Are you facing troubles getting Fortnite to launch? Let’s tackle this head-on and get you back to gaming in no time!

Wondering what to do when Fortnite won’t start? You’re not alone, and we’ve got some easy fixes for you.

Quick Fixes for Fortnite Launch Issues

If Fortnite isn’t launching for you, start by checking your game files. Sometimes, files get corrupted. But don’t worry, the Epic Games Launcher has a built-in feature to repair them. Just open the launcher, go to ‘Library’, find Fortnite, click on the three dots, and select ‘Verify.’

Another common solution is to update your graphics drivers. Outdated drivers often cause games to crash or not launch at all. Head to your graphics card manufacturer’s website, find the latest drivers, and install them. This can make a big difference.
