Fortnite festival is a free rhythm game mode in which players can perform songs to achieve scores and climb the leaderboard. The game includes popular music tracks and has three modes of play. The vocals of the song are mapped to buttons that help the players to hit the notes while performing. There are four different instruments to choose from, as well as several free and purchased songs. The game features online multiplayer for all platforms and local multiplayer for Xbox and PlayStation. However, players have been recently facing problems with mappings, especially the square button on PS, after an update. In this article, we have discussed the problem and shared the relevant steps to take.
Fortnite Festival Square button not working: How to fix it
The square button on PlayStation and the X button on Xbox are not working for players who have set custom keybinds. It happened after their last game update v37.20 on September 10. The developers did say that they will deprecate custom creative keybindings that will affect fire, target, crouch, jump, and sprint actions. The motivation behind this action is unknown and certainly not based on user feedback, as most players seem frustrated because of the error. Apart from this, the update also added the Roly Poly spawner device, Hive Stash chest, new prefabs, and galleries from the O.X.R. base and the Hive. Several other ecosystem and device updates for weapons, proximity chat, trigger, disguise device, round settings, etc., were added.
Although Epic Games has taken note of the issue and assured players of a solution, there is no fixed date. The issue was reported on September 12, and there has been no breakthrough yet. The only possible and temporary solution for this is to use preset key bindings for gameplay. The bug impacts various difficulty levels (like Expert and Hard) and modes (such as Festival and Creative), though some players report that default keybind presets on lower difficulties may work without issues; overall, the problem affects most difficulty settings.
