Best value pack in Fortnite if you only buy one
Finally worked this out, so here is the write-up I wish I had found. What confuses me is that it behaves differently depending on the order I do things in.

I will report back once I have tested it properly.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, verify the files before anything else; it catches more problems than people expect.

Agreed on most of this, except do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.
Let us know which part worked.

From experience, region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.
Good luck, it is a common snag.

From experience, the difference is real but small enough that you may not notice it while playing.

Depends on your setup, but broadly worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.
Let us know which part worked.

In my testing, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.
That fixed it for me, at least.

Quick correction to the above: the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

This is the bit people miss — do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

This is the bit people miss — nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.
