Why Isn’t My Fortnite Working? Tips to Get Back in the Game
Last updated
Ever tried launching Fortnite and it just wouldn’t work? You’re not alone. Let’s talk about why your Fortnite might not be working and how you can fix it.
So, you clicked on Fortnite and nothing’s happening, or maybe you’re facing crashes. It’s frustrating, right? Well, you’re in luck because we’ve got some answers and solutions for you.
Quick Fixes for Fortnite Issues
The reason your Fortnite isn’t working could be as simple as an outdated game version or a poor internet connection. Make sure your game is up to date and that your internet connection is stable. Sometimes, a quick game or system restart does the trick!
If you’re playing on PC or Mac and updates or restarts aren’t helping, check if your system meets the game’s requirements. Fortnite is always evolving, and your system might need a little boost to keep up. For console and mobile players, ensuring your device’s software is up to date is equally important.
When All Else Fails, Check for Outages
Sometimes, it’s not you; it’s Fortnite. The game’s servers might be down. Websites like Downdetector can show you if others are having similar problems. If the servers are indeed down, all you can do is wait it out. Epic Games is usually quick to address these issues.
If server outages aren’t the problem, and you’ve tried everything from updating to restarting without luck, it might be time to reach out to Epic Games’ support. They’re there to help you troubleshoot and get back to the action.
