Why am I getting an error message in Fortnite?

If you see a specific error message in Fortnite, try this first:

  1. Copy the full error message.
  2. Paste it into the search bar at the top of the support site (Opens in a new tab).
    Note: Use exact wording for the best results.
  3. If an article exists for that error, it should appear in the results with steps to fix the issue.
