   Fortnite uses day and night cycles and dynamically destroyed environments. So I guess that means Fortnite now has a loading screen between day and night and they rebake per day passed to account for the missing buildings and crap resulting in ridiculous load times. OR they use the cascade day and night feature they used in…

   2 reasons: 1. its legacy, we've discussed removing it and it's probably going to get removed at some point. 2. There's an ini option (will probably become a project setting if not already ) to use non-physically based shading (fortnite uses this). Although I don't recommend changing back and forth between the two since…

   Fortnite seemed to be developed around features of UE4 that have now been scrapped, I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed.

   There are plans, but nothing specific. But they are dedicated to solving this problem since their own game (Fortnite), also suffers from lack of dynamic GI.

   So by this time next year we'll be playing UE4 games. That`s interesting even though Fortnite was already announced for *somewhere* in 2013.

   It's a technique. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's more than one implementation out there. In any case, there's no evidence of GI in Fortnite from the footage show thus far.

    Epic typically ships a title to show off their latest game engine. I think when Fortnite is dated for release you'll see a public version of UE4 available shortly afterward.
