cables won't cause a frame rate drop, they would cause lag. So if you are specifically noticing a frame rate drop when playing single player then it's probably the game just can't handle that much going on. Before thinking it's caused by something being
wrong with your Xbox, can you try recreating the frame rate drop on a friends Xbox?

Post patch, this game still suffers from huge frame rate and input lag issues. Needs another patch.

The eye cant tell the difference between the frame rates, WITHOUT drops, thats when the problems (lag, jerking) occur. Basically its going to effect the smoothness of the game, and NOT the actual "look" of the game, especially the higher frame rates. The
eyes dont see frame rates anyways.

There seems to a lot of confusion regarding this topic.

For whatever reason, today's gamers are unable to comprehend the difference between frame rate drop and server lag. What is thought to be frame rate drop is in fact server lag. The exact same thing happened for the first couple of weeks for Battlefield 3.

The same thing also happened for Halo 4 the first couple of weeks.
