Why do I get ESP-RHI-01 error code when launching Fortnite or Save The World?

This error message can indicate that a file in the Epic Games folder is corrupted. Deleting these folders and then launching the game again should fix the error. The folder and files inside are recreated when the game is launched again.

    1. In the lower right corner, click on the chevron icon (the arrow pointing up)
