Saturday, November 18, 2023 01:50 AM Saturday, November 18, 2023 01:50 AM Epic has introduced a new tool for documenting toxic behavior in Fortnite, and players will now have access to audio reports, which will continuously record voice chats in 5-minute clips for players to provide as evidence to… Moderators when reporting bullying and other forms of harassment, and for anyone under 18, will automatically turn this feature on, engadget reports. Fortnite players over the age of 18 will have more say in how audio reports are implemented, and in the game’s main settings, they will have the option to set them to “always on,” which will apply to every channel they’re on, or “off when possible,” which It would be disabled in group channels with friends as long as everyone’s preferences match. In a potential attempt to allay privacy concerns, Epic says audio clips will not be retained for long and will only be stored locally on the user’s device unless provided as evidence. In those cases, you’ll have to move quickly. As each new recording appears, the previous recording will be deleted. “This means that only the last five minutes of audio can be reported,” Epic said. The company added that under normal circumstances, audio clips will be automatically deleted either following 14 days or once action is taken. If the accused player appeals the decision within that period, it may be extended for another 14 days. However, Epic says it will keep the audio for as long as necessary if legally required. The move follows similar actions taken by companies like Activision, Microsoft, Sony and others in the recent past as they try to crack down on harmful online behaviour. Earlier this year, Xbox introduced a system for sending 60-second audio clips along with abuse reports in voice chats.
