If this doesn’t fix the problem
1. Outdated or Corrupted Game Files: Missing or corrupted files can cause crashes. Verifying the game files through the Epic Games Launcher can fix this.
2. Driver Issues: Outdated or incompatible GPU drivers can cause Fortnite to crash. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
3. Overheating: If your PC overheats while playing Fortnite, it can cause performance issues or crashes. Monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures.
4. Hardware Overclocking: If your CPU or GPU is overclocked, it can cause instability, especially if the overclock isn’t stable for all games.
5. Incompatible Software: Some background apps, like recording or overlay software, can cause conflicts. For example, OBS can sometimes cause issues if not configured properly.
6. Game Settings: Ultra-high settings can sometimes overload the system, causing crashes. Try lowering the graphics settings.
7. Windows or System Updates: Incomplete or failed Windows updates or corrupted system files could be causing crashes.
8. Network Issues: Poor or unstable network connections can lead to freezing and crashing in Fortnite, especially in online modes.

Didn’t work for me , game runs fine until I join a lobby then it freezes and crashes, it’s been 3 months I want to play

[@alex_er_23]

Since the issue happens specifically when you get into a lobby, it might be related to graphics settings, drivers, or even some background applications causing conflicts. Here’s what you can try:
1. Lower In-Game Graphics Settings: Reduce the graphics quality in Fortnite, especially settings like shadows, effects, and view distance.
2. Update Your Graphics Drivers: Make sure your drivers are up to date. Sometimes a fresh install of the drivers can help too.
3. Verify Game Files: In the Epic Games Launcher, go to your library, click on the three dots next to Fortnite, and choose “Verify.” This will check for any corrupted files.
4. Close Background Applications: Close any unnecessary programs that could be using up system resources or causing conflicts (especially apps like Discord, or overlay features).
5. Check for Overheating: Monitor your GPU and CPU temperatures during the game to ensure they’re not overheating. High temperatures can cause the game to crash.
Try these steps, and let me know if anything changes!

My game keeps crashing even after this. It is completely fine till I press play and load into the game. Than it crashes any ideas?

[@omarnahdi3380]

I had the same issue and I fix it by downgrading the graphics, you might be having an integrated or cheap gpu
