In the world of Fortnite, players are dealing with a bug that’s causing quite a bit of frustration. The Collection Book, an important part of the game, is failing to respond to the ‘B’ button, which is supposed to navigate players back. Consequently, players are forced to reset the game in order to escape the bug’s clutches.

- Issue causing players to reset game to navigate back
- Player community suggests possible workarounds

The Glitch:
This nagging bug occurs when a player tries to leave the Collection Book page – the ‘B’ button, which should help navigate back, goes AWOL. As the poster, RickPost, attests, the only way around this is to reset Fortnite. Smack dab in the middle of gameplay, halting everything to reboot is about as appealing as pineapple on pizza (yep, we said it!)
The Community Response:
User ‘connr_shep’ suggested a workaround: plug a mouse and keyboard into your Xbox console. As they say, when life gives you lemons, you just make some lemonade by plugging in a new input device!
Moreover, ‘hueblitss’ shared their personal experience with such UI glitches and recommended using mouse and keyboard as fail-safe methods too. Clearly, a trend is emerging.
The Broader Impact:
‘RecognitionFar2143’ amplified the problem more, sharing that this issue happens approximately half the time they interact with schematics on Xbox. When the issues spread faster than gossip in high school, you know we got a problem!
A popular game like Fortnite is no stranger to occasional bugs, and this current issue with the Collection Book is an unfortunate bump along the road. However, it is uplifting to observe the community coming together to offer temporary solutions until an official patch arrives. When life takes away your ‘B’ button, it appears the best response is to plug in a mouse and keyboard!
